Bloomfield Lodge represents superb value for money. Guest feedback urges a minimum stay of 4-5 nights is necessary to avoid missing out on the many unique activities that are part of the Bloomfield Lodge experience. The friendly warmth, courtesy and thoughtfulness of our staff, with attentive yet unobtrusive service, will guarantee you a comfortable and relaxing stay. Nowhere else in the world do two World Heritage sites sit side by side; with the Daintree Rainforest right outside your door, and the wonder of the Great Barrier Reef just across the bay.

Getting to Bloomfield Lodge
Awaken your spirit of adventure on a spectacular flight over the Coral Sea to the heart of the rainforest and the enchanting seclusion of Bloomfield Lodge. From the peaceful surrounds of the VIP lounge in Cairns, board your privately chartered plane for the scenic flight to Bloomfield Lodge.
Transfer Timings - Flights normally depart for Bloomfield Lodge at 09.00 and return to Cairns by 11.00. It is recommended you stay in Cairns the night before your Bloomfield Lodge stay. Exact timings of your courtesy car collection will be confirmed by fax to your hotel the night before your transfer to Bloomfield Lodge.
Flying up the dazzling Queensland coastline, glimpse tiny deserted islands, the pristine white sails of the occasional yacht and a kaleidoscope of aquamarine along the fringing coral reefs. Before long, the vast tropical lushness of the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest unfolds below, and with a short outback drive and a gentle cruise downriver and across Weary Bay, you are welcomed into the soothing oasis that is Bloomfield Lodge.
Baggage - Due to aircraft size, baggage is restricted to one small bag per person of 7kg. The informal dress code at Bloomfield Lodge means that travelling light does not normally cause any inconvenience. If returning to the same hotel in Cairns you should arrange to leave your main baggage with the concierge if possible; after your stay, if returning to a different Cairns hotel or travelling onwards your main baggage may be stored at the Hinterland Aviation terminal in Cairns. Please ensure that you bring all items of a personal nature with you as lack of road access to the lodge means that regular supplies other than food and drink are restricted.
