Property Description:
The exterior walls of Araluen are constructed of locally quarried stone, giving it a very distinctive mountain lodge character. This is enhanced with soaring timber lined ceilings and beams in almost every room.
On entering the lodge, the foyer area flows through to a guest lounge with a wood fire set in front of a feature stone wall and surrounded by comfortable couches. Across from the lounge is the guest dining room with individual table settings where breakfast is served. A curved wall of large picture windows overlooks the gardens and countryside bathed in the morning light. Behind this section of the lodge is a dedicated wing where the guest bedrooms are located. The rooms enjoy a notherly aspect with a hillside forest outlook. Two of the rooms have atrium style sitting areas and all have french doors to the outside. It has been decorated throughout with refined flair and a sense of European elegance.
