Morris Escapes

OUR HISTORY

With Orpheus Island Lodge attracting a new kind of visitor to the region, the seed was sown for a collection of luxury lodges showcasing the best of Queensland. 

Mt Mulligan Lodge was built and officially joined the stable in 2019, with Beechmont Estate following suit in 2022, and the newest addition in 2023, Pelorus Private Island rounding off Morris Escapes’ iconic celebration of reef, outback, and hinterland.

OUR HISTORY

When Morris Group founder, Chris Morris, acquired Orpheus Island in 2011 it was the beginning of his love affair with the undeniable magic of tropical North Queensland.

Ardo & The Ville

Our sister properties are both located in Townsville and offer guests to Orpheus Island the perfect pre- or post-stay destination.

Our newest hotel, Ardo, is the epitome of North Queensland luxury on the edge of the Coral Sea offering world-class dining and breathtaking views.

Located next door, The Ville Resort – Casino offers guests an exciting range of restaurants, bars and entertainment.
