ROMANTIC RAINFOREST RETREATS
Bathe in a fairytale forest and sleep in a treehouse at these romantic rainforest retreats. Here’s the most romantic rainforest retreat getaways.
PETHERS RAINFOREST RETREAT Tamborine Mountain
Made up of 10 treehouses tucked at the end of a rambling driveway, Pethers Rainforest Retreat is made for couples.
Accessed by a web of paths suspended above the leafy floor, each of the love nests is cleverly positioned for privacy.
Giant windows, spanning from timber floors to lofty 5m ceilings, and glass sliding doors on to a tree-wrapped deck encourage total immersion, with whipbirds supplying the rainforest soundtrack.
There’s champagne and chocolate chilling in the fridge, candles lining a very roomy spa bath, a fireplace and a kingsize bed cocooned in crisp cotton.
MAGICAL RAINFOREST RETREAT Main Arm, NSW
The magic begins the moment you tiptoe across a twinkle-light-wrapped bridge to arrive at this hidden Airbnb.
The charming cabin, tucked in the treetops at Main Arm, just 7km from the village vibe of Mullumbimby, has everything you need to put the world on hold, including a wood fire and Netflix.
Dream the day away in a love nest swinging basket suspended above the gently bubbling creek.
CRYSTAL CREEK RAINFOREST RETREAT Upper Crystal Creek, NSW
Forest bathing is taken literally at this romantic retreat in Northern NSW.
General manager Mark van Renen believes their dreamy tubs are one of the biggest drawcards for couples.
“Our Mountain View Lodges have solid, handcrafted marble baths — they weigh 1300kg, a proper two-person bath,” Mark says.
“Some of the baths look straight into oldgrowth rainforest — it’s like looking into Gondwana land — while others have views to Mount Springbrook or out to the coastal ranges.”
Candlelight completes the rainforest fairytale.
“We can set up 100 lit candles in the room, around the bath, along with flowers and champagne,” Mark says.
