The Crocodile Hunter Lodge opened in Beerwah, Queensland, on June 22, 2022.
“The Irwin family has been super involved throughout the entire project,” Reavley said.

They also came up with the perfect name for the lodge and restaurant.
Throughout the build, we visited most days to see what exciting part had been finished.”

As for Steve’s widow Terri, there’s an extra significance to the site.
“There are so many special sentimental parts of the lodge.
It was one of Steve’s all-time favorite places.”

His favorite element is the lodge’s First Nation artwork.
The new site hopes to give visitors a more immersive way to enjoy everything The Crocodile Hunter himself embodied.
“The lodge celebrates what Steve loved most: wildlife, fun and family,” Reavley told T+L.
