About

Overview & Vibe

Flames of the Forest is set in a secluded valley of ancient Wet Tropics rainforest in the Mowbray Valley, ten minutes from Port Douglas — Australia’s only rainforest dining venue, and the largest permanent off-site event space in Tropical North Queensland.

Setting & Style

A permanent marquee structure protects the space from the weather while leaving it entirely open to the forest: an elegant black silk-lined marquee, hundreds of flames on ornate candelabras, thousands of tiny lights sparkling in the canopy, and the sound of cicadas and a rolling mountain creek underneath everything. Receptions run as stand-up cocktail gatherings, lavish banquets or a tropical-inspired three-course menu, and the venue can arrange special effects — blazing trails of fire, fireworks and other pyrotechnics. There are no noise restrictions and no curfew, no phone signal to distract anyone, and no other bookings taken alongside yours; the rainforest is yours for the evening. Transfers, menus, entertainment, AV and styling are coordinated through a network of local vendors.

Ideal For

Couples who want a reception nobody has been to before — a candlelit cathedral of trees with no curfew.
