The Lodge Jamberoo

This place has so much potential and attention to detail.

We really loved our week end at the Lodge! Friendly staff and lots to do (pool, hot tub, sauna, games room, gym, bikes, tennis, fire pits, activities planned by staff etc..) Restaurant and bar on site. We can't wait to come back!

' Perfect! And affordable '
The property is beautiful, and hidden away with plenty of resort activities. Room was clean and spacious with good bathroom/shower facilities. Management were extremely friendly and provided us with plenty of recommendations for the area (which there is much to do besides the water park).

Definitely would stay there again! Read less

Friendly staff, made me feel welcome instantly and answered any questions I had. Beautiful grounds, especially the pool set up! Enjoyed being able to work out in the morning and use the sauna and steam room after. Cocktails were delicious too! Absolutely stunning place for a wedding!

This place offering all the good vibe feels

secluded and peaceful! the lodge is so relaxing in the beautiful nature of Jamberoo, we loved every minute of unwinding and appreciating our surroundings whilst still keeping ourselves occupied with all the lovely amenities they have. From the delicious dinner we had at lulus, to lounging round the massive heated pool all day, we cannot wait to head down to Sydney again as its a stay we definitely won't miss coming back too.

Had the absolute privilege of staying at The Lodge one night the other week and can without a doubt say that I loved it.

The room was great, the facilities were fantastic (I was just sad that I couldn't enjoy them more due to the cold weather!) and the entire hotel overall had a very nice and laid back feeling to it, a great opportunity for a weekend getaway outside of the hustle and bustle while only being a few minutes from town. All of my interactions with staff was also great, all were lovely and very helpful.

Would 100% stay here again the next time i'm on the South Coast and would recommend anyone else considering staying here to take it up.

Beautiful place, friendly Staff, great food & drinks. A lovely getaway place for families or couples. My little boy loved the marshmallows by the fire.
Room was lovely, catered to our needs.

We had a lovely two-night stay at The Lodge Jamberoo! The grounds are BEAUTIFUL, so much for the kids to explore and so aesthetically pleasing - photo opportunities everywhere. Lulu's Restaurant was lovely, the staff were so kind and the food was delicious. Great live music on weekends - would be a fabulous place for a wedding. The rooms were simple, but to be honest you don't want to spend much time in the room because it's so lovely outdoors! We visited Minnamurra Rainforest and the Jamberoo town centre while we were there - also had a lovely breakfast at The Valley Cafe. What a great spot for a little weekend getaway!

Excellent highly recommended

We spent fabulous two nights at this place for a friends wedding. As we understood this was resorts first big wedding function ( cca 170+ people over two days) and I have to give a big compliment to all staff and manager involved as they worked around the clock. Resort is in a beautiful setting, it has lovely swimming pool, bicycles and all other amenities to keep you busy if you are just staying over for a relaxing few days. We have stayed in king room, it has simple but modern fit out, but most importantly is was clean and bed comfortable. We loved decor and coziness of the Lulu restaurant and generous, delicious buffet breakfast. Definitely will come back for a relaxing weekend as we would love to explore more at close by Minnamurra National park.

Great place! Very family oriented. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Restaurant food is great!

Absolutely stunning! The place just looks incredible - from the interior design to the gardens. It has a lovely vibe. We ate in the champagne garden and the pizzas were delicious! Friendly and helpful staff, also!

My partner and I recently enjoyed a weekend at the The Lodge Jamberoo and we absolutely loved it!
Its the perfect getaway, suited for everyone with plenty of resort activities, and an exquisite dinning area.
The staff were all very friendly and our room was neat, tidy and only a few steps away from everything.
Overall just a beautiful location to stay and relax.
Looking forward to staying again soon

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge and will come back!

Had the best girls/ weekend here!
It is such a beautiful spot and only 1 1/2 hours south of Sydney is great to have a weekend away.

The Lodge in Jamberoo, lovingly refurbished by new owners, is an absolute hidden gem just a short two-hour drive from Sydney. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm of this idyllic haven.

