Fine Dining in Australia’s Luxury Lodges

Australia's luxury lodges are exclusive by virtue of their remoteness, their special location and intimate size. However, consistent across the collection is the exceptional quality of Australian food and wine on offer as well as the unique dining experiences available to guests in search of something special.

The Treehouse Restaurant at Silky Oaks Lodge in the Daintree rainforest is one of Northern Queensland's premier dining experiences. The open-sided restaurant offers sensational rainforest and Mossman river views while the menu showcases the freshest local produce and fine Australian wines.

For a special occasion, private riverside dining is also available in a secluded setting on the Mossman River. A three-course menu with a choice of wines, the gentle glow of candlelight and the sounds of the rainforest and river will soothe the weariest traveler.

For a more informal evening, above the Mossman River with spectacular views of the Daintree Rainforest, the Jungle Perch provides a relaxed atmosphere with lounge chairs and a viewing balcony of the Mossman River and the Treehouse Bar is a welcoming and comfortable environment to swap tales with fellow adventurers.

At Qualia on Queensland’s Hamilton Island, two exclusive restaurants deliver exceptional culinary experiences to inspire the palate. Guests have the choice of fine dining at the Long Pavilion, or a more relaxed and casual experience at Pebble Beach.Both offer their own unique tasting experience with the freshest and finest cuisine, surrounded by the hypnotic rhythm of breaking waves.

The memorizing setting for dinner at the Long Pavilion is a horizon edged with island silhouettes as the sun sets casting a fiery glow across the water.Each elegantly presented dish is complemented by premium Australian and imported wines from the restaurant’s superb sommelier-compiled wine list.
