Perfect Romantic Getaway
16 August 2018We stayed just 2 nights in the Lamington Mountain View Lodge last week. Exactly what we needed, a relaxing romantic getaway in a beautiful location. The lodge was very modern, clean and well appointed. All the staff we interacted with with friendly and never imposing. The dinner and breakfast we had were also fantastic. We live on the Gold Coast, and hope to visit again.
Amazing couple of nights away
12 August 2018We stayed in the Mountain Lodge and it was so modern, clean and comfortable. The food was also so delish !! You can relax or go for a wonderful adventure around the walking tracks !! We will be back ❤️
Private and relaxing get-away
12 August 2018We stayed in a glass terrace bungalow and it was lovely. Very clean and simple, yet comfortable and luxurious. Beautiful bathroom with heated floor and great view from the spa bath to the outdoor shower area. We played scrabble on the deck, listening to the whip birds and watching the bush turkeys scramble about below. The dinners delivered were really good, especially the Massaman Curry. Breakfasts yummy too and we used the Nespresso machine each day. Lots of good videos. We did the rainforest walk, too – steep but enjoyable.
Absolutely stunning
9 August 2018Every little detail… the food, the welcome wine, the location, the staff… Will definitely come back.
Our hearts are full
31 July 2018What a magical, peaceful and serene retreat. Perfect for celebrating our 6th year in love and life together. Thank you Crystal Creek Retreat for creating such a place. Our heads are clear, our hearts are full and our minds have been free to wonder in awe.
Get booking!
22 July 2018The fittings and technology are all top of the line and make the stay that much better to enjoy. Binoculars supplied in the lodges are nothing short of spectacular to view the wildlife and scenery. The sound system is Denon and pumps whatever tunes you bring. Stop wasting time reading about this place and get booking!
Wish we could have stayed longer
15 July 2018We stayed for 2 nights in Quandong. This place is amazing! The food was absolutely delicious. The room was so cosy and relaxing. The only bad part of our time here was having to leave. Wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back.
Beautiful, private holiday
6 July 2018Modern, luxurious, clean and practical accomodation. We stayed in the newly constructed mountain lodge and would highly recommend. Lots of space, beautiful view and modern decor. Fireplace was amazing. Dinner meals were delicious and there was more than plenty. Breakfast was basic but we were full from dinner so didn’t really mind. Rainforest walk is peaceful but does have a very steep incline. Be mindful of leaches, spray your shoes! The DVD collection is well worth a look. Couple massage was awesome and very relaxing. Really enjoyed this whole experience. We didn’t see one person except when we were checking in. Definitely worth the visit here. Thank you!
Pure Excellence
29 June 2018Not sure what we can say that hasn’t already been said in other rave reviews. This place is absolutely spectacular in every way. We’ve stayed on two occasions, firstly in the Mountain View and then in the Glass Terrace. Just gorgeous! Private, romantic, and very picturesque. Food packages are glorious too. Just perfect.
Sad to leave such a lovely place
24 June 2018This was our first stay here and we were extremely impressed by the whole atmosphere here. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the additional facilities were fabulous. The lodge itself was absolutely breathtaking and we couldn’t get over what amazing views and architecture the lodge had. We loved all the wood! So many great options for the walks and even the orchard picnic area. Was a lovely and quiet and we had a great time relaxing in the hammocks. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time for sure. Was sad to leave such a lovely place.
Honeymoon
13 June 2018I wish I could rate this place higher than the top rating. It’s in a category of its own. We stayed in the Lamington Lodge in March 2018 and I have not stopped thinking about it. It was the perfect place for a honeymoon and I loved every part of what they had to offer. We had planned on going out a little, but those plans changed after we settled in. The accommodation and the hampers were beyond gorgeous. The only down side was that the infinity edge [pool] was not working properly and we thought it was not on because of the overcast skies (solar), so we didn’t mention anything about it until toward the end of our stay. It actually works fine on cloudy days and the pump just needed to be reset. If you think something is not quite right do not be afraid to speak up. The staff were so quick to respond and so helpful when we did say something. This place is world-class… when I want a good holiday I don’t think about going back to Thailand anymore. I think about this place!
Peace and serenity to die for
13 June 2018To all who had an involvement in our stay: Thank you one and all! The accommodation was superb, the food and manner in which it was presented was new to us and suited us to a tee. The quality was excellent! The accommodation is beautiful, the vista is breathtaking. The peace and serenity to die for. We shall sing your praises to the highest.
Thanks so much for a sublime weekend!
20 May 2018We just spent the weekend in the Kamala bungalow, one of the Rainforest Canopy bungalows, and the setting was just magic. So secluded, if you didn’t leave the bungalow you wouldn’t know there were any others there and chances are, when you did leave your bungalow you wouldn’t see anyone anyway. We loved our bungalow, the view of Springbrook Mountain was awesome and the spa bath in our bungalow was just amazing, sunken into the floor and surrounded on three sides by glass so you looked straight out into the rainforest. We got up early on both mornings and did the Lookout Walk and then the Boundary Walk, great exercise and so beautiful walking through the rainforest. The view from the Lookout is awesome, looking right over the Tweed Valley to the ocean. Each night we would wander down to the creek and lay in the hammocks in the dark looking at the glow worms on the banks lining the creek. Just magical! We also had a visitor one day, a big monitor wandered out of the bush, it would have been 5 foot long, head to tail. Then a few hours later a smaller one was there as well. Amazing! I can’t recommend this place enough, it is just such a perfect place to relax and get away from everyone and everything, and just enjoy utter peace and quiet and the sounds of birds. It was so sad to have to leave but we are so grateful to have experienced it. We will be back!! Thanks so much CCRR for a sublime weekend!
