Starlight Loft — our newest and most superior room — is an elevated, light-filled sanctuary offering the most panoramic views of any room in the lodge. Perched on its own private upper level, it combines privacy with breathtaking vistas over Paterson Inlet, Ulva Island and the open sky.
It’s the perfect choice for guests seeking a truly special stay — a peaceful retreat where sunrise, sunset, twilight and the stars become part of your experience.
About The Room
Starlight Loft features a spacious king bed and its own bathroom with a large shower and separate bathtub — a calm, comfortable space designed for unwinding at the end of the day. From the elevated treetop balcony and the large panorama window in front of your bed, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Paterson Inlet, Ulva Island and the surrounding ranges. Tune in and watch the clouds.
Morning sun filters softly through the roof window, while evenings offer beautiful light as the day fades towards sunset. And when night falls, the dark sky opens above you — perfect for stargazing and, when nature allows, a panoramic view of the Aurora Australis.
Guest often commend on the special appeal of watching the changing weather from the cozy comfort of their Starlight Loft. Sun, rain, storm, sun — sometimes four seasons in a day!
Downstairs is the lodge’s generous lounge with its stunning views and peaceful bush surroundings.

A Look Inside Starlight Loft
Starlight Loft has an elevated, tranquil atmosphere — spacious, light-filled and wonderfully private. It’s a place to settle into after exploring the island, watch the colours move across Paterson Inlet, and enjoy the soft glow of sunset from your treetop balcony. At night, the sky opens above you in a way that feels almost unreal, with stars, constellations and — when nature allows — the Southern Lights dancing on the horizon.
