Besides the unique design of the lodge itself, which is discussed in more detail below, Blue Mountain Lodge is set in an area at the base of Blue Mountain that offers splendid 360-degree views of the countryside. While the property offers complete privacy, it is located only a bicycle ride away from the town of Stanthorpe.

Blue Mountain Lodge is powered partly by its own solar panel system and is self-sufficient for most other services. It also contains a sophisticated boiler-operated central heating system and uses self-sufficient water catchment and storage systems.

In case of a bushfire, the unique architecturally patented metal clad awnings on the north and south wings of the lodge can lock down to provide very highly resistant bushfire protection. These sections of the building were also specially designed using cutting-edge bush-fire resistant technology.

Hike up Blue Mountain, walk around the bushland, visit wineries, see art galleries, dine out in town. The area surrounding Blue Mountain Lodge offers a wide variety of activities — read more about them on our Things To Do
