This 50 m² haven features luxurious king (or twin) beds and an open-plan lounge flowing effortlessly onto a balcony adorned with the lodge’s signature hammock. Floor-to-ceiling glass invites verdant treetop views indoors, while just steps away lies a private deck with a decadent stone bathtub and open-air shower—perfect for a twilight soak under the rainforest canopy. The seamless blend of contemporary comfort and elemental immersion creates a sanctuary that invites you to breathe deeply, unwind, and reconnect with the ancient beauty of the forest.
Meals
Each day on retreat is punctuated with delicious meals in the Treehouse Restaurant, an open-plan dining haven nestled in the rainforest canopy. Guests enjoy flavourful, produce led menus inspired by the seasons, with fresh greens and native ingredients harvested straight from the lush onsite kitchen garden. As you dine, sweeping views of the rainforest unfold before you, accompanied by the soothing soundtrack of forest birdsong and the gentle flow of the Mossman River below, a feast for all the senses.
Experiences
This retreat blends Qi Gong, yoga, breathwork, meditation, and heartfelt shared experiences to nurture wellbeing and foster genuine connection. Highlights include a rainforest bathing walk at Mossman Gorge and a Daintree River wildlife cruise, with time to personalise your journey through optional spa treatments, tarot readings, PSYCH-K® sessions, or a trip to Port Douglas.
Between sessions, the Daintree invites unhurried exploration, swim in the crystal-clear Mossman River, explore on complimentary e-bikes, or wander the lodge’s serene Fig Tree Rapids walking track for moments of awe, presence, and deep connection with nature.
