What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Four chalets now stand among regenerating eucalyptus forest, each built with rammed-earth walls and finished with Italian linen, soaking tubs, wood-burning stoves…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Direct trail access leads straight to the Grand Canyon loop, with Evans Lookout gazing across the Grose Valley just minutes away.
The rooms
Rammed-earth walls and double-sided fireplaces frame free-standing chalets fitted with deep limestone soaking tubs and twin rainfall showers.
Yoga and massage
An outdoor yoga deck sits in the eucalyptus forest, and visiting therapists provide in-chalet body treatments.
At the table
Breakfast features local Blue Mountains produce and cold-pressed wellness shots, served in the communal lodge or delivered to chalets.
How it began
After the 2019 bushfires destroyed the previous lodge, conservationists restored the seventeen-acre site with over eighty native plant species before rebuilding.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
