Southern Ocean Lodge
HotelOceania, Australia
From $2,200
Southern Ocean Lodge sits on the limestone cliffs above Hanson Bay, on the wild south-west coast of Kangaroo Island, a short flight from Adelaide. Destroyed by bushfire in 2020, it reopened in late 2023 under its original architect, Max Pritchard, with 23 suites strung along the coastline, a central Great Room and a new four-bedroom Ocean Pavilion. The lodge runs almost entirely off-grid, powered by solar and battery systems and supplied by rainwater and an aquifer, while works by island and South Australian artists fill the interiors. Stays are all-inclusive, with menus built around local growers and fishermen, an open bar, signature island experiences, a spa and transfers included.
Capella Sydney
HotelOceania, Australia
From $750
Capella Sydney occupies the former Department of Education building, an Edwardian Baroque sandstone landmark designed by government architect George McRae in 1912, a short walk from Circular Quay and the Sydney Opera House. After a seven-year restoration by Make Architects and BAR Studio, a modern glass extension now crowns the historic facade, and the 192 rooms and suites pair heritage details with contemporary comfort. Works by Australian artists, including Judy Watson, fill the public spaces, and a cultural program covers Aboriginal history, art and the harbor. On level six, the Auriga Spa and a 20-meter indoor pool occupy the old gallery, while Brasserie 1930 and the ground-floor Living Room set the pace downstairs.
Silky Oaks Lodge
HotelOceania, Australia
From $935
Silky Oaks Lodge sits directly above the Mossman River inside the Daintree Rainforest, with 40 treehouse-style retreats hidden beneath one of the oldest tropical forests on Earth. Private balconies and outdoor baths pull the rainforest into the rooms, while the Treehouse Restaurant hangs over the river and the Healing Waters Spa disappears into the canopy. Swimming and snorkeling in the Mossman River, kayaking, rainforest walks and morning yoga are all part of the stay, with the Great Barrier Reef and Cape Tribulation close enough to turn the lodge into a rare base for experiencing two World Heritage landscapes in one trip.
Swell Hotel
HotelOceania, Australia
From $295
Swell Hotel Byron turns a former roadside motel into a 16-room adults-only hideaway with a distinctly 1970s mood, combining earthy tones, curved forms, woven textures and tropical gardens. Rooms open towards greenery or the pool, while the shared spaces move between a mineral swimming pool, bar, infrared sauna, ice bath and wellness areas for yoga and treatments. Its location is unusually convenient for Byron Bay: the centre is only a couple of minutes away on foot and Belongil Beach is around four minutes away.
