We believe in the nurturing power of nature.

 

Our portfolio of eco-positive, world-class properties connect seamlessly with the outdoors. Each property is crafted to integrate into the raw beauty of their unique environment.

The dual properties, Calabash Bay Lodge and Crane Lodge, each feature a plethora of unique experiences. They are both designed with connection, to both people and nature, at the heart of each property. Wild Luxury curates experiences and spaces that are designed to bring people together. To unplug from the noise of the everyday, and connect with what matters most, the people around you.

 

Through documenting the creation of Crane Lodge we are able to give you a glimpse into the construction, curation and care that embodied bringing Crane Lodge to life. We strive to work closely with Australian artists, artisans and makers to ensure that all Wild Luxury properties celebrate local businesses and artists in a plethora of ways.
