ISSUE 2 | 2016 46 | LIFESTYLE THE ABSOLUTE BEST BOUTIQUE GETAWAY IN YOUR STATE Discerning travellers tired of typical hotels don’t have to gamble on Airbnb. These boutique accommodation options may not be the easiest to get to, but each offers its own unique take on luxury. BELLS RESORT Killcare, New South Wales Situated on acres of green, luscious garden, Bells Resort is a haven tucked away on the Central Coast. There is a range of East Hampton-style cottages, each with views over the lake and gardens. The resort hosts a day spa, a multi award-winning restaurant and a pool – all the key elements for a perfect quiet getaway. LIZARD ISLAND RESORT Cairns, Queensland Surrounded by tropical palms and deserted white sandy shores, Lizard Island Resort is probably the most exclusive accommodation in Queensland. A national park covering 1013 hectares, with 24 sandy beaches and a lagoon, it is accessible only by private charter from Cairns Airport in northern Queensland. Enjoy secluded picnics, have an unforgettable five-star meal at the Salt Water restaurant and soak in the indulgent spa treatments in the Essentia Day Spa. All with the Great Barrier Reef right at your doorstep. LONGITUDE 131° Yulara, Northern Territory Longitude 131° is located in the spirited heart of Australia, on a secluded sand dune close to the border of the dual World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. This lavish desert camp features 15 tented suites and offers spectacular views of the outback and its wilderness. Though the resort activities may not be numerous – there’s a small pool and guided tours around the Rock – the main attraction is the tranquility, seclusion and the view – especially at dusk, when the colour of Uluru changes with the setting sun. PUMPHOUSE POINT Lake St Clair, Tasmania Pumphouse Point offers a unique experience – exclusivity in location and luxury. A former industrial site, it was restored to offer boutique accommodation within Tasmania’s wilderness. The accommodation is split into two. The Pumphouse Building itself sits 240 metres out on the lake and comprises 12 rooms in total. The Shorehouse Building, a former substation, sits at the water’s edge and has six rooms. It’s the perfect place to bask in the Tasmanian air, reflect, rejuvenate and explore. SKY HOUSE Kangaroo Island, South Australia This villa is located on the highest point of the property with sweeping views of the rugged coastline. Sky House has been voted the number one honeymoon destination in Australia by Australian Traveller magazine and it’s easy to see why. The slow- combustion fireplace, the complete solitude and the private courtyard will delight couples. ST JEROME’S – THE HOTEL Melbourne, Victoria Luxury camping, or glamping, has been taken to new heights at Melbourne’s St Jerome’s – The Hotel. Located on a roof in the heart of Melbourne CBD, 20 swanky canvas tents each have double- or queen-sized beds, pillows, throws and split system air-conditioning. There is even an Esky stocked with local craft beers and other drinks. THE BERKELEY RIVER LODGE Berkeley River, Western Australia This completely secluded wilderness location is accessible only by air or boat. Its 20 luxury one- bedroom chalets have 180-degree views of the ocean or river, while a central main lodge features a restaurant, library and swimming pool. Relax in nature in the open-air en suite and freestanding bathtub. If you’re feeling more active, there are plenty of activities available including boat cruises and fishing trips. 43307_046-047_Lifestyle B_Best Boutique Accom.indd 46 43307_046-047_Lifestyle B_Best Boutique Accom.indd 46 25/10/16 4:13 PM 25/10/16 4:13 PM
