Your romantic escape begins with a combination of Australia’s best boutique hotel experience with Australia’s best food & wine experience: the Lake House.  Renowned throughout Australia and around the world, the Lake House is luxury retreat in the ‘spa country’ just outside Melbourne.  Indulge in the Salus Day Spa, dine in one of Australia’s finest restaurants and enjoy the beautiful gardens, waterfalls and walking tracks of the surrounding countryside.

On day four its time to move from Australia’s best boutique hotel, to one of Australia’s finest island retreats: Lizard Island. Located right on the spectacular Great Barrier Reef and fringed with colorful coral reefs and 24 powdery white beaches, Lizard Island is a one of a kind tranquil escape.  There are an endless number of indulgences to enjoy here. Take a gourmet picnic hamper with you to your own secluded, private beach. Sensational diving, snorkeling, bushwalking, sailing, glass bottom boat trips, and the luxurious Azure Spa are just a few of the activities waiting for you. All your meals and beverages are included here, as are your return air transfers from Cairns.  You’ll spend 4 glorious nights here before trading this serene island escape for a serene rainforest escape:  Silky Oaks Lodge and Healing Waters Spa.

Nestled in the dense tropical Daintree rainforest, Silky Oaks Lodge is the perfect base for exploring the Atherton Tablelands, Cape Tribulation and the Daintree River. You’ll spend 3 nights in this sanctuary. Your Treehouse accommodation is set into the rainforest and surrounded by lush gardens carefully designed to offer maximum privacy and comfort.  Breakfast is included here as is a full day guided eco excursion to Cape Tribulation and return transfers from Cairns.
