THE ACCOMMODATION

King beds that convert to twins with private ensuites

Each treetop room features a king bed that can be split into two singles and its own ensuite bathroom with a shower—designed for simple, comfortable stays for two.

THE SETTING

Bushland seclusion with river glimpses

The two treetop rooms are perched away from the main lodge building in native bush, linked by a large deck between them that serves as a sun trap and a place to listen to the sounds of the river and native birds.

THE AMENITIES

Lodge access, creature comforts and upgradeable spa packages

Rooms include complimentary WiFi, tea and coffee facilities and access to lodge amenities including the guest kitchen and free on-site parking; guests can upgrade to packages that add spa and sauna use and farm-to-table meals.

What the day feels like

A calm, small-scale stay in the canopy

Treetop Guest Rooms provide a compact, restful rhythm: arrive at the lodge, park on site, and retire to a private room nestled in bush with a deck between the two rooms, king beds that can convert to twins, ensuite showers and small in-room comforts like tea and coffee and complimentary WiFi.
