Understated European chic is the key to the décor, with furniture from B&B Italia, Cassina, Pelton Frau, and the media system is Bang & Olufsen and Savior beds all complemented with lighting from Artemide. This is all set against perfect white walls that spread the abundance of sunshine and moonlight throughout the Lodge.

Fabulous bluestone bathrooms are equipped with the softest of towels from Descamps and your own selection of Jo Malone, Ren or Malin + Goetz goodies complement a swimming pool sized bath to soak in whilst gazing towards the southern night sky.

The Lodge is designed to minimize its environmental impact, at every level and is a net extractor of carbon from the atmosphere. Murcutt & Lewin have orientated the Lodge to maximize solar gain during the winter and minimize the gain during the summer period. The house is wonderfully cross vented, to ensure there is no need for air conditioning; short runs for all utilities reduce waste. There is an operational commitment to recycle all waste as well as a commitment to support local organic producers.

The cuisine at Moonlight Head is led by your needs, with extensive consultation prior to your arrival to understand your dietary requirements during your time here. The chef focuses on creating a dining experience to tempt the most mature to the youngest of family palates. Seasonal local produce is selected with an emphasis on fresh organic produce. Dining at Moonlight Head is set by your requirements for every mealtime, all you have to do is say when. Your dining experience, should you wish, is complemented by an exquisite selection of wines from Australia and New Zealand.
