Two Luxury Lodges of Australia, one unforgettable journey. The Reef and Outback Experience invites you to slow down and immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Queensland’s most extraordinary destinations—Mt Mulligan Lodge and Orpheus Island Lodge. Both are proud members of the esteemed Luxury Lodges of Australia collection, offering deeply immersive stays in some of the country’s most breathtaking natural environments.
Where time slows: Mt Mulligan Lodge
Tucked beneath the towering sandstone escarpments of Ngarrabullgan (Mount Mulligan) in Tropical North Queensland, Mt Mulligan Lodge is a soulful escape into the Australian outback. Here, luxury takes on a rugged edge, wrapped in comfort and connection to country. With a rich gold and coal mining history and rugged landscape, Mt Mulligan Lodge offers guests a rare sense of grounding. Whether it’s exploring the dramatic scenery on an ATV adventure, casting a line into a eucalyptus-fringed weir, or sipping sundowners with uninterrupted views of the glowing escarpment, every experience feels intentional and unhurried.
On island time: Orpheus Island Lodge
After dusty boots comes sandy toes. Landing you on Orpheus Island Lodge, all-inclusive private island retreat on the Great Barrier Reef. Surrounded by coral gardens and crystal-clear waters, Orpheus is a sanctuary for the senses. Here, you’ll kayak over turquoise bays, snorkel vibrant coral just steps from shore, and indulge in ocean-to-plate dining under a sky full of stars. The experience is intimate—only 28 guests share the island at any one time—and entirely curated to your pace.
