Saladin Lodge
Narbethong, Victoria · 2026-05-11
Turbo 360 returned to the stunning Saladin Lodge in Narbethong for a full property photography refresh, delivering images ready for use across major booking platforms.
Tucked into the bush along the Maroondah Highway near Marysville, Saladin Lodge in Narbethong is one of Victoria's most distinctive rural retreats. In May 2026, Turbo 360 headed up through the Black Spur to refresh the property's photography library, giving this beautiful lodge the visual presence it deserves across online booking platforms.
About Saladin Lodge
Saladin Lodge is a luxury bed and breakfast, conference facility, and events destination set on 68 acres of stunning Victorian bushland. Owned and operated by Kim Roycroft, the property welcomes guests for B&B stays, corporate retreats, weddings, and private events. With a trout-filled lake, walking trails through the grounds, and sweeping views across the Yarra Ranges, the lodge is a genuine escape from the city — just over an hour from Melbourne.
Kim has built a reputation for exceptional personal hospitality. Guests consistently praise her warmth and local knowledge, and it's a reputation well earned. The lodge's majestic open-plan lounge, stone fireplace, polished concrete floors, and thoughtfully appointed guest rooms make it a property that photographs beautifully — when it's in the right hands.
What We Covered
The brief was clear: produce a fresh, high-quality photography set that showcases the full character of the property for use across booking websites such as Booking.com and TripAdvisor. That meant capturing:
- The grand main lodge lounge, with its soaring timber ceiling, stone fireplace, and leather furnishings
- Guest accommodation rooms, styled and ready to impress prospective visitors
- The striking lodge exterior framed by the property's mature deciduous trees — particularly stunning in autumn colour
- Aerial perspectives showing the lodge's scale and position within the surrounding landscape
May was a perfect time to shoot. The autumn foliage on the property added a warmth and richness to exterior shots that spring or summer simply can't offer.
What We Delivered
We delivered a comprehensive set of professionally edited property photographs, ready for immediate use across online travel agent listings, the lodge's own website, and social media. The images cover the full guest experience — from the grand communal spaces to the private, well-appointed guest rooms — giving prospective visitors a clear and compelling sense of what to expect when they book.
A Decade-Long Partnership
This wasn't our first visit to Saladin Lodge — not even close. We have been working with Kim Roycroft for over ten years now, and every shoot is a genuine pleasure. Kim greets the team with a smile every single time, creates a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere on set, and trusts us to do what we do best. That kind of long-term client relationship is something we genuinely value, and it shows in the results.
If you run an accommodation property and your current photos aren't doing the space justice, we'd love to help. Get in touch with the Turbo 360 team today.
