New to Host Unusual: Incredible Vistas from Caves, Lodges and Treehouses

7 May 2018

Incredible vistas and natural settings are the two worlds that collide beautifully with our latest arrivals. We begin by exploring the Blue Mountains in Australia with a range of rustic and bespoke cabins overlooking the pristine rainforest of this beautiful Antipodean spot. We then head to the olive groves of Tuscany, where safari-style lodges perched on a ridge near the sea with outstanding views await you. Finally we make our way across the Atlantic to a natural retreat in Vermont, where a treehouse and lodge with sky loft for panoramic views out towards no less than 86 acres of mountain land are ready to greet you.

Love Cabins at Mount Tomah, Australia

Love Cabins (above and main picture) is a refreshing wilderness escape by Mount Tomah in the Blue Mountains World Heritage mountain range, with plenty of dramatic scenery to take your breath away, and each of these gorgeous nature-inspired cabins is bespoke-designed to be perfectly unique. Your choice of magically unusual accommodation includes an enchanted cave with a roaring fireplace and outdoor shower to bring you as close as possible to those wilderness views. A tempting treehouse is exquisitely furnished with an outstanding rainforest panorama from floor-to-ceiling windows. Dream Cabin features natural wooden beams, polished concrete floors and raw sandstone slabs, blending beautifully with its natural surroundings, whilst The Love Tee Pee for two is cosy and colourful, set within intricate rock formations. No matter which you choose, you’ll be in the right place for romance and tranquility.

Vedetta Lodges, Italy

Perfect for those who appreciate a touch of trademark Italian style and five-star comfort, but who also want to get back to nature while they’re away; a stay at Vedetta Lodges is a beautifully refreshing and indulgent glamping experience. Nestled in the unspoilt Maremman countryside, amongst the olive groves of Poggio La Forcola, you will find eight very special lodges, all named after the Pleiades, the mythical sisters who guided sailors to safety (Vedetta is Italian for “look-out”). As you might expect, each of the eight lodges come complete with glorious views. Three overlook the charming medieval town of Scarlino, with a panoramic vista that takes in lush forest and countryside, while the remaining five will lead your gaze to the sparkling sea, with views stretching out to Elba and Corsica.
