## Immerse Yourself in Luxury at Silky Oaks Lodge, Daintree Rainforest
Silky Oaks Lodge presents an unparalleled opportunity to experience the magic of the Daintree Rainforest, a place where the ancient embrace of Australia’s oldest living rainforest meets the vibrant underwater world of the UNESCO-listed Great Barrier Reef.

Indulge in the luxury of bathrooms featuring private open-air bathtubs, allowing you to soak in the sights and sounds of the rainforest while you unwind. Each suite boasts verandas that open directly into the Daintree Rainforest, inviting the beauty of nature to become part of your stay. And of course, each suite is equipped with the quintessential tropical accessory: a hammock, the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate during the day or to lose yourself in the starlit nights.
Culinary adventures await at Silky Oaks Lodge, where you’ll discover an authentic gastronomic experience that celebrates local flavors and First Nations ingredients.

When is the best time to visit?
There's no bad time to visit Australia, though there are a few tips to keep in mind. Much of Australia runs hot, especially in the north—places like Uluru, Darwin, and Cairns are best visited in the Southern Hemisphere winter (June, July, August). The opposite applies for southern regions like Tasmania and Victoria, which can get particularly cold in winter—January and February are the most pleasant times to visit.
Interested in the Great Barrier Reef? You'll have warm temps all year, though spring and summer bring stifling temps and lots of warm tropical rain. The famous Gold Coast is the country's Goldilocks region, with lovely weather throughout the year it's known for having beautiful weather most of the year. And given Sydney's southern latitude, glittering beaches are best visited in the warm summer months.
Where should you go?
Ask an Australian, and they'll tell you that picking a favorite place in their vast homeland feels as impossible as choosing a favorite child. That said, travelers can't go wrong with Uluru (the stunning sandstone monolith in the Northern Territory), Cairns and the renowned Great Barrier Reef, and the famous sights of metropolitan Sydney. Head to the Gold Coast for beach time, Melbourne for culture, Kangaroo Island for wildlife, and Broome to visit the fascinating Horizontal Falls, a series of tidal waterfalls in Talbot Bay considered a natural wonder.
How many days do I need?
Since reaching this part of the world requires long flights across multiple time zones for most travelers, it's best to make the most of your journey with at least one week in-country. The more time you can give it, the more relaxed and satisfying the trip will be. A great 10-day itinerary might start with three days in Sydney before heading to Uluru, Darwin and Kakadu National Park, and Cairns for a few days each.
Have two weeks at your disposal? Even better. Consider flying into Melbourne, spending two days on Kangaroo Island, taking the Ghan Train from Adelaide to Alice Springs, and finishing with two nights each in Uluru, Darwin, and Cairns.
If you're combining Australia with another nearby destination like New Zealand or Indonesia, a 5-7 day trip is doable—you'll probably want to stick to exploring one city and taking a couple of day trips from there.
