Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat 6 +

OVERVIEW

Privacy, comfort and seclusion – escape to the rainforest of the beautiful Tweed Valley, NSW.

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 13 private and individual architect-designed luxury cabins, bungalows and lodges placed discreetly in a spectacularly pristine Australian rainforest. Set on 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.

This is the ideal relaxing getaway for your special day, with 8kms of rainforest walks you can 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 accommodation, 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. Enjoy a real fire place and a heated private pool.

The unforgettable experience that is Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat is designed for couples or individual guests.

FAQ

We are located on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, almost on the Queensland border. We are generally accessed by car via Murwillumbah, which is about half an hour's drive from Gold Coast Airport in Coolangatta, and we're about another 20 minutes' drive from there. All roads are tarred, except for the last short stretch leading to us, and our driveway itself, which is pebbled. The trip can be made in any domestic vehicle with no difficulty.

If you are flying to us, there are a number of car rental companies at the Airport – hiring a car can be good value for the flexibility it provides. If you like, we will be happy to organise a transfer for you

This depends on the particular date you want to book. We would advise you to contact our reception directly with the specific dates you have in mind. We advise that the Retreat is popular and the longer you leave your booking, the fewer options you will have in the different types of accommodation.

No, we do not have a sit-down restaurant but we do provide private dining for our guests with our gourmet menu

Wow now this is the place to get engaged. My now husband meticulously planned my proposal with the help of the team at Crystal Creek. They went above and beyond to create a spectacular setting for my husband to propose in. Bottle of champagne, chocolates, a huge bunch or long stem red roses, canceled, rose petals, a lit fireplace and even a love heart shaped with rose petals on the bed. The view was stunning and they even organised an in-house couples massage for us the next day. You can cater yourself or purchase their meal packs which we did. Such a great romantic and relaxing experience

I've had my eye on this resort for quite a few years, and was worried it wouldn't live up to my expectations, but was pleasantly surprised when it exceeded them! Absolutely gorgeous resort, and the staff are super friendly. Can't fault them on a single thing, great place, great food, great staff, excellent all round. Hoping we can return soon

If i am traveling overseas for our honeymoon should i wait till we get back before changing my name?

Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat

We advise you to make the booking in your future married name as this will save any confusion after you are married.

How far in advance do I need to book my honeymoon?

Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat

Hi Kandice, I would advise booking your honeymoon 12 months out, if that can work for you. Saying that many 'retreats/hotels etc' will let you book in advance without a deposit. You will need to give a date say 6 months out that you will pay the deposit or start making instalments etc. Until that time there should be absolutely no cancelation issues or fees etc but please do give the venue a heads up if you are not going to go there. It is only fair.

With best wishes Mark
