Are you looking for a dining experience with a difference?
Named after our world-renowned Executive Chef Herbert Gertzer (yes, the same fellow who has his own vege patch onsite!) - the new Shack provides an alternative dining option at Thala.
Guests can enjoy a picnic-style experience for lunch or whilst relaxing as they watch the different colours of a spectacular Coral Sea sunset, right from the shores of Oak Beach.
There is something truly breathtaking when at one with nature...
Stay tuned for more options at Herbie's Beach Shack in coming months!

Only a handful of luxury accommodation experiences in Australia have carefully crafted their natural balance to a level that deserves the ‘Advanced Eco Tourism’ certification. Thala Beach Lodge in tropical North Queensland is now one of them. It has achieved the highest available level in the International Ecotourism Accreditation Program.
Thala has taken great pains to tread lightly on its surrounding habitats, forests and beach frontage near Port Douglas. The private beach is untouched and Thala’s magnificent 145 acre peninsular has six different habitats concentrated into this small area.
Ancient littoral rainforest, casuarinas and mangroves lap the beach, while dry eucalypt woodland, gallery forest and coconuts occupy the higher ground and inland creeks. Each habitat attracts its own unique species of flora and fauna, and Thala rests in between. Wildlife populations from birds to lizards to native wallabies have flourished in abundance.
The extensive accreditation process Thala has gone through covers everything from responsible marketing and blanket environmental sustainability through to education, working with local tribes who visit the site, and beyond.
Thala Beach Lodge employs wildlife specialists who are on hand to guide and amaze guests in the forests, beaches and rocky headland. This is done in a personalised, quiet and unregimented fashion. Guests can enjoy the thrill of making their very own discoveries. They might see rare Snub-finned Dolphins, followed soon afterwards by a resident Osprey diving for fish to feed her chicks. Then, when delicately treading along sandy paths through the magnificent rainforest, encounter many species of tropical birds and butterflies.
Visits from Elders of the Kuku-Yalanji Tribe bring the spirit of Thala to life…’ Thala invites the elders of the KuKu – Yalanji community to take guests through the journey of their culture. From healing plants to bush food the elders bring in leaves and seeds for guests to handle, learn their history and relevant importance to their community.
Thala provides the perfect location for a romantic and very special getaway to view further details on this luxury haven please click here
