Howe it’s done - Capella Lodge, Lord Howe Island, Australia

Framed by Kentia palms, on the world’s most southern coral reef, sits Lord Howe Island’s sister property to Southern Ocean Lodge. Capella Lodge is equally as clever in its focus on stunning views of everything natural – here it’s views of the reef, lagoon and enchanting peaks.

Right on your doorstep on Lord Howe Island, the fishing is world class - king fish, trevally, wahoo and tuna. The best time of the year to fish is between November and May and always weather dependent, but this won’t phase real anglers! 4, 6 and 8 hour charters are available on a 9 passenger, purpose-built vessel. Outdoor activities such as walking to the summit of iconic Mt Gower, rated as one of the top day walks in Australia, are available if the swell really prevents a fishing expedition. And remember, there is no mobile coverage on the island!

Capella has a deceptively casual beach-house ambience but rises to the ranks of the opulent with its sumptuous Lidgbird Pavilion. In any season, barefoot luxury is the hallmark of this establishment with its blissful but petite spa and its seductive infinity-edge plunge pool.

Melissa Coles’ favourites are the two-storey Lagoon Lofts, some sporting 270˚ views. In her opinion, the generously inclusive rate is perfect and the lack of mobile coverage is a huge plus on a short break.

CAPELLA PACKAGE INCLUDES: 7 NIGHTS ACCOMMODATION • BREAKFAST & DINNER DAILY & SELECTED WINES • SUNSET DRINKS & CANAPÉS • AIRPORT TRANSFERS • CONCIERGE BONUS PRIVILEGES: SUITE UPGRADE, SUBJECT TO AVAILBILITY, 1 NIGHT FREE & AUD50 SPA CREDIT •
