- RRachel K01/02/2024A piece of paradiseA piece of paradiseA piece of paradise. Glen and Wendy have created the perfect balance of luxury and humbleness while surrounded by the Australian bush. From the beautiful timber furniture to the multiple spaces to appreciate nature from your creature comforts, Sweetwater Lodge grounded us and slowed the pace right down. Then there's Platypus hut for an afternoon dip in the rockpools. It was 3 nights of tranquility with plenty of privacy. We're also leaving with a new interest in bird-watching!

Driving into the property we immediately felt it was going to be a special place continue our adventure to explore a little of the surrounding area. The cabin itself was a pleasure to live out of for the five nights we had booked with all the amenities one could possibly want. We both loved the semi outdoor shower which was very private followed by warming up in front of the wood fire of course. The quality of the construction and fit out of the cabin...The perfect place to relax and explore.
