  • Reward yourself with lifes enriching experiences...

  • Our Australasia brochure showcases the very best of the regions diverse landscape, its beaches, islands and vibrant cities. Here you will find a select portfolio of outback properties, private bush camps (many of which are remote, often wild, and difficult to reach), breath taking beach locations, luxury islands, small lodges and boutique city hotels.

    In Australia feel the thunder of hooves as you traverse vast outback stations, inhale the sea air as you walk a scenic coastal path and listen to the ancient tales of an Aboriginal story teller under a starlit sky. Watch kangaroos bound through wild grasslands, savour local vintages in an urban bistro or charter a yacht across the Great Barrier Reef. Even in the most remote locale, exceptional accommodation and a friendly face await.

    Active volcanoes, island sanctuaries and history top the list when visiting New Zealands North Island. Journey through landscapes that blend magnificent coast, sprawling farmlands and geothermal wonders where Maori culture is rich and ever-present. A palette of dramatic scenes, New Zealands South Island hosts the purest natural landscapes youll ever experience, showcasing the very best of natures assets. Towering alps meet peaceful sounds, rugged coastlines merge with sweeping plains and you will meet some of the most down-to-earth locals youll ever encounter.

    Finally snorkel through crystalline waters of one of Fijis many tropical island paradises. Stroll along a sugar sand beach as a gentle breeze ruffles the fronds of the towering coconut palms or glide high above the archicepelago in a hot air balloon. The choices of ways to indulge, unwind and rejuvinate are boundless

    Please do enjoy the contents of our brochure; we very much hope it gives you inspiration for your next adventure.

    Travel well.

  • Surfers riding a frothing wave toward Bondi Beach. Kangaroos bounding through wild grasslands. Diners savouring local vintages in an urban bistro. All of this is Australia. But its only the beginning of the story.

    Feel the thunder of hooves as you canter across a vast outback sheep station. Inhale the salty tang of sea air as you walk a scenic coastal path. Delight in the thrum of a helicopter rotor as you travel to undiscovered places. Listen to the ancient tales of an Aboriginal storyteller under a starry sky.

    With countless species of plants and animals, Australia exerts a magnetic pull on nature lovers. Whether youre enjoying the dawn chorus of parrots, photographing a sleepy koala in a eucalyptus tree, or chuckling at a parade of little penguins, youll feel as though youre starring in a nature documentary.

    For the urban adventurer, Australias cosmopolitan cities are unparalleled places to relax, indulge and play. Attend an avant-garde play in sophisticated Melbourne. Shop for designer fashions in Sydney. Immerse yourself in Adelaides thriving culinary scene. Revel into the small hours on the glittering Gold Coast or enjoy the laid-back beach culture of Perth.

    Enjoy a new era of Australian experiential luxury. Now, even in remote locales, you can stay in exceptional accommodations, from exquisite historic buildings to tented camps serving gourmet fare. Unwind with a massage in the luxe spa of a city hotel or savour a cooking class in a wine country retreat. Everywhere, service is superb; in many properties the owners are on site.

    City or country. Mountain or island. Rainforest or vineyard. Spa or trail. The diversity of uniquely Australian places is endless--and with luxurious options abounding, theres never been a better time to visit.
