We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day this year by having a night up at Silky Oaks Lodge near Mossman. It was one of the first times we'd traveled without our son, who is almost 15 months. We'd always wanted to stay at Silky so we were very excited as we made our way up there. After a quick lunch stop... More

This is a standout property situated in the unique rainforest of North Queensland directly alongside the picturesque Mossman River. The accommodation consists of pole-houses totally surrounded by the dense and beautiful forest. Meals are served on a verandah overlooking the river with the sound of rushing water. The cuisine is perhaps not quite as good as it thinks it is,... More

I have wanted to experience Silky Oaks Lodge for many years, being a local you think I would have sooner than later, however it was worth the wait. Everything was perfect, the view and sounds of the cascading river below our cabin, so calming to be able to immerse ourselves in mother natures pristine environment right outside our room. We...

We just enjoyed a lovely dinner Silky Oaks. Great setting, great presentation of food, good quality and taste, very friendly and attending staff. Prices for mains are in the mid $30ties but it's all worthwhile. Beautiful embedded in the stunning nature of this area. Very recommendable and definitely a place to go for special occasions. Can't comment on the rest... More

the rain forest in a wooden hut surrounded by nature at its rarest.  You need good nerves to cope with the extremely high humidity of the summer in these parts and also the strange noises during the night.   The hut is finished in luxurious manner with masses of cushions and pillows and large comfortable bed.   In the bathroom...

very isolated, nothing but you, the aroma of essential oils, relaxing music, the tree house and the bush turkeys down below. Wake up to the song of the birds of the daintree. The only place to eat is the resturant on the river. Very nice resturant but expensive. Hire a car to get to the local diners for a cheaper... More

We came across Silky Oaks on a damp grey afternoon having decided to leave Port Douglas and visit Palm Cove. As the road was blocked by an accident a local suggested Silky Oaks, We arrived at the end of lunch but the hosts offered us several delicious small plates from the lunch menu followed by the lightest fluffiest scones and...

So very beautiful but you will pay for it. I can't vouch for the accomodation but I feel the need to warn of the "Afternoon Tea Tourist Trap". We were told by a number of Port Douglas locals (working in the local shops) that we should stop into Silky Oaks Lodge for afternoon tea after we had visited Mossman Gorge.... More
