Jemby-Rinjah Eco Lodge

Blue Mountains


Near Evans Lookout, these attractive, rustic eco-cabins are lodged so deeply in the gums and bottlebrush that it feels as though you're in very remote bushland, with just the rustle of leaves and the chirp of birds for company. All the one- and two-bedroom weatherboard cabins are equipped with kitchenettes and crockery; the deluxe model has a Japanese hot tub.

The name is an Indigenous word for mountain parrot. There's also a beautiful communal BBQ area and a four-bedroom lodge that's great value for large groups ($500 to $600 for up to 10, sleeps up to 16). Patchy mobile coverage adds to the peace and quiet.
