Thala Beach Lodge

Port Douglas, Queensland & the Great Barrier Reef

Tucked away atop a peninsula on the northern tip of a stretch of untouched coastline, this lodge, an Audley favourite, offers seclusion at its best. The heady concoction of dense verdant bush, native wildlife and views of the sparkling Coral Sea are a tremendous combination.

Choose between rustic timber-clad tree-top cabins that share the aromatic eucalypt canopy with the birds, or the elegant bungalows where the Coral Sea fills the view - both are comfortable and spacious.

Take an exploratory bushwalk through the garden trails to learn about the native flora and fauna, or stroll along the private beachfront and enjoy a picnic in a sheltered cove, returning for a dip in one of the two fresh-water free-form swimming pools.

The open-air central lodge houses the renowned Ospreys Restaurant and the intriguingly named, yet warmly sociable Masked Plover Bar.
