Southern Ocean Lodge

Karatta, Australia

BeachSea Views

On Kangaroo Island’s south-west coast, Southern Ocean Lodge occupies limestone clifftops above the Southern Ocean, with 25 guest suites arranged along the coastline. Its rebuilt lodge pairs curved contemporary architecture and a glass-fronted Great Room with views across rugged coastal wilderness. The experience is shaped by the exposed ocean setting and access to the island’s wildlife and landscapes. The original lodge was rebuilt after the 2020 bushfires and reopened in December 2023.

Orpheus Island Lodge

Orpheus Island, Australia

Jungle14 roomsSea Views

On Orpheus Island in the Palm Island Archipelago, north of Townsville, this 14-unit lodge sits within an island national-park setting bordered by fringing reef and Coral Sea beaches. Its 28-guest scale keeps the stay focused on the island itself: beachfront accommodation, reef access from shore, and daily marine and island experiences. Meals are served at the lodge, with the coastline and protected waters shaping the days more than any mainland-town itinerary.

Silky Oaks Lodge

Finlayvale, Australia

Jungle40 roomsSpa

On 32 hectares of Daintree rainforest above the Mossman River, Silky Oaks Lodge is a 40-suite retreat arranged as elevated treehouses rather than a conventional hotel block. Verandahs and hammocks open each suite toward the canopy, with views of either rainforest or river. The design reworks the Queenslander in a contemporary idiom, while the main lodge, Treehouse Restaurant and Healing Waters Spa keep dining and wellness within the forest setting.
