Fodor's Expert Review Jemby Rinjah Eco Lodge
336 Evans Lookout Rd.
Designed for urbanites seeking a wilderness experience, these rustic, self-contained wooden cabins and lodges are set deep in the bush. All have natural-wood furnishings and picture windows opening onto a small deck. One- and two-bedroom cabins have kitchenettes and lounge and dining areas, while the four-bedroom lodges can sleep up to 16 people. Lodges don't have kitchens, but breakfast packs can be arranged. Activities include self-guided walks of the Grose Valley, feeding wild parrots, and spotlighting possums at night. The stunning Evans Lookout is 500 yards away.
