Hand-Picked Hotels & Apartments in Australia

Australia rewards travellers who commit. The distances are enormous, and the payoff is a country that changes character every few hundred kilometres, from the red iron country of the Pilbara to the cold Southern Ocean swell hitting Victoria's south-west coast. You can spend a morning in a compact, walkable city centre and the afternoon somewhere the horizon is completely empty. Come for the beaches, stay for everything behind them.

Our Australian coverage is a set of clusters rather than a map of the whole country, spread across six states and territories. Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane are here, alongside the Gold Coast at Surfers Paradise and Coomera, two separate stays in the Queensland country town of Warwick, and two more at Mandurah, south of Perth. Karratha and Dampier cover the Pilbara. Katherine and Port Fairy sit well beyond either.
