Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat

Prepare yourself for the ultimate indulgence. In northern New South Wales, between the famously beautiful Byron Bay and the stunning Gold Coast hinterland, lies Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat. Located at the end of sleepy Peaceful Valley, and set on 250 acres, the retreat is bordered on three sides by World Heritage National Park - making it the ideal secluded rainforest destination for a romantic getaway or a surprise anniversary vacay.

The retreat comprises just 10 private luxury Bungalows, all of which are discreetly situated throughout the pristine grounds to ensure complete privacy and relaxation for you & your loved one. We opted to stay in one of the Creekside Cabins (the name is quite self-explanatory), which comes complete with gob smacking rainforest views and a soundscape of whip birds, green tree frogs & the babbling stream. The interior of the cabin boasts privacy, luxury & comfort, defined in such features as heated bathroom tiles, Australian hardwood flooring, a two-person walk in bathtub and a glorious king sized, cloud-like bed.

As the retreat is remotely located, all cabins provide WIFI (albeit rather slow) and are fully self contained, allowing you to bring along you own food and cook at your leisure. Of course, if you're slightly lazier on your holidays like I am, then fear not! CCRR also offers private dining in the form of delicious gourmet hampers or pre-prepared meals delivered directly to your Bungalow door. There is a wide variety of choice (catering to Vegetarians) and the meals we chose were ample and delicious.

Easily bored on holidays? Worry not! The retreat has loads of activities on offer that can even be enjoyed without internet connection AND in rainy weather (we know this from experience, as it rained the whole time we stayed!) such as board games, a massive DVD's library, ping-pong, bird-watching from your deck and in room massages! In sunny weather, you will be able to experience amazing rainforest walks, bike riding, hiking, nature-spotting, spying glow worm colonies, swimming and so, so much more!

I have never been anywhere as breathtaking as Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat; it is truly a paradise that offers a unique & eco-friendly romantic experience beneath the giant strangler figs and 400-year-old rainforest trees. I have fallen in love with this wonderland.......and I bet you will too.
