Here at The Good Index we’re big fans of a bath….huge in fact! Whether it’s accompanied by a good book, glass of wine or simply perfect silence, it’s our favourite way to decompress after a long day. Luckily, some of New South Wales and Queenland’s finest retreats have taken the bath game to the next level, combining luxurious tubs and sweeping views with our number one relaxation activity. Oh and don’t forget the products…bath bubbles galore!

Mount Mulligan
With the backdrop of its majestic 18-kilometre long sandstone namesake, Mt Mulligan Lodge offers laid-back luxury in the rugged outback environment of Queensland. Located on a 28,000-hectare working cattle station, Mt Mulligan Lodge invites just 20 guests to experience the spirit of the outback through a captivating landscape that’s steeped in indigenous significance dating back 37,000 years. For the rustic bathtub above, book the spacious Outback Room and bathe al fresco on your private verandah whilst enjoying uninterrupted views of the Australian outback. The rest of the room is equally contemporary and luxurious with earthy-tones of the fine linen, sisal rug and dark green wall panelling give a rich sense of place, mirroring the colours found in the outback environment outside.
