About this space

Crane Lodge is a modern treehouse sanctuary suspended above the lush canopy of Palm Beach on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Immersed in native angophora bushland and framed by 360 degrees of wild, sculptural gardens, this one-of-a-kind architectural home offers a serene, shoot-ready setting for high-end campaigns, product editorials, and film productions.

The property is wrapped in layers of green—giant fig trees, natural boulders, and soft dappled light shaping the landscape into something otherworldly. Every outdoor moment feels cinematic and grounded in stillness, ideal for brands looking to capture calm, tonal storytelling in nature.

Inside, the interiors have been meticulously designed by Carole Whiting, Melbourne-based and known for her soft, modern aesthetic. The palette is warm and minimal, with a focus on material quality and visual quiet. Every piece—furniture, finishes, and fixtures—has been selected to support a refined, cohesive atmosphere, allowing products and talent to stand out without distraction.

Natural light pours through the space from multiple angles, creating soft transitions throughout the day. White walls and organic textures serve as neutral backdrops for styling, while thoughtful architectural details anchor the scene with a sense of place. An outdoor shower, fireplace, and white space zones provide even more visual variety, indoors and out.

This location has already been the backdrop for luxe brand shoots such as Saardé, and has been featured in prominent travel publications—proof of its visual impact and creative usability. With a guest capacity of 15 and minimum 8-hour booking windows, it’s built to support small-scale teams who need time and space to work with intention.

Whether you’re shooting wellness content in the back garden, filming a campaign in the canopy, or styling a lookbook across the timber-lined interiors, Crane Lodge offers peace, privacy, and a rare connection to nature—just over an hour from Sydney.