The stunning decor throughout the lodge gave us an immediate sense of stepping into a rustic yet elegant European retreat. The cozy ambiance and tasteful touches made us feel right at home.

The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the wrap-around swimming pool, perfect for leisurely dips and playful splashes with the kids. The spacious gym and the huge hot tub were a delightful treat after a day of exploring the picturesque surroundings.

This magical place is often sought-after for weddings, and it's no wonder why! The Lodge's romantic ambiance would make any celebration truly unforgettable.

Our Christmas in July dinner party with seven families (and oh, 20 excited kids!) was an absolute blast! The staff ensured every detail was taken care of, and the late-night residents' bar added a touch of camaraderie to the festivities.

We started our mornings with rejuvenating yoga sessions at 8 am, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature.

In all honesty, words fall short to describe the sheer joy and laughter that filled the air during our stay. The Lodge in Jamberoo has woven unforgettable memories into our hearts, and we can't wait to return to this whimsical wonderland.

If you're seeking an enchanting escape in the Southern Highlands, look no further than The Lodge. It's a treasure trove of adventure, relaxation, and delightful surprises for everyone!

Highly recommended for families, groups, or a romantic getaway!

We held our work conference at The Lodge and it has been our most successful to date. The River room was the perfect spot to hold a work event, the food from Lulu's was incredible and the facilities were next level. The addition of Yoga turned it into a work retreat and the hospitality of the whole team (especially Bec) has us wanting to return next year!

Beautifully renovated lodge with stunning decor and an incredible wedding hall. The pool area is so serene. The setting is beautiful and so peaceful. Would highly recommend for all ages. Food and drinks were amazing as were the staff. We loved our stay and cant wait to return.

My husband and I recently had the most magical, Indian wedding at the Lodge. From the moment we stepped into the premises, we knew the place was for us. As the first wedding to be held there, we were a little nervous & joked about being the Lodges guinea pigs- however in the lead up to the big day, the team were incredibly attentive and supportive in helping us plan everything. It truly felt like they were just as invested in making our wedding perfect as we were.

Ben, Brent and the rest of the Lodge team went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and address any queries. Their expertise and attention to detail were evident as they guided us through the planning process, offering invaluable suggestions that made a significant difference in creating the wedding of our dreams.

On the big day itself, we were blown away by the level of service provided by every single staff member- from Brent waking at 5am to receive the make-up team through to the fun bar tenders who kept the party going until midnight.

Throughout the day, every single staff made sure that all our needs were met, and they did so beyond our expectations. They were attentive, polite, and seemed genuinely happy to be a part of our special day. We felt like royalty as they catered to our every need, ensuring that our guests were well taken care of over the 3 days we stayed there.

The wedding venue itself was simply breathtaking. The elegant and intimate grounds added a touch of luxury to the whole experience. Whether youre looking to have an intimate wedding or a full blown big fat Indian wedding (like we did) we cannot recommend the Lodge enough.

Brent & team- see you all at our 1 year anniversary on the 5th June 2024!

Such a beautiful place. The whole grounds are like something out of a movie scene. I stayed there three nights a couple of weeks ago thinking it would be a nice place to get away from Sydney for a couple of nights but it completely exceeded what we could have hoped for. The room was really nice and loads of space for our three kids. The kids just loved it. They would still be in the outdoor hot tub if I allowed them. Great games room. The restaurant and bar is gorgeous. Open fires everywhere, outside fire pit and the food is top top quality. Loads to do and lots of places for the kids to explore. We have just added it as our favourite trip away from Sydney that we cant wait to do again. I also have to mention how nice the staff were, the lady at reception who checked us in couldnt do enough for us and all the staff were really nice to our kids. It has a lovely happy outdoorsy family vibe to it. Thank you for such a lovely time:)

We had a wonderful and romantic dinner at Lulu's Restaurant for my husbands birthday.
The staff, drinks and food, were on point! They even for filled my candle request. They kindly placed a birthday candle in my husbands dessert. 100% recommend!

