Australia
Lord Howe Island
Lord Howe, just 2 hours from Sydney, has always been recognised as a nature lovers paradise. Boasting stunning beaches, walking trails, fishing and diving opportunities are all well recognised, but to date available accommodation has been somewhat under-whelming.
The newly completed “Island House” is a game changer. This stunning new property consists of two, two bedroom houses, stunningly finished to exacting standards by owner Tim Maxwell.
This would be ideal for a secluded getaway for couples, or families of course may occupy both houses.
Seclusion is the key here- there is no mobile phone signal on Lord Howe!

Great Walks of South Australia
Our Arkaba Walk and the Murray River Walk come together to give you the opportunity to conquer both in one incredible South Australian journey.
Navigate dry creek beds lined with the time-honoured River Red Gums, coming across the occasional isolated springs while never losing sight of the rolling, craggy cypress pine ridged lines of the Flinders Ranges. Leave the outback behind at the floodplain wetlands of the Murray River and enjoy a gentle cruise up its meandering bends. This exclusively curated journey gives you access to some of the best walking country in Australia.
While everyone loves to have a comfortable bed and great food, it is the time spent with guides on the ground that leaves a lasting impact. Of course, a really good glass of wine at the end of the day as the sun sets over the ancient ramparts of Wilpena Pound and the cliffs along the Murray always helps!
