From the moment we went to reception you could tell you were at a place of pure beauty and the staff that knew what they were talking about. The room was large and the private balcony over looking the Mossman Gorge was exceptional. We ate in the restaurant every night because the food was so good the first night why go anywhere else. We also experienced the thermal facial spa and it was the most relaxing treatment I have ever had. The staff were very helpful and went out of their way to assist us. I was particularly impressed with there knowledge about the things to do in the area and were not disappointed in any of the suggestions. Will definitely be back.

Just returned from a FANTASTIC two night stay at Silky Oaks Lodge. Each of us was upgreaded to our own treehouse - what a luxury!!We received a warm welcome at Reception, then a personalised tour by the owner.Beautiful home made biscuits were in our rooms when we arrived - lights were dimmed & candles glowing. Such a lovely way to enter a room.Our dinners each night were delicious & served by very friendly staff, as were our breakfasts. Our picnic lunch was served in the amzing Jungle Perch which makes you feel like you are suspended over the Mossman River.Activities included the 3 hour hike through the Daintree and a 2 hour speer fishing adventure with a local. Yoga with Erin was relaxing, if not providing a few laughs for us middle aged women.Could not recommend it highly enough.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in March, 2013. It is one of the most peaceful, romantic, beautiful places we have ever stayed. Located in the rainforest, our suite was over looking the river, which added to the already mystic surroundings. The owners and their staff were attentive, friendly and first class in every way. And this was gourmet dining at its best. Do not miss dinner in the octagon, set apart and perfect for the beginning of a seductive evening¿¿¿The activities available are varied, unusual and well planned, such as a walk bare footed through the mangroves with a local aboriginal who will cook the shell fish you collect when you are finished. The grounds and quasi-natural pool are superb, as are the suites and furnishings. A great memory!

This is an amazing retreat. The staff were wonderful and the rooms were superb with lovely added touches of class with great views and beautiful surroundings. The food was amazing and service was fantastic. The bush walking tracks along the river were easy and the afternoon tour guide provided an interesting and informative guided tour of the surroundings. The spa treatments were absolute luxury. I would highly recommend this beautiful spot and hope to make it back someday for a longer stay.

My husband and I had a 3 night stay here and had a wonderful time - the lodge is located in paradise. Staff - the service was excellent. everyone was very friendly, professional and helpful. The staff were always happy to help and nothing was too much trouble.Food - the Restaurant is amazing. I love to cook and I am very fussy about the ingredients that I use. The chef uses locally sourced produce and everything is made on site (no mass produced desserts). The quality of all the dishes was amazing and the presentation was excellent. The fish is caught locally and the chocolate is also sourced from a local grower. Rooms - these are large and private. If you want a romantic getaway or a place to completely relax then you are choosing the right spot.The resort - the pool is beautiful. It has been designed like a fresh water oasis. The resort is on the side of the Mossman river and the water is crystal clear and perfectly safe to swim. We kayaked up the river which was a nice experience. There are also lots of walks to do if you want to experience the rainforest.
