These truly eco-lodges are really beautiful, being architecturally designed to have a minimal impact on the large area of unspoilt bush surrounding them. The property is a five-minute drive from Dunkeld and the Royal Mail Hotel with its wonderful restaurant, and even less than that from the start of the very enjoyable walk up Mt Sturgeon. Wildlife, wildflowers, and birds are abundant, both on and around the property.
We stayed in a one-bedroom 'treehouse' with huge panoramic glass windows around the open plan living/dining area and bedroom, and one glass wall in the shower, looking out over the bush. Since there are only 4 lodges and they are secluded and well-spaced for privacy, we felt no need to draw the blinds at any time, preferring to luxuriate in the views. We thought our lodge was stylishly fitted and furnished (no chintz!) with real timber and quality crockery/pans etc in the well-equipped kitchen. The wood-burning fire kept us very warm on some quite cold evenings.
The owner was very friendly, explaining how some of the eco-friendly aspects of the lodge work, and this enhanced the stay for us, knowing we were helping preserve a beautiful piece of bush.
This is a truly special place to stay if you love nature, and we would happily recommend it to anyone wanting to get away from town for a few days to recharge their batteries.