Just went to the restaurant and loved it. Great location and vibe. Little hard to find your way around the venue and car park is very dark at night which is dangerous. Great food and venue though.

A massive thank you to the team at the Lodge for hosting our wedding weekend, it was everything we had hoped for and more! There was so much attention to detail, patience and care from the whole team leading up and on the day of - Brent, Ben, Bec, Laura, Holly, Oli. Everything just felt easy (extra thanks to Ben - from my mum ). We loved, and utilised, every space the venue had to offer, the welcome gifts, coffee offerings, all the food, proximity of wedding hall to your bed.. the list goes on.

Our friends and family had an amazing time especially as we had many who travelled from New Zealand and further to attend. Looking forward to coming back to Lulus and in summer time to use the pool !

We were lucky enough to be the third wedding hosted by The Lodge Jamberoo. It was an absolute VIBE - there's no other way to explain it. The idea of planning a wedding was first overwhelming but with the right venue and team it was actually a process we really enjoyed. Ben and Brent went to every effort to make sure our guests were well fed and enjoying themselves. They had such a no-fuss, can-do attitude and 9/10 accommodated our requests. If they couldn't, they made up for it in other ways. Our guests stayed two nights which meant we could make the most of the facilities at the Lodge including, Lulu's the night before for our arrival party and on the day of the wedding our guests loved the tennis court, sauna and hot tub before getting ready for the ceremony at 3pm. We are so thankful for the planning and communication leading up to the wedding because on the day, we just enjoyed the time with our friends and family and everything just came together around us. Our guests did not go hungry, the food was incredible and so beautifully presented and the venue was, like I said, such a VIBE! The Lodge generously allowed us access to all their props and styling items which were all great quality and made the reception hall look stunning and Lulu's spoke for itself - styled to perfection. Couldn't have been happier with our experience! The rooms were basic but comfortable - we do understand that they are in the process of being revamped so with the rooms done, I would not be able to fault this place! Thank you to the awesome team at the Lodge and especially Brent & Ben - you helped us throw the wedding of our dreams!

Went for lunch. Lovely, quiet nice atmosphere

The whole venue is adorable throughout though for me the biggest highlight was their restaurant. The place itself is super cute with a super cool, boutique style funky decor. Its laid out it a way you just want to hang around and order a few more Negronis to pass the afternoon.

Other highlights were the spa and the games room where we hung out at the end of our conference and dinner for a bit.

And by far one of the biggest highlights (perhaps only second to the restaurant and food) was the service!

Our whole group had an amazing time and the wonderful service was something we all kept bringing up. We will definitely be back to The Lodge!

Thank you for such a wonderful weekend! The service was incredible with personal touches and lovely, attentive staff. The whole place is beautiful and there are no words to describe how good the food is! Can't wait to go back!

This place is such a magical place ! Its beautifully designed with an amazing cozy restaurant and bar, it has things for the family as well as a couples retreat, its quiet and the service is phenomenal! Highly recommended

We went to a function at The Lodge and from our arrival to departure, everything was beyond perfect.

The location is absolutely beautiful and the facilities are so nice, cute, chic, thought out, comfortable and overall awesome. There are wow moments all over the property. It's a definite vibe and I felt so comfortable, peaceful and super cool being there. The care and vision these guys have is crazy. We attended events with live music, delicious food, violinists, fire dancers, ice cream stations, girls wearing dessert tray skirts (!!!!) and a lot more.

THE FOOD!!!!! Everything was so amazingingly delicious. None of us could stop eating. Everything, literally everything was to die for.

And lastly, the service and care was perfect. I've stayed in many 5 star resorts around the world and all of the staff at The Lodge are on par, if not better. We can't wait to go back!

Wonderful weekend. The venue, the staff, the food and the service were just outstanding. The event we attended was flawless. At no point were we worried or concerned, the staff had everything under control.

