Idyllic couples retreat
We stayed at the Cedar lodge which was very private and spacious. Communication and check in process very easy and staff very accommodating. The pool was lovely and warm, cooking on the BBQ was easy and the food was absolutely excellent with generous portions. We did the boundary walk, enjoyed the swimming holes and hammocks and seeing the glow worms is a must! Overall a lovely private getaway and would recommend

Pure luxury, very private and romantic
We stayed in the Numinbah, just so very comfortable, very private and oh so romantic. The lodge is very spacious, well laid out and certainly a home away from home. The amenities in the bathroom were a beautiful range. We particularly enjoyed the plunge pool and the expansive outdoor BBQ and sun lounge area given the very warm temperatures over the weekend. The air conditioning inside made the lodge very comfy. The delicious meals were provided in our fridge each day, all we had to worry about was when we wanted to cook and eat, there was always more than enough food, we would never go hungry. We enjoyed our walk up along the creek to the water falls and the hammocks where we relaxed in the hammocks for a while but couldn't wait to go back to our lodge. The staff are amazing, particularly Katherine, thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. This was a very special occasion for us, our 43rd wedding anniversary and my husband's 65th birthday. What a special treat!!!!

Minimoon in Mountain View Lodge
We had a lovely stay in our Mountain View Lodge 'Numimbah'. Such a stunning property and lovely touches from the Crystal Creek Retreat team, a rose petal path to the bed, and a nice bottle of wine - thank you! High-quality furniture and appliances Lovely view! Great selection of DVD's to borrow Only downside was the bath, though gorgeous, it took almost 30mins to half-fill, we filled with hot water only as the bath was marble and the temperature dropping as soon as it hit.... only lasted 5mins in the tub as the water got too cold too quickly.

Beautiful rainforest retreat perfect for proposals
Everything about the place is magical, this is where I proposed to my girlfriend and it couldn't of been a better choice of location. The place is incredibly romantic and is perfect for young couples. The staff are absolutely lovely and made sure that the room was set up in a romantic way (rose petals on the ground leading up to the bedroom). The food is fantastic and since the cabins are fully serviced you can heat the food up at your leisure. The rainforest and walking tracks are absolutely beautiful and the creek is lovely to swim in.

Rainforest bliss
Beautiful 5-star self contained cabin, only 200m away from a crystal clear creek with hammocks and swimming holes. The cabin was emaculate and had everything we needed to create yummy food. Relaxing in the sofa was lovely but the best feature in the cabin was the massive spa bath surrounded by glass windows, showing off the rainforest engulfing the cabin
