Relaxing, romantic and serene
15 December 2018We stayed at Crystal Creek for 3 nights on our honeymoon in the [Luxury] Mountain View Lodge. We loved this place so much, it was the most perfect relaxation break. The lodge has floor to ceiling windows facing the mountains, creating the most beautiful setting. It’s perfect for a romantic break, with a fireplace and hot jacuzzi and an outdoor plunge pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even picking us up from our car, as it rained heavily, so our sedan was unable to cross the river roads. We did a rainforest walk on one of the days, which allowed us to see the beautiful nature walks. We will definitely return to this place, it is the ultimate relaxation destination, in the most beautiful rainforest I’ve seen.
A diamond in the forest
15 November 2018We stayed in the luxury rainforest lodge. When you arrive at the property, the drive up to reception is quite long, you drive past all of the cabins on your way to reception. When you arrive at the end of the driveway, park on your left and the reception building is opposite the undercover parking (I mention this as signage isn’t billboard like). That said, limited signage is ok, as you are in a rainforest not on a strip in vegas. The reception area may be unattended, but you just need to press the button to have someone come to you. The games room in the main lobby is a great idea, and it has a coffee machine as well. The cabin was a home away from home, masterful architecture and spotless on the inside. Just check out my photos – simply incredible. You order your food when you book, and it is a homely meal. Very tasty and hits the spot so you can sit back, relax and enjoy everything about the cabin and rainforest. When you go for a walk around the rainforest, do go to reception first and spray yourself with insect repellent. It can get quite humid on the walk, but take a dip in the creek to cool off (take a towel). This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at.
Amazing Couples Getaway
22 October 2018If you are looking for an amazing getaway, Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat is simply the best. Great place to relax & reconnect. We both just loved our entire stay. Meal baskets are very nice and easy to prepare at your own time. Private and secluded Villas that look out through wall to ceiling glass. Private infinity swimming pool, and outdoor deck. BBQ for cooking outdoors. Internet and phone reception can be limited, which I think was an advantage to hang out and focus on each other.
A true piece of heaven
14 October 2018I have been fortunate enough to stay in some really very lovely hotels, but Crystal Creek has just taken the top spot for best place I have ever stayed!
We had a Mountain View villa with private pool, Tamborine Lodge. The pictures do not do it justice. It has been extremely well thought through and has been finished to an exemplary standard.
Sadly the weather was awful during our stay, being unseasonably cold and heavy rain, so we didn’t even venture out of our oasis of luxury! We bought supplies from the local town (about 25min drive away), watched a film on the HUGE TV, borrowing from massive DVD library, and snuggled up with a log fire. This place is expensive, yes, but oh so very, very worth it. I would not hesitate to recommend it. It truly is heaven on earth!
Breathtaking
9 October 2018This place exceeded all expectations. Totally private, peaceful and secluded amongst the most tranquil setting. From the minute you arrive the serenity begins. Our mountain view lodge was outstanding. Check in was faultless and getting to our villa was simple and effortless. On walking in we were gobsmacked at the luxury on show. From the kitchen to the bathroom the views are fantastic. Looking out to the private plunge pool with a perfect backdrop was just perfect. We decided to take all our own food and cater for ourselves. So glad we did this as it added to the privacy and we could work on our own timeline. The private spa bath was essential and we can not fault a thing. We did the lookout hike, which we loved, but used the rest of our time to relax and rejuvenate. Already dreaming about going back.
Beautiful romantic getaway
1 October 2018Perfect for a couple of days away from the cities, amazing view from the room and big spa bath with a 180˚ view of the rainforest, very private rooms. Nice walking tracks easy to reach from your chalet. Nice service but no restaurant or bars around.
