Bloomfield Lodge
Nestled in the waters of Queensland, Australia, is a beautiful island, home to the incredible Bloomfield Lodge — and it’s officially up for sale.
Bloomfield Lodge is a North Queensland property located between the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, with views that are as spectacular as they sound. The world-class resort is surrounded by rainforest and coastlines, offering the ultimate trip to paradise.
From walks to Kangaji Beach to boat rides in Weary Bay, activities available to residents of the lodge are seemingly endless.
To reach Bloomfield Lodge, visitors can arrive via the private pier, personal helicopter pad, or exclusive-use airport, landing in an astonishingly remote paradise. Built within the island’s rainforest are private guest suites and luxury accommodations. With more than 7 acres of natural island beauty and 2,000 feet of oceanfront, this piece of Australian land is nothing short of a dream island vacation.
Bloomfield Lodge is the work of Mike Gooley, a founder of his own travel company, who poured nearly 2o million Australian dollars into the project. He built an outstanding retreat with top-of-the-line accommodations set on the backdrop of unmatched natural beauty. Gooley purchased the lodge nearly 30 years ago, and it then spent decades operating under the “Small Luxury Hotels of the World” banner.
Because of the wonderful location, vacations to the lodge allow for snorkeling, waterfall sightseeing, and game fishing. Visitors get the luxury of both a high-quality lodge and the freedom to explore the surrounding nature.
A destination popular among both local Australians and international travelers, the lodge was once named “World’s Best Remote Hotel” by Forbes Magazine. Though the lodge ceased its official operations five years ago, a full-time staff has remained, keeping the lodge in excellent condition.
The lodge itself is made up of 18 guest suites, scattered among the rainforest and connected via walking trails, a bridge, and a boardwalk. There are also entertainment facilities including a game room, a spa, a swimming pool, and a fitness center. A restaurant and bar offer both dine-in opportunities as well as catering.
Purchase of the property includes not just the lodge’s suites and accommodations but also the marina pier, paved landing runway and airport terminal, and helipad.
Marketed by Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty, the property has a listing price of $16 million AUD, or $12,584,552 American dollars. The next owner has the opportunity to either reopen the lodge or treat it as their own special getaway.
