Closer to New Zealand but technically a territory of Australia, Norfolk Island is a pine-filled paradise with plenty of well-appointed lodgings in the heart of nature read more...
Central convenience in Burnt Pine
The heart of the tiny Norfolk Island – which is home to some 2,000 residents at only 34 square kilometres in size – is the commercial centre of Burnt Pine. The quaint township is concentrated around Taylor's Road and is touted as something of a shopper's seventh heaven, thanks to the absence of mainland duties and taxes.
Stay close to this bustling hub of shops and cafes at the exclusive Broadleaf Villas – a collection of just five self-contained deluxe or superior villas – or the cosy Governor's Lodge Resort Hotel, boasting 55 single bedroom lodges and four spacious stays ideal for families.
Island indulgence amid the pines
What better way to truly take advantage of your secluded island stay than by checking in to a luxury retreat? Spoil yourself among the spoils of nature with personalised service, extra privacy, pampering spa treatments and breathtaking views across the South Pacific.
The pinnacle of premium Norfolk Island accommodation is the 5-star Tin Sheds, with just three exclusive and stylish self-contained apartments merely minutes from the Burnt Pine precinct. There are a number of 4-star dwellings on the island too, including the boutique Cumberland Resort & Spa, presenting a range of spa-inclusive suites from one to five bedrooms in size.
A cottage stay with an ocean view
Norfolk Island is blessed with a bounty of natural beauty, from the rich diversity of the National Park to the windswept coastline encircling the territory. Many Norfolk Island hotels take advantage of their spectacular backdrop and are still conveniently located next to all the amenities your holiday could require, close to the main centres of Burnt Pine or Kingston.
Book your stay at one of the cottage retreats on the island to enjoy the famous "bygone era" hospitality and way of life for the locals. The 4-star Ocean Breezes Cottages are within walking distance of the Burnt Pine attractions, while the Poinciana Cottages are a cosy stay just a little further from the township.
