Luxury Mountain View Lodge-Numinbah

Higher in the Retreat, each Luxury Mountain View Lodge presents a breathtaking aspect to the surrounding landscape, magically combining lofty mountain ridges on high with tropical valleys of genuine old-growth rainforest and stoic trees that have stood for centuries. The beginning and close of each day are imbued with the epic, aeons-old mystery of an ancient forest setting.

Including the deck, the floor space of the architect-designed open plan is over 150 square metres. A cosy, romantic double-sided fireplace screens the bedroom from the generous living area, with a big clear skylight (with block-out blind) above the bed for stargazing. Reverse-cycle air conditioning keeps you comfortable all year round. A walk-in wardrobe provides generous space for suitcases and the like. In the bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows integrate the stunning beauty of the rainforest with the indulgence of the luxury double solid marble bath or freestanding spa bath. Recycled French oak floorboards add a glamorous patina throughout.

The private decks on these Lodges incorporate a stainless-steel roasting barbecue and plunge pools with wet edges on three sides. When the sun is shining the solar-heated pool will be warm for all but the four coldest months of the year. In winter you can indulge in the cosy warmth of the double-sided fire inside.

This lodge offers its guests barbecue grills and a water dispenser. The front desk is open around the clock.

Smoking is allowed in designated areas at this Upper Crystal Creek lodge.
