Luxury Lodges

Fine hospitality, exceptional customer service and truly bespoke experiences are the hallmark of Australian luxury lodges. Located in incredibly beautiful and diverse Australian landscapes, they offer creature comforts and access to our natural attractions. Each of the lodges featured on this page is available for exclusive use, and all offer a range of tailored activities to enjoy.

An eco-retreat in the Queensland rainforest

Silky Oaks Lodge is spectacularly perched above a lagoon on the Mossman Gorge River, a one-hour drive from Cairns. Its proximity to the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest ensures you will create a truly unique program. Silky Oaks offers 40 retreats, including treehouses and suites with private balconies surrounded by rainforest and river views.

Dining is also provided among the trees, whether it’s in the Treehouse Restaurant lit by flame torches on the riverside, or with silver service in the floodlit ‘jungle perch’. Activities at this eco-friendly hideaway are custom-designed for your group; whether you choose kayaking on the river, snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, guided hiking through the rainforest or hang-gliding over the beach. For insight into the local Indigenous community, join the Kuku Yalanji Cultural Habitat Tour to Cooya Beach, where you’ll hear Dreamtime legends, collect native foods and try your hand at spear throwing.

Old-world charm in the Yarra Valley

Chateau Yering is located in the Yarra Valley, one of Australia’s premier wine regions, less than an hour’s drive from Melbourne. The 100-hectare (247-acre) property features views across the valley and its iconic vineyards, as well as 32 suites and a range of meeting spaces.

The event team’s local knowledge will mean you have a vast selection of team activities to choose from, including early-morning hot air ballooning, wine blending led by a master winemaker and tournaments on the inflatable soccer field. The team also specialises in bespoke programs, including dining options at the property’s highly awarded Eleonore’s Restaurant or at a number of five-star venues across the Yarra Valley.

Luxury camping near Uluru

Located in front of Uluru, Longitude 131° offers 16 luxury tents, each with a private view of the extraordinary sunrise. The Dune House restaurant delivers contemporary Australian dining, fusing modern and Indigenous flavours. When it comes to exploring the spectacular landscape, there are myriad options, including helicopter and aeroplane rides, hot air balloons, Harley-Davidson tours or hikes around the base of Uluru led by a local Indigenous guide.

Create unforgettable moments, such as dinner in the desert watching the colours of the sunset fade across Uluru, or listening to a local Anangu guide tell the Dreamtime story of the constellations.