In addition to the venue, the location is beautiful. In the southern highlands, couldnt be more picturesque. I wish I could get married again just to have it here :-)

Great location and fantastic amenities. Beds aren't great but you're there for the location.

The Lodge Jamberoo is a beautiful hotel hidden away in the valley and only 10 minutes from the coast line. Amazing for families and events. We will be back soon!

When I arrived as I booked late my room was not ready and the number I had to call was not picking up.

I went to the restaurant on-site and spoke to Alysha who was very lovely sorted out the room for me gave me a complimentary pizza and goodies and everything was soon sorted! Customer service like this is hard to come by these days. Not to mention the pizza was delicious and I will be back to eat at the restaurant soon!!!

The fairy lights are a real pretty sight to see at night. Would definately recommend and I will definately be back!

Thank you once again!

Went today for lunch at the recently renovated Jamberoo Lodge.
It was absolutely stunning as it relates to the renovation. Always was such a beautiful place and location, now 5 star.
Food, wine and service were outstanding.
What Jamberoo has been missing for so long.
Will be going back again and again.
Highly recommend.

We chose The Lodge as our wedding venue and were married there in September 2023. It was an amazing experience.

Compared to other venues we looked at prior to finding The Lodge, the pricing of the venue was very reasonable and we were really happy with the value for money.

The venue itself is stunning. Every direction you look is tranquil and beautiful. The styling is next level - Lulus Restaurant and Finns Bar are beyond charming! From our first inspection, to when we visited for a tasting, to our actual wedding day, the venue only continued to be improved and perfected. There are so many spots for photo ops, our personal favourite was the pool area!

All of the food served was exceptionally presented and super tasty. Our guests could not stop commenting on how amazing the food was, lots of them stating it was the tastiest wedding meal they have ever had. We had a welcome dinner at Lulus, a grazing table after the wedding ceremony, and a two course banquet style meal at the reception with our wedding cake for dessert.

The accommodation was clean, practical and lovely. We utilised all of the rooms during our stay, with the majority of our wedding guests staying at the venue. We (and our guests) loved the fact that everything was in one place, and if they wanted to duck back to their rooms to freshen up or if they were ready for bed, they could simply walk home! It made logistics so easy and we did not need to organise any transport or vehicles for our day.

We utilised the games room for the groomsmen to get ready and the river room for the bridal party to get ready. They were both spacious and styled to perfection!

The tree cathedral and wedding hall are both stunning. The venue had lots of decorations we had access to if we wanted them to use in the wedding hall which was wonderful. We had 150 guests and there was plenty of room for tables to seat everyone as well as a large dance floor area to fit everyone. The staff working the reception were friendly and genuinely seemed happy to be there.

All of the staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs during our stay. Nothing was an issue, and we were honestly treated like royalty. Brent, Laura, Holly, Bek and the team are a well-oiled machine and thought of everything. They were only a text or phone call away the entire time and on our wedding day were on the ground checking in regularly to attend to any need we may have had. They took small jobs off our plate like meeting vendors on the day and organising food and drinks for the bridal party whilst getting ready so we could just relax and be fully present.

We honestly cannot fault The Lodge. If you're thinking about booking it for your wedding, stop thinking and just book, you wont regret your decision!

Thank you so much Brent, Laura, Holly, Bek and the rest of the team for an unforgettable experience. We were absolutely flawed and super grateful for everything you all did for us. The venue is spectacular and the service is beyond exceptional. It is an absolute gem! We will be back for a visit soon!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Aaron and Amelia

Beautiful venue, delicious food, from starters, through main courses to desserts, fair prices and friendly staff. Highly recommend

Wow, what a treat.
We visited the lodge for a little family getaway and loved it. The kids were kept busy with all the options and we had an amazing meal in the restaurant.
Unfortunately my daughter was unwell in the middle of the night however the management attended and ensured we had everything we needed.

