Cool spots to stay in Australia (Part B)
- JR’S HUT, GUNDAGAI, NSW
A farm hut has never looked this good. In fact, the owners of JR’s Hut go as far to say “there’s nothing like this in the world”. Set on a 7000ha working farm, Kimo Estate, the architecturally designed eco hut is totally off grid, yet has everything you need including solar power, log heater, barbecue and bathroom with spectacular views.
- THOUSAND LAKES LODGE, LIAWENEE, TAS
Tourism is booming in Tassie and so are its unique accommodation options. Thousand Lakes Lodge, located in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area,is a fast-rising star, having just been named as one of the world’s top three new places to stay in 2018 by Lonely Planet.
- THE LODGE, ST JEROME’S THE HOTEL, MELBOURNE, VIC
The pioneer of the rooftop glamping trend in Australia, St Jerome’s The Hotel has stepped up the luxury with its newest accommodation option, The Lodge. The 6m bell tents are the cream of the crop at the inner-city campsite atop Melbourne Central Shopping Centre. They feature two spacious wings, enough room for a couch, queen bed and storage space.
- MILE END GLAMPING, YELVERTON, WA
It’s a new twist on the quintessential Australian experience – a dome among the gum trees. Mile End Glamping is a series of futuristic domes surrounded by native bushland in the Margaret River region. The light-filled geodesic domes include a bathroom, kitchen, four-poster king bed, and deck with private spa bath and barbecue.
