Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat

Upper Crystal Creek

Just home from staying there for our 38th Wedding Anniversary. Wow! Truly humbling rainforest nature experience. Enough to bring you to tears. Please do yourself and loved ones a favour and go!!! We bought some of the breakfast and dinner hamper packages. Amazing food with big serves. Upgrading the games room soon too apparently. Hope to be back again in the future!!!

Amazing Rainforest Retreat

We visited CCRR recently to celebrate a birthday.
We were lucky to stay in Cedar Lodge, which is nestled into a rainforest clearing complete with heated plunge pool, fireplace and views to a misty Mt Springbrook.
It was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained and decorated complete with a cloud -like bed.
There were so many thoughtful touches- champagne, chocolates, candles, binoculars, original art, well appointed kitchen and bathroom.
Where else can you lie in bed with binoculars and birdwatch (tiny kingfishers, wrens and  Black cockatoos among many others)?
CCRR has struck the perfect balance -  you feel as though you are far from the city in the middle of the rainforest yet with all the creature comforts and  little luxuries you could want.
If you can tear yourselves away from your accomodation, the entire property and facilities are gorgeous and  beautifully maintained. Great walking trails, orchard, games room and electric bikes to use.
A highlight for us was the short night walk to see the Glow worms and glowing fungi along the creek bank - magic!
Management were lovely, warm and welcoming.
We are already planning our next stay.
If you are after wildlife, rest, comfort, peace and privacy this is your place.

Slice of heaven - glow worms, frogs, birdlife

A fantastic getaway location where it was possible to just switch off and unwind. Rooms were all larger than expected. We got the make your own meal packages included which was brilliant. The meal portions were huge, easy to make and delicious. We will definitely be back again.

Unwind and Relax

Highly, highly, highly recommended - beautiful surrounds - amazing modern accommodation - wonderful staff -  fabulous hosts - fantastic views -  this place is a spot of paradise in Australia for relaxation &  refreshing the mind, body & soul

Magical experience

This has to be one of the best if not “the best” places I’ve stayed and so far I’ve only been here one night. On arrival there were candles and rose petals. We optioned dinner and breakfast the food so far has been amazing! The fridge was stocked with extras milk juice butter etc. The owner greets you at the start runs through everything and gives you a buggy ride to your retreat. We then had a fire and watched a movie and had a bath. The bath is to die for the view, the water can be as hot as you want unlike some hotels it only goes Luke warm. The fireplace comes stocked with loads of wood we had it running for the afternoon and didn’t even need to use the aircon for bed lastnight as the whole place was warm and cosy. The bed was so comfortable with amazing sheets, so I slept as well as I do at home (well better). Today we have a massage booked we are also going on a hike and to see the glow worms at night and probably watch another movie. If you need to relax this is the place to come.

If you need to relax this is 1000% the place to come!! Comfortable bed, deep spa, warm fire place, beautiful food!

The most amazing, relaxing, romantic getaway I have ever experienced. Everything has been thought of from food delivery and popped in the fridge to picnics and thru to privacy where you can see nothing but mountains and valleys from your private pool or spa!. The staff are very helpful and lovely. The fresh water creek with the ponds and hammocks were beautiful.
This place is very special and has a very strong spiritual atmosphere being so close to the mountains tops and all the wide life.

Romantic scenic retreat 

Fabulous location right in the mountain foothills and nestled into the rainforest but the villas themselves are just an architectural delight. Open plan with huge glass walls to take in the view. there are 13 villas but they are all cleverly positioned  so that you don't see (or hear) anyone else. It felt incredibly private. We slept with the blinds up and woke up to beautiful sunrises each morning.
Staff are friendly, unobtrusive and happy to provide helpful advice.  
the walks through the rainforest are tough but well worth it. Also plenty to see and do in the local area.
I don't think we've ever found a more enjoyable more relaxing place to stay. Highly recommended

just a fabulous place to stay

What more can I say than wow.

Absolutely breathtaking location and the facilities here are 10/10. I am so appreciative of all the work that has gone into making this retreat what it is today.

We stayed in the lamington lodge and everything about our room was incredible.

The most luxurious, private escape we could have asked for our honeymoon. We definitely will come back again one day.

Incredible hideaway retreat

What a lovely place as soon as you drive in the stress of life fades away, we stayed for a couple of nights in glass terrace bungalow we also added to our stay pre made meals  which we found over priced for the the small portion given, we also found that the bungee was not cleaned properly which was disappointing.

Peaceful

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights on the way home from our wedding. 
Our stay was nothing short of amazing!! 
From the drive in we were blown away, the tranquil ambiance of the property was amazing! We literally didn’t see another guest during our stay and this added to peaceful private feeling of the place.

We stayed in the Pandorea Glass Terrace Bungalow. It was so good that it had its own private parking, it made it so easy with luggage.  

The Bungalow was spotlessly clean and spacious and definitely had a luxury feel. The small extras really stood out to us, like the candle to take home, the slippers and robes, the tea light candles everywhere, the complementary chocolates, bottle of wine and welcome card upon arrival all contributed to the 5 star feel. The outdoor shower, the spa and double fire place we’re highlights while all of the glass windows made us feel like we were in the rainforest!! 

We ordered food hampers and would highly recommend everyone do this, there was so much food! The dinner hampers come with instructions on how to reheat or cook which we followed to a T and turned out perfectly, the Spanish lamb and the Seafood upgrade were both delicious! 

We did all of the walks on the property during our stay, we do a lot of walking. These were beautiful and so tranquil. I particularly loved the walk that went around the creek, it’s like fairyland! The lookout walk had a lot of steps anyone doing this walk definitely take a walking pole (which is provided) as it definitely helped on the way back down and probably is not for the fainthearted. After the walks we swam in creek which was refreshing and revitalising!! Using Hammocks over the creek was so tranquil and meditative and my favourite part of the stay! Definitely a little slice of Heaven 💙
