Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat
https://www.ccrr.com.au/
Our romantic hideaway resort is nestled amongst 250 acres of pristine rainforest within the beautiful Northern Rivers of NSW, just 50 minutes from the Gold Coast airport.
Each spacious villa provides the perfect setting for a romantic escape, equipped with cosy lounges and log fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, comfy bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and large couples’ spa baths. All accommodation has fitted kitchens, with outdoor Weber BBQs, and both internal and external dining areas. Our expansive Luxury Mountain View Lodges offer large decks with private plunge pools.
The retreat hosts 8km of picturesque rainforest hiking trails, home to many rare and endangered plants and animal species, including 400 types of flora. Secluded rock pools and hammocks are nestled along our creek where you can while away the day listening to the songs, twitters and calls from a myriad variety of our 150 species of resident birds.
Allow our spa therapists to pamper you with a deep tissue massage, then retire to your own secluded spot for a peaceful picnic.
End an enjoyable day in the relaxed ambience of our wine bar and lounge as the sun sets over Springbrook Mountain.
The 13 luxurious villas and lodges are individually positioned throughout the private estate, carefully hidden amongst the contours, offering incredible rainforest and mountain views, and providing the utmost in privacy and seclusion.
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 fully heated plunge pools with wet edges on three sides. In winter you can indulge in the cosy warmth of the double-sided fire inside.
The modern energy efficiency technology in the Lodges makes your stay extremely comfortable while being environmentally conscious. In addition to the thoroughly insulated walls and ceiling, the superior insulation properties of the floor-to-ceiling ‘Comfort Plus’ glass very effectively keep the heat in during winter and out in summer.
