noting the considerable upgrades made to the property since its closure. The new lodge has expanded its day spa and gym, added a wet-edge pool to its Great Room deck, and, most notably, has regenerated much of the surrounding bushland destroyed in the fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_6d1e6ecc19892dc1abbeddcc7e94f4b2\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide lux_dealcard_gallery\"
