We believe in the nurturing power of nature.

Through documenting the creation of Crane Lodge we are able to give you a glimpse into the construction, curation and care that embodied bringing Crane Lodge to life. We strive to work closely with Australian artists, artisans and makers to ensure that all Wild Luxury properties celebrate local businesses and artists in a plethora of ways.

About the Founders

Kim and Derek Ellis have a single mission – to take their joie de vivre and generosity of spirit and share it with friends and family across the globe.  Both come from tech backgrounds – Kim is a former tech marketing exec and Derek runs a global design and technology business. They are passionate about the power of technology to create intuitive, seamless experiences.   

By finding unique properties and working with similarly minded architects, landscape designers and artists, they have devoted the last 10 years to creating unique spaces and experiences that reflect their deep belief in the power of connection to nature, and creating enduring memories with friends and family.
