Bloomfield, Australia

Tucked in delightful seclusion between the rainforest and the Coral Sea mid-way between Port Douglas and Cooktown, getting to this enchanting hideaway is all part of the experience. The magical journey begins with a spectacular 25 minute flight along the coast from Cairns, followed by a 10 minute 4WD transfer and a 15 minute boat ride across Weary Bay.

Colonial style elegance prevails in the 16 rooms – each of which boast a verandah with stunning views of the rainforest or the bay. A guided rainforest walk and a cruise on the beautiful Bloomfield River are included in your stay, and there are several marked walking trails around the lodge for you to explore at leisure. Other trips can be arranged (at an additional cost) including a visit to the old pioneer town of Cooktown, a 4WD trip to the magnificent Bloomfield Falls and a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef aboard the 18 metre sailing yacht, ‘Big Mama’.

Otherwise, relax by the freshwater pool, fish from the jetty, stroll along a nearby deserted beach or indulge in a relaxing spa treatment. All meals are included – using fresh local produce and served either in the wonderful al fresco dining room in the form of a relaxed dinner party or privately on the pool deck. A 3 night minimum stay applies, but 4 or 5 nights is recommended.
