Queensland is finally opened its borders for the rest of Australians to enjoy our sunshine state, and in 2021 there will be some wonderful offerings to put on the list.
Silky Oaks Lodge, Cairns & Great Barrier Reef
Silky Oaks Lodge, a luxury tree-top escape has undergone a significant refurbishment and will reopen on 1 October 2021 with a refreshed vibe under the Baillie Lodge brand.

The 40 luxury villas, alongside the destination-inspired restaurant, will complement the soul and heritage of the region, ready to welcome guests back to the iconic rainforest retreat.
