Northern Escape Collection

The Northern Escape Collection is a curated portfolio of boutique sustainable lodges and experiences that celebrate Queensland’s diverse natural beauty.

Inspiring authentic experiences and lasting memories, discover luxury island hideaways on the Great Barrier Reef (Orpheus Island Lodge and Pelorus Private Island), invoke the spirit of adventure in the outback (Mt Mulligan Lodge), and succumb to country elegance in the Scenic Rim (Beechmont Estate).

A private helicopter charter service (Nautilus Aviation) provides unrivalled transfers in Northern Australia and a fleet of outstanding superyachts (Morris Nautical) offer privately chartered Great Barrier Reef exploration.

The Northern Escape Collection was crafted by Australian family business, the Morris Group, with the goal of allowing travellers to experience Northern Australia in its purest form and to contribute to sustainable economies in the region.
