Silky Oaks Lodge in Far North Queensland has just launched their high-end Billabong Suites, completing a $3 million refurbishment of the high-end property set amid the world renowned Daintree Rainforest.
The Billabong Suites are an indulgent addition to Silky Oaks’ already luxurious Deluxe Treehouses and Riverhouses on the renowned Mossman River that offer a total of 42 superbly-designed, stand-alone suites all with serene views across the water to the oldest living rainforest on the planet. Briefing the industry at a function in Sydney last night, owner Paul van Min said he is proud to present a ‘new look’ for Silky Oaks.
The property opened in 1985 with only 4 suites, and was once owned by P&O and Voyagers, but was bought by van Min three years ago who decided to add a new luxurious dimension with the Billabong Suites.
He says they feature custom designed furniture, open plan living areas, Bose sound systems, complimentary mini bar and a large full-length private balcony complete with hammock and day bed overlooking the rapids of the rainforest’s river. Pricing for the Billabong Suites is $998 per night ($878 for 3 or more nights) and are inclusive of full gourmet breakfast, mini bar and guided rainforest walks. Riverhouses cost $798 per night and Deluxe Treehouses $598 per night.
Silky Oaks Lodge is situated 1 hour north of Cairns and 15 minutes from Port Douglas.
