Lord Howe Island is framed by lush green mountains and unspoilt wilderness

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.

What do our experts say about Lord Howe Island?

There’s so much to love about Lord Howe Island, but one of the more memorable and unique experiences was wading into knee deep water at Ned’s Beach to hand-feed the fish. I couldn’t believe what diversity of fish there was, and it made for plenty of laughs – would be a fantastic experience for families with kids!

What do I love about working at The Tailor?

I enjoy building a special relationship with our clients from all over the world to truly understand their interests and likes before tailoring an Australian itinerary exactly to their needs, including experiences they would have never heard of. Every itinerary is different and presents a new creative challenge, which I love.

City or Wilderness? Why and where?

A little bit of both, that is why I love living in Adelaide. It is only a 5-hour drive from Adelaide and you are in the Flinders Ranges & Outback or just a short 50-minute flight to Port Lincoln to explore the Eyre Peninsula. But I would not want to miss the Adelaide city life with its amazing festivals, art exhibitions & galleries and outstanding restaurants.

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.
