Girls' luxury weekend away
Well appointed house high in the trees with beautiful areas both inside and outside to lounge, eat and relax. Loved the comfy beds and linen. The artwork was gorgeous! We had Manny, private chef, come cook for us, and we had a yoga class on the deck amongst the trees and the birds. A beautiful spot for a girls' weekend away!

We are coming back
The house was amazing, but the location was even more special - even better than photos. Couldn’t believe how private the location was, perfect for an extended family get-away especially with the pool and hot tub for kids (and adults). The whole process from booking, checking in and help along the way with local knowledges on restaurants and activities (special mention to Claire and Lauren).

Luxurious stay for my 40th celebration
Amazing stay at crane lodge with a group of my girlfriends for my 40th. Property far exceeded my expectations. The views were stunning. beautiful facilities and great attention to detail. Booked a massage through the owners which was glorious! Hot tub was also a highlight and views were stunning. Can’t wait to stay again!

Our New 'Go To' Luxury Escape
Our family is so grateful to Kim for restoring the sub-canopy of this incredible bioregion of the Barrenjoey Peninsula. Beyond the perfection and peace of this respectful, architectural triumph lie stylish interiors that evoke comfort and conviviality. Riding the open lift up the hill is to enter a private world...sleep in beds like clouds, with soft French linen, admire the art, open a kitchen drawer or cupboard for anything needed, with the added delight of design beauty. Even during our rainy, cool week, it was magical with views from every room and fireplaces to choose. A simple walk down the commercial grade steps through the canopy en route to our car felt like we were part of a nature retreat. Lauren's warm, five-star service was the cherry on top. We can't wait to book again, and to try out Calabash Lodge. Thanks Wild Luxury!

Magic of a stay at Crane Lodge
We had the most magical weekend at Crane Lodge, it was the perfect house for our family. Having a house that is so well equipped for adults, bedding, the fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare, serve and enjoy in dining, right down to the toys for the kiddies (which they loved). We can’t wait to come back and thank you for letting us share a weekend in your paradise.

Beyond Expectations
I'm not sure my words can do this place justice. The gardens, the furniture, furnishings, amenities were all incredible. The design is tasteful and considered. Lauren was lovely and very helpful. We are already planning another visit!

Incredible, magical, magnificent…
This is a truly magnificent place to unwind and enjoy. From the stunning interiors with the beautiful artworks, to the glorious views from every window (the ultramarine ocean off in the distance, Pittwater, the green terraces of the garden, fig trees wrapped around granite boulders, and incredible trees in every direction), I have never stayed anywhere more magical. The beds, linens, towels, tableware and kitchen inclusions are high quality and thoughtfully chosen, and using them makes every meal and bedtime special. The magnesium pool and spa are beautifully situated and using them left me totally relaxed. There are more places in the garden and decks around the house to retreat to than I can count, including a pilates/yoga deck that has hanging bars and mats etc. The outdoor sofa on the deck next to the lounge room was my favourite place to catch the morning sun. I so appreciate the thought and care that has gone into making Crane Lodge the incredible place that it is (including the wonderful manager) and highly recommend staying there. It was not easy to return home! Thank you for an amazing experience.

Perfect girls weekend - Luxurious Sanctuary
Absolutely everything has been thought of in this beautiful resort style home. No expense spared in fittings, furnishings and even the crockery is stunning. The home feels as though you are as close to nature as you could be whilst surrounded in luxury. We had a wonderful girls retreat and would highly recommend. A few little points to note; parking is not at all suitable for more than 1 car, so save yourself the stress and car pool! The inclinator to the top of the property is about a 2 min ride, thankfully once you're up, you don't need to leave anyway!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Candice – it’s really appreciated and we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! Crane Lodge can accommodate two cars in the garage if they have a higher profile due to its steep incline. We do recommend that guest’s car share, when possible, particularly as the lodge caters for larger groups of up to 15 guests. The inclinator is all part of the fun, and we totally agree that guests won’t want to leave!

Seven stars+
"This place is better than any seven-star hotel" says our 80yo guest of honour. It is indeed very luxurious, with plenty of space for our 10-person group. Every amenity is so well thought of, and the entire place from the heated pool, to the jacuzzi is very well maintained. The entire group ended up staying in for the full two days, because we would not rather be anywhere else. Such a wonderful retreat, would 100% stay again.