Brent and his staff at the Lodge were incredible. They made our welcoming night and our wedding night both perfect and stress free. They were professional and courteous right from the beginning of wedding preparations all the way until the end. We were spoilt for choice with rooms and the venue and facilities it offered were great and the whole resort has a very relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a stress free wedding.

Thank you again!

Our team recently stayed at Lodge Jamberoo to prepare for our client's wedding, which hosted 150 guests. This beautiful hideaway, nestled amidst enchanting forests with a charming creek winding through the garden, offered a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

What impressed us most, apart from the amazing cuisine, was the professionalism and collaborative spirit of the lodge staff. They consistently checked in with us during the wedding setup, offering assistance and ensuring seamless communication throughout our stay.

Wonderful location tucked in the backhills convenient to minamurra rainforest and the action park. Just the right combination of intimate and boutique.

Love taking friends and relatives to the Lodge. Had a relaxing stroll around the grounds before lunch. Especially love the creek that runs through the property.

I have had the pleasure of retreating to the Lodge at Jamberoo 3 times in 3 months! We just love the place. Great for parents and kids alike so much to keep the kids entertained and the adults just love the amazing restaurant! It's the best kept secret!

We had the most wonderful 2 night getaway at The Lodge! The service was friendly and helpful. The surroundings are stunning and we really enjoyed the delicious meals that we had in the Champagne Garden and in the restaurant. The restaurant is so inviting and the decor is super funky. The pool was a lovely place to enjoy a cocktail in the afternoon. The room was simply and tastefully done and the beds were comfortable. I believe that a room upgrade is the next renovation on the plans and this will just make the stay even more lovely. Thank you for a wonderful little time away at your beautiful lodge. I can't wait to come back!

Can't say enough good things about the staff here, even the cleaning crew. They went over and beyond to cater for our large family. Wish l knew the names of the crew here, l would drop them in my comments.

Keep up the good work Jamberoo
I highly recommend this place for your nexr get away...

Can not speak more highly of this incredible establishment. We absolutely loved the facilities, everything was in fantastic working condition, kids club was incredible (hubby and I got to have some time to ourselves) kids had an absolute ball. The water in the forest at our door step was just pure magic and the staff were beautiful. I highly, highly recommend staying here.

Cannot fault this place. Staff, rooms, incredible venue, stunning pool area and food was lovely. Will be back for sure, it was one of the best wedding venues I have encountered.

We are not people who normally leave reviews but after we left The Lodge, we couldnt wait to let everyone know what an incredible place The Lodge truely is!! They made our wedding the most incredible experience and stress free. Nothing was ever a drama and the staff was so accommodating which made our day even more special. Highly recommend on having your wedding at The Lodge, you will not be disappointed in any way.

What a dream couple of nights at The Lodge. From check in to check out we had a fantastic time. Special shout-out to Teagan on the front desk for being so amazing - thank you! Big thanks also to wait/bar staff (Cameron, Mia and Joel) who looked after us so well and to Jackson for working so hard around the grounds and making sure we could enjoy the games room. Our room was great - from our surprise anniversary gift on arrival (such a lovely touch) to our comfy King bed. The food in the restaurant was delicious. What more could you want?! Finally, the styling (inside and out) of this hidden gem of a hotel makes you feel like youve stumbled onto a Slim Aarons location shoot - we loved every bit of it. We will be back soon! xx

A beautiful location surrounded by nature, excellent service from staff, delicious food and the most romantic location for wedding. Love and recommend staying at the lodge 100%

Overall, beautiful experience. Amazing decor, friendly staff and high quality delicious meals best first experience!! Thank you

Loved it! Went for a wedding and the experience was fab. The service was nice, food as well and the whole property was beautiful. Would definitely visit again!!

My husband and I held our wedding weekend at The Lodge, Jamberoo, in February 2024. We hosted our family and friends Friday to Sunday, and our biggest complaint would be that we wish we had stayed another night! Looking forward to heading back one day soon to relive our beautiful memories in their stunning grounds. It would be great to see a more diverse breakfast buffet menu for our friends with dietary requirements (i.e. gluten-free, celiac, vegan). Thanks to Brent, Fera and Amelia for all of their hard work leading up to and on the day.

