Lord Howe Island is a very special Australian island, situated 700 kilometres North-East of Sydney, it is a world heritage listed natural paradise.
It features the magnificent Mt Gower and Mt Lidgbird peaks at one end descending down to green pastures, kentia palms and a windswept tree line below sheltering a magnificent coral lagoon on one side of the island and the beautiful Ned's Beach on the other.
For a close, quiet, relaxing getaway, Lord Howe is perfect. Just a 2 hour domestic flight from Sydney or Brisbane and only 11 kilometres long x 2 kilometres at the widest point. The magnificent beauty is apparent from the moment you spot the Island from the air and the relaxing ambience will sink in just as soon as you land at the quaint domestic airport and your accommodation hosts pick you up.
There is an array of guest lodges, apartments, cottages or mini resorts to choose from, some like Mary Challis cottages have been playing host to visitors for many years offering good, economical seasonal rates whilst some like Cappella Lodge offer the very finest in luxury holiday escapes with relaxed sophistication, intimate surrounds and a restaurant offering contemporary cuisine and first class service.
The town settlement is a small village with just a couple of shops providing general stores, clothes and souvenirs. Whilst there are a few hire cars on the island with a speed limit of 25 kilometre per hour the general mode of transport is walking or push biking.
There is a surprising amount of dining options on the island with good quality food available to dine-in or takeaway from a number of cafe's and restaurants. Holiday activities available include Walking, Swimming, Snorkeling, Diving, Fishing, Golf, Lawn Bowls, Tennis, Museum visit, Bird watching, Bike Riding or Beauty and Spa treatments.
