Out and about nearby

700km North East of Sydney, and just 11km long by 2.8km at its widest point, Lord Howe Island is the frontier landmass of the State of New South Wales in the South Pacific Ocean. Breathtakingly beautiful, it was rightly included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1982. Here, UNESCO recognised the island's incredible natural assets of a reef-fringed lagoon, rolling surf, and the southern-most Coral Reef found anywhere in the world. Such status came hand in hand with exclusivity. Lord Howe Island has just 300 permanent residents, and tourists are strictly limited to 400 at any one time. Even more impressive still, 75% of the island has been preserved as a National and Marine Park.For guests staying at Capella Lodge, this means an intimate encounter with pristine rainforest and exceptional marine life on the coral reef environment. Hike, cycle, or golf buggy through the untouched island, savouring the vistas of the deep blue South Pacific, and the deep green Twin Peaks of Lord Howe. On the water, dive into the crystal-clear waters for an impossibly unique amalgamation of rich marine life. Or simply relax, rejuvenate and unwind in the spectacular scenery, immaculate luxury, and tropical climate of the South Pacific's best kept secret.

About New South Wales and Sydney

An Expressions tailor-made holiday to New South Wales and Sydney encompasses all of Australia’s diversity, with lush rainforests, isolated outback landscape and Alpine country, combined with rich Aborigine and European history. Sydney is a vibrant cosmopolitan city, with excellent beaches and culture. The land stretches out from the city to the mystical Blue Mountains, and beyond that to the wine country of the Hunter valley and the arid desert. Along the coast, resort towns utilise the golden sands and warm climate, but south of the city it is possible to find a little more seclusion in the more picturesque and less developed coastal towns.

Highlights of New South Wales and Sydney

Circular Quay for magnificent panoramas of the Sydney harbour, Experience Sydney’s beach culture at Bondi Beach, Wildlife and wilderness in the Blue Mountains, Yulefest in July in the Blue Mountains – complete with log fires and yuletide trimmings for a ‘traditional Christmas’, Skiing in the Snowy Mountains, Visit the outback and the beautiful Mutawintji National Park in the far northwest of the state, The unspoilt south coast and its fishing villages, Vineyard tours in the Hunter Valley.
