Why not allow us to organise your luxury holiday to Australia?

Sydney

Sydney needs little introduction. It can be summarised as a stylish and cosmopolitan city where you will find famous architecture, iconic beaches, vibrant harbours and superb restaurants.

In Sydney, combine sunbathing on the beach with shopping in sophisticated malls and where you can dine alfresco on delicious seafood before working off your lunch by walking over the Sydney harbour bridge or taking your seat in the world-famous Opera House.

The Blue Mountains

West of Sydney, discover the dramatic sandstone cliffs, thundering waterfalls and eucalyptus forested gorges of The Blue Mountains in one of Australia’s most spectacular wilderness parks.

Hunter Valley & Byron Bay

Two hours north of Sydney, the picturesque Hunter Valley is the country’s oldest wine growing region. Visit its vineyards, olive groves and quaint antique shops.

Continuing north towards Brisbane, you will find Australia’s most easterly point, Byron Bay where whales, dolphins, manta rays and surfers share the waves and the sparkling shoreline is topped with the Byron Lighthouse.

Victoria & Tasmania

In Victoria, visit graceful Melbourne with its fine theatres, fabulous art scene and the largest tram network in the world. Only an hour’s drive away is the Mornington Peninsular - boasting over 170 vineyards, this scenic area is dotted with seaside villages, excellent eateries, boutiques and galleries.

Consider a trip to Tasmania with its diverse landscape of wildlife, dense forests, pretty towns, stunning wilderness, modern harbours and pristine beaches.