We recently held our daughters wedding here.
Brent and his team were simply amazing from start to finish.
Special mention to Amelia, Alisha and Mario.
No better place to celebrate your special day.
"Best wedding ever!"

Food was delicious. We ordered kingfish, bruschetta, croquettes and wagyu bresoala. Mains were 2 types of pasta, steak, pork belly and duck. Couldnt fault the service and the staff were incredibly accomodating from the initial call to make a reservation when I couldnt find a table online to guiding us about leaving after our meal due to a wedding taking place around the same time. We had 2 babies plus two toddlers (and other kids) with us & were not made to feel unwelcome at all.

Would 100% return no questions about it. Great venue!

My daughters wedding was recently held at The Lodge Jamberoo.
As father of the bride, you want it all to be perfect.
I looked for faults to correct..there were none.

It was my first destination wedding 2 nights and 3 days.
The rainforest surroundings - the calming sights and sounds of the nearby watercourse and abundant birdlife chilled everyone out.

The accommodation clean and very comfortable.
The different event locations on the property for the welcome night party, the 2 breakfasts, wedding ceremony, pre-dinner drinks and wedding dinner all within a stones throw of each other were amazing.
The food plentiful and delicious.
The staff - friendly, skilled and efficient.

When your daughter has dreamed of her perfect wedding since she was a little girl and when her dream comes true there is no better feeing.

Best wedding Ive ever been to was a comment often heard as we said goodbye to guests and departed back to reality.
It was a magical 3 days.

A big thank you to The Lodge Jamberoo from all our family and friends.

We cannot recommend the Lodge, Jamberoo enough! My husband and I just had the most incredible wedding over 2 days and the Lodge staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was absolutely perfect! Brent, Laura and team were extremely thoughtful, looked after all our needs and went as far as leaving personalised notes and hampers in our rooms. Our guests loved the food as well as the venue and made it known that it was one of the best weddings that they had been to. If I could do it all over again I would but for now I will settle on coming back to the venue for our 1 year anniversary!

5 stars all round! My husband and I had our wedding weekend here and it was the best experience. Not just for us, but our guests too. Everything was taken care of, staff was agreeable & always had a can do attitude for every request we had. Don't get married anywhere else!

We LOVED The Lodge! So unfortunate there are some negative reviews about the rooms before talking to staff or taking the complaints to reception. If you had your know The Lodge is in the stages of being renovated with rooms being last on the list. We too had a few complaints with our room too but when we spoke to reception they were so accommodating and helpful and resolved any issues they could. The customer service was fantastic! The grounds are fantastic! Beautiful surroundings and so much to do with kids. (Would have loved the pool to be heated though as its freezing so kids cant last too long!) We had a great experience st Lulus restaurant too and highly recommend eating there and trying their delicious cocktails!

We did a last minute stay at the lodge on a drive back up the coast. The manager, Brents hospitality and kindness was unbelievable. We felt so looked after and had a really lovely time. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing wedding venue in every way possible.
Just stunning!

Spent the weekend celebrating my daughters wedding. Service from staff impeccable. Ensured all went off without hassle. Special mention to Mario who bent some rules to accommodate specific requirements (and also tied my tie)

Situated in the middle of a rainforest. Can't get much better than that. Well worth the visit. Great coffee an open fire and good food. Cozy place

We hosted our wedding weekend at the Lodge and couldn't recommend it enough. The staff were so helpful, and organised personalised touches to make the guests staying on site feel valued and welcome. The food, service, and presentation for our welcome night, breakfasts, cocktail hour and reception was unreal, and people couldn't stop talking about it all weekend. Everything ran so smoothly, so we could just sit back and enjoy our special day.

Fantastic venue, terrific staff and exquisite food!
