Country Accommodation - Nature At Its Loveliest...
Glorious gardens, gentle green meadows, wistful water landscapes and eco regeneration areas make Green Star Accredited Crystal Creek Meadows Country Accommodation nature at its loveliest. This tranquil country retreat is surrounded by magnificent views of Kangaroo Valley's mountains and national parks that provide a backdrop of outstanding natural beauty.
Your Chance To Escape...
Discover the National Trust listed landscape of Kangaroo Valley and experience NSW Tourism Award winning hospitality in luxury self catering holiday accommodation. Our luxury eco cottages are set in their own private landscaped garden areas at least 60 metres apart so that all guests experience a true sense of peace and tranquility.
From your cottage you can explore one of the largest private gardens in the South Coast and enjoy magnificent birdlife and native animals.
Crystal Creek Meadows Gardens and Grounds
Stroll through delightful country gardens and enjoy the fresh, clear air where dozens of different rose varieties shade archways and entwine amongst the remains of old stock fencing.
Everywhere you turn you will be surprised by the charm of a fresh and inviting scene, discover lily strewn ponds and dams with a backdrop of neighbouring farm paddocks dotted with grazing cows. You might even spot the resident tortoise, frogs and ducks waddling up the lane.
Summerhouse & Willow Pond
Landscaped to allow you to take in the majestic sandstone escarpments while reclining in the summerhouse or cooking at the BBQ. Perfect location for bird watching while the Black Pacific Ducks and White Faced Herons enjoy the cool pond. You'll even see Willy Wagtail around the water's edge. A perfect place to end the day.
Wedding Marquee Lawn
Surrounded by crab apple and plum trees this spacious lawn provides 360 degree views of the escarpments and rainforest. With a path leading down to the creek this is a wonderful location for a marquee or gazebo style cocktail reception.
Regeneration
We are passionate about our unique gardens and the biodiversity of our property. Crystal Creek Meadows is the only Nature Tourism accommodation provider south of Sydney that has been certified by Eco Tourism Australia.
 Nature tourism is defined as "Ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing nature areas".
As part of our environmental sustainability policy we have planted more than 700 native trees. Our new project is regeneration of the perennial streams and creek. So far we have had considerable success in providing habitats for important native animals.

Children's Nature Trail & the endangered Brush Tailed Rock Wallaby
A carefully designed walk lets children discover the habitat of some of our local wildlife who live on our property. There is also a drawing competition and they can discover more about our local endangered wildlife through a presentation of the Brush Tailed Rock Wallaby.
Carbon Offset Program
Crystal Creek Meadows is a carbon neutral business so your visit will not negatively affect the environment. Plus, we offer guests the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from their return journey to Kangaroo Valley. We do this by planting trees on our property. And to enhance their value we only select local native tree species and plant appropriate understory plants to improve the biodiversity.
A car will emit on average 2.6 grams of CO2 per litre. By planting a tree at Crystal Creek Meadows your journey's CO2 can be offset. 
The cost is $3.50. We will select the species and plant it on your behalf (but you are very welcome to plant it yourself if you wish - this can be a fun family activity) and provide your with a certificate to guarantee that we will maintain the plant until its maturity. This way you can help the environment and during your visit take part in the positive beautification of Kangaroo Valley.
Crystal Creek Meadows is also an active supporter of the Pioneer Museum Park, Friends of the Brush Tailed Rock Wallaby and World Vision Sponsor-a-Child and World Vision Water for Life
