High above Pittwater on Sydney's Northern Beaches, Crane Lodge is a luxurious 'tree house' that blends natural beauty with bespoke design. The exclusive-use lodge delivers an escape of the highest standard, from its stunning interiors featuring striking artwork and superb design to its lush, landscaped gardens that immerse guests in the tranquility of nature. The lodge features five large bedrooms, a heated swimming rock pool, cedar hot tub and a fire pit with views across the treetops.

The main residence has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 powder rooms, sleeping a total of 11 guests including 2 children.

There is no limit to the opportunities to relax at Crane Lodge - the in-house concierge service can arrange a masseuse, beautician, onsite chef or private sunrise yoga and meditation classes on the deck.

Elevating the wellness experience, Crane Lodge’s landscaping design features an impressive array of natives endemic to the area, including twenty-five endangered Pittwater spotted gums, with the intention of creating a ‘forest bathing’ experience for guests.
