Orpheus Island Lodge is a secluded island hideaway accommodating just 28 indulged guests at any one time. Orpheus showcases a plethora of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Its principal dive sites boast 1,100 of the 1,500 species of fish on the reef, the turquoise local waters are a fisherman’s playground and home to the most sought-after reef species in the world. Guests can take the helm of a motorised dinghy, complete with gourmet picnic hamper, and discover the many pristine private coves that fringe Orpheus or they can succumb to a unique indigenous-inspired treatment at the Gwandalan Day Spa. Not to be missed is the island’s signature ‘Dining with the Tides’ dinner experience; an intimate degustation dinner for two under a starlit canopy on the lodge’s jetty.

Set in the heart of the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest, the Daintree Ecolodge combines nature, nurture and culture in a pure rainforest environment.  Nestled amongst the foliage, the Daintree Ecolodge showcases 15 eco-friendly ‘bayans’ (treehouses) immersed in the breathtaking ancient rainforest canopy. Rise to the sound of the birds in the rainforest above, breathe-in the fresh tropical air and discover the lodge’s private onsite waterfall on a leisurely stroll through the enchanting rainforest. Escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul in a breathtaking landscape where time appears to have stood still. Use the lodge as a base to explore the Daintree region; the only place where two World Heritage sites meet (the Daintree and Great Barrier Reef)!
