Capella Lodge, Lord Howe Island
Lord Howe Island is located 600 kilometre's north east of Sydney and is a place of extraordinary contrasts, with rugged volcanic peaks, lush forests and serene lagoons. Encircled by the southern-most coral reef in the world the island was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1982. The Island and its surrounding islets are the eroded remnants of a large shield volcano that erupted from the ocean floor some 7 million years ago.
At its southern end, is Lord Howe Island's signature twin peaks the astonishing Mount Lidgbird and Mount Gower that rise 875 metres high. A tiny gem of a hotel, Capella Lodge encapsulates Lord Howe's natural beauty and is located on a prime spot on the island.
Capella Lodge has just nine guest suites. Guests are treated to personal service, award-winning Pacific cuisine, and from every suite a spectacular view of the lagoon, the ocean and the mountains. If you can tear yourself away from the view you will find your suite is spacious and furnished with king-size beds, premium linens, CD and DVD players. Thoughtful touches are provided too - snorkel gear, beach bags or backpacks and beach towels. The Lodge allows the opportunity to indulge in a gourmet breakfast and a three course dinner featuring freshly caught seafood, organic island produce, and specially farmed meats.
