Capella Lodge | Lord Howe Island NSW Luxury Lodge

Main Information

Lord Howe Island is one of Australia’s most inspiring destinations, and Capella Lodge is its most exclusive residence. With astonishing ocean and mountain views, it makes for the perfect base to explore this remarkable and little-visited island.

Capella is a boutique nine-suite lodge that carries all the hallmarks of luxurious beachside living, perched above Lord Howe Island’s spectacular Lover’s Bay. The visual drama is compelling: floor-to-ceiling windows allow Lord Howe’s signature subtropical forests, the towering twin peaks of Mounts Gower and Lidgbird, and the jewel-toned reef to take centre stage.

The Lodge’s contemporary style and streamlined luxury – interiors in muted colours with hints of modern tropical and mariner chic – is beautifully matched with exceptional dining and first name service.

Lord Howe Island

Surrounded by the southern-most coral reef, Lord Howe Island is home to an array of vibrant coral and fish species. Described by the UNESCO Word Heritage List in 1982 as a rare and unique beauty, rich in history and folk-lore.

Lord Howe Island enjoys a very mild and consistent climate all year round.

Dining

Capella’s reputation as Lord Howe’s knock-out dining destination is far-reaching, with the Lodge’s contemporary Pacific cuisine a tribute to the superb quality and fresh flavour.
