Designed to seamlessly combine the three key ingredients of the perfect romantic getaway – privacy, comfort and luxury – with a stunning natural location, Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat comprises just 10 private architect-designed luxury bungalows placed discreetly in a spectacularly pristine Australian rainforest. Set on 100 hectares (250 acres) at the end of a peaceful valley, the Retreat is bordered on three sides by World Heritage National Park, assuring true peace and privacy.

For a honeymoon … or a romantic surprise for a birthday or anniversary … or just an escape from life’s hectic pace … this is the ideal relaxing getaway. Stroll along stunning fern-lined gullies, under giant strangler figs and 400-year-old rainforest trees. Lie in a hammock over a bubbling rainforest brook of pure, crystal-clear mountain water. Back at your bungalow, enjoy freshly prepared, delicious gourmet food that has been quietly delivered to you, relax with a DVD from our extensive library and then snuggle up for the night with your loved one in exotic luxury.

Surrounded on 3 sides by the Numinbah Nature Reserve which itself adjoins the Springbrook and Lamington National Parks, you will be as close as you can get to living in a internationally significant nature reserve. The World Heritage-listed rainforests of the Mount Warning volcano have evolved over 100 million years and are home to many rare and endangered plants and animal species. A romantic escape to Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat is a perfect excuse for exploring the biodiversity of this region.

The unforgettable experience that is Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat is designed for couples or individual guests. Additional guests and/or children cannot be accommodated in our bungalows.
