Over the past decade or so, Australia & its just as spectacular neighbour across the Tasman have established a reputation for being two of the most sought-after destinations in the world. This reputation has come about from not only the extraordinary landscapes both countries boast but also the inspirational way Australasian architects & designers have used these landscapes to fashion innovative & memorable places to escape to. This beautifully photographed publication takes you on a visual journey through the most remote of these idyllic getaways, from luxurious but laidback lodges in the Outback to sophisticated eco resorts in the rainforest & sleek retreats by the sea. Some of the destinations are easily recognisable, such as the far-flung but first-class Burrawang West Station & the celebrities' favourite, Huka Lodge in New Zealand; but others are refreshingly lesser known, such as Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Isl&, the culinary hideaway known as the Lake House in country Victoria, & Awaroa Lodge in Awaroa Bay, New Zeal&, a luxury lodge that's only accessible by water, air or an invigorating three-day hike. Whether your taste veers toward the Champagne lifestyle & designs that seduce with their total luxury or the quieter, more tucked away hideaways that offer style, service & solitude in equal measure, Remote luxury
- Top Resorts Down Under will enthrall & delight.
