June 29, 2011 - Bloomfield Lodge in Tropical North Queensland, Australia has been awarded the prestigious TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in recognition of its consistently high standards.

TripAdvisor is the world's largest travel community website and a trusted travel planning tool which provides feedback from real travellers on accommodation options across the globe. It attracts approximately 40 million unique visitors each month.

Recipients of the 2011 Certificate of Excellence are accommodation providers who have successfully maintained an average rating of four or higher out of a possible five, as reviewed by travellers on TripAdvisor. Additional criteria in the selection of recipients include the volume of reviews and how recently they have been submitted by TripAdvisor travellers.

Bloomfield Lodge is an exclusive luxury retreat set at the most northern tip of the world heritage listed Daintree Rainforest where it meets the magical Great Barrier Reef.

Access to the boutique lodge requires a 45 minute private charter flight from Cairns landing at the grassy airstrip adjoining picturesque Mt Louis Station, where guests then enjoy a scenic drive through lush rural lands dwarfed by towering hinterland ranges before reaching the Bloomfield River where guests board a boat and embark on a breathtaking cruise, across the turquoise waters of Weary Bay to the welcoming smiles of Bloomfield staff at the lodge's beachfront entrance.

Bloomfield Lodge Managers Ben and Courtenay Morley said all involved in the property were dedicated to providing a superior Australian holiday experience and were delighted to receive the TripAdvisor accolade.

With a capacity of just 36 guests at any one time, Bloomfield Lodge is an idyllic piece of tropical paradise. It indulges both body and soul, with no compromise on life's little luxuries. For those seeking solitude, relaxation and rejuvenation Bloomfield is the pinnacle in luxury lodging.

The 17 individual natural timber rooms are beautifully appointed and have been thoughtfully constructed in private rainforest settings to ensure the guest experience is peaceful.

Each room features en-suite facilities and large picture windows capturing stunning ocean views, and large balconies perfect for those long restful days spent reading on the comfy daybeds whilst glancing up occasionally to catch the brilliant blue flicker of the Ulysses butterflies who call Bloomfield home.

Bloomfield offers a range of activities including, rainforest walks, river cruises, boating and snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef (with the option of a gourmet picnic lunch on Hope Island), fishing, and relaxing spa treatments including massage and beauty therapies. Further afield the lodge hosts day tours to Cooktown, Cedar Bay National Park and can also arrange interpretive Indigenous tours of Bloomfield Falls.

The remote location means there is no mobile reception or internet access at the property. It really is the perfect place to “switch off” quite literally and enjoy a luxurious holiday experience in an unspoilt wilderness.

Part of Bloomfield's appeal is its mouth-watering selection of freshly prepared meals which are unarguably beyond extraordinary. With the use of quality produce (including local seafood) and immaculate presentation, the meals are a highlight of the guest experience. Served in a lush tropical alfresco setting, there is also the option for romantics to take advantage of private dining in one of the beautiful timber gazebos.

All inclusive 4 night packages at Bloomfield Lodge start from as little as $1,520* per person twin share. All meals, guided rainforest walk, guided river cruise, accommodation, courtesy car from and to the guest hotel in Cairns, return scenic flight, private bus/4wd and boat transfers to and from Bloomfield Lodge, some lodge based activities, tea and coffee available 24 hours, and guest laundry are all included in the package. * Subject to availability.
