Nestled among endangered spotted gum trees high above Pittwater at the peak of Sydney’s Barrenjoey Peninsula, Crane Lodge is a luxurious 'tree house' that blends natural beauty with bespoke design.

The exclusive-use lodge delivers an escape of the highest design standard, from its stunning interiors featuring striking artwork by some of Australia’s outstanding artists and superb furniture designers, to its lush, landscaped native gardens which offer a forest bathing experience that immerses guests in the tranquillity of nature.

Crane Lodge features four large bedrooms, a detached studio apartment, separate family and formal living rooms, a dining room with 180-degree views across the treetops of both the Pacific Ocean and Pittwater, multiple outdoor entertainment spaces, a heated magnesium 'rock pool' and cedar hot tub, plus a fire pit bounded by cathedral-like rocks perfect for convivial yarns.

Walk to nearby Whale Beach, or enjoy an abundance of incredible activities only a short drive away, from SUP, kayak, or sunset yacht tours on Pittwater, surf lessons at Palm Beach, a hike to the famous Barrenjoey Lighthouse or discover rock art in the Ku’ring-gai Chase National Park. Dine out at some incredible local fine diners or one of the best pubs wih a view in Sydney, or stay in and let our private chef prepare a delicious long lunch under the spectacular Port Jackson fig tree.
