LORD HOWE ISLAND​

new experiences around every corner

An escape to Lord Howe Island is an immersion in nature unlike any other. Experience a pristine tropical paradise: climb its peaks, stroll winding paths beneath sprawling kentia palms and banyan trees, and dive under the surface to witness a kaleidoscope of colour on the island’s reefs, home to 450 species of fish and 90 species of coral.

 

Formed millions of years ago by a volcano erupting from the sea, Lord Howe Island is just 11km long and 2km wide, not even a tenth of the size of London. To preserve the island’s unique ecosystem, only 400 guests are able to set foot at any one time; giving a feeling of having the haven all to yourself.

 

The island is centred by two rugged peaks, Mount Gower and Mount Lidgbird. But nature isn’t the only appeal, between hikes, dives, bird watching and turtle watching the island boasts several world class dining experiences, and a golf course unlike any you’ve seen before.

Things to do

Ned's beach
Wade in the calm waters of Ned’s Beach, where a school of friendly mullet swim to shore to be hand fed. Borrow a snorkel set – just pop some cash in the honesty box – then explore the local reef’s kaleidoscope of fish and coral.
Explore the reefs
Dive the reefs beneath the monolithic pillar known as Balls Pyramid, located south of Lord Howe Island, an international diving bucket list location. There you’ll discover an ecosystem made of caves, reef walls, schools of colourful fish, huge fan corals, sharks, rays and the rare Ballina Angelfish.
Bask in a beautiful sunset
Enjoy a spectacular sunset cruise down Lord Howe Island's stunning lagoon and marvel at the colours of the southern lagoon vista.
Work on your par
Take a swing at one of the most picturesque golf courses in Australia. Once a market garden, the Lord Howe Island Golf Club now has nine challenging holes set among the kentia palm forest and the foreshore.

Day Trip to Adelaide

Wednesday 30 July - Departs 9:30 AM / Returns 17:00 PM

The Barossa is in South Australia, about 70km north-east of Adelaide, the state’s capital city.   Your trip will include a visit of the city centre, The State Library of South Australia and lunch at a local wine bar and kitchen. 

The State Library is the information heart of South Australia, located in the North Terrace Cultural Precinct.  You will have the opportunity to explore all three buildings: the award-winning contemporary Catherine Helen Spence Wing with its iconic glass foyer, the Mortlock Wing with its 19th century Victorian splendour, and the 1861 heritage listed Institute Building.

Sweeping stadium views, stylish bar and lounge, premium menu and extensive wine list.  Bespoke Wine Bar & Kitchen is one of Adelaide’s most impressive dining experiences.

Extending across level three of Oval Hotel and into the iconic Adelaide Oval, Bespoke’s unique setting makes a stunning backdrop lunch.

Executive Chef Daniel Simpson’s modern Australian menu brings bold flavours to life through fresh, seasonal produce.  Two drinks are included, and you may choose from house wine, beer or a soft drink.

After lunch you will be transferred to the North Terrace, Adelaide city where you can choose to spend your time either at Rundle Mall, The Art Gallery of South Australia or South Australian Museum.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  We have been advised that the carpet is being replaced in the Mortlock Chamber (section of the library) and we are now unable to conduct tours through this section during July so we will amend the Private tour of the State Library slightly and now include access to the basement (old & rare artifacts storage) which is an area of the library usually inaccessible to the public.
