“A luxury eco lodge on the banks of the Mossman River. Expect stunning treehouses, suites and a river house with elegant interiors boasting hardwood floors, sumptuous en suites & verandahs overlooking the rainforest. Delicious food in the Treehouse Restaurant, and Healing Waters Spa for unwinding.”

Hotel review

Silky Oaks is a treetop camp sitting snug in the Daintree Rainforest on the banks of the Mossman River. There are a range of treehouses to chose from, including a Studio Treehouse with a marble bathroom and walk in rain shower, or a Deluxe Treehouse with a double spa bath. If you fancy being closer to the river then stay in a Riverhouse, or there’s the pricier Billabong Suite with timber floors and a double balcony which offers total peace and privacy. The restaurant is open-sided, ensuring stunning views over the Mossman River and rainforest. Chose from a number of private dining options to really take in the beautiful surroundings – our favourite is the Jungle Perch.
