Food & Wine

The open-sided Treehouse Restaurant offers spectacular views over the Mossman Rover and rainforest and showcases a seasonal menu of the freshest local produce and fine Australian wines.

Enjoy a refreshing drink amongst the rainforest canopy at the Treehouse Bar.

When to Go

The best time to visit the Daintree Rainforest is from May to September when the weather is cooler and drier.

If you are looking to include a diving or snorkelling trip to the Great Barrier Reef, June to November generally offers good visibility. Humpback whales can be spotted from May to August and from May to July, dwarf minke whales visit the Northern Reefs.

The 'wet season' runs from December to April, with frequent, heavy downpours.

Getting There

Silky Oaks Lodge is 90 minutes by road from Cairns or 15 minutes from Port Douglas.
