Silky Oaks Lodge

Fantastic setting deep in the rainforest with a stream running through the property. Room was lovely and likewise the view from the balcony bar. Thoroughly recommended!

This is a lodge with a main building then with each room being a separate cottage situated around the property. We stayed in a "river" cottage which positioned us with a view of the Mossman river. Our rate included full breakfast from a buffet or a menu. The buffet was excellent! We had dinner on 1 evening and we were quite disappointed. The staff was a bit surly and selection was minimal. The dining room is open air and there were no bugs to speak of. There is wi-fi in the main building, which is free but slow. The rooms were nicely furnished. Floors were beautiful silky oak, the bathroom was clean and enticing. The cottage had a balcony with chairs and a hammock. The room had sliding glass doors with sliding screens. There is a beautiful swimming pool on property built into a grove of plants and trees. Our arrival was heavenly............we were walked to our cottage where new age music was playing on a Bose Wave, candles were lit in the room and on the balcony and the A/C was on. There was a list of things to do plus the lodge would take you several places if you had no car. There is a spa on premises however we did not check it out. The only con was the walking from the cottage to the main lodge, although a golf cart could have been called. It was extremely up and down on the path and a physically challenged individual would have a difficult time on the paths.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at Silky Oaks Lodge and it exceeded our expectations. The hotel grounds were amazing with stunning views. Each morning we woke up to the beautiful sounds of the rainforest. I particularly loved swinging on the balcony in the hammock with those views. The pool was beautiful and the billabong private beach was just amazing. So fresh! We had a long swim there and also went for a short canoe ride around the river.

A time of bliss and tranquillity, one of the most peaceful places we have ever stayed at!

Fabulous location in the Daintree rainforest made perfect by the staff and facilites. Wonderful peaceful walking trails.

experience was amazing. NEIL was awesome. helped us check in and get familiar with the hotel.

Unique, mystical and captivating is this resort. It is being at an exclusive luxury camp. The cabins are with polished floors, jacuzzi tubs and balconies with comfy hammocks. The ambience of being in the world of wild life throughout the night is thrilling. Rachel is a special gift to Silky Oaks Lodge, helping me plan exciting trips

Silky Oaks is a lovely place to escape to. Private, secluded, tranquil and serene, it's the perfect destination for a much-needed de-stress from the rifles of daily life. Not kid-friendly... And all the better for it!

An absolutely treat. The staff were so friendly, obliging and helpful. The setting was wonderful. We were upgraded to a glorious river house which gave us the most wonderful view of the river and the rainforest. Loved the sound of the rapids at night. so relaxing.

A very special place right in the rain forest. Quiet, relaxing and surrounded by nature. Magical! We stayed in the river rooms -- so beautiful -- inside and out. The dinners were lovely. It was the end of 3 weeks in Australia, and was so beautiful and memorial. 3 nights at least would be great ... take advantage of the free nature walk in the afternoon ... swim in the river ... and just unwind and enjoy
