Warm up this winter on a luxurious stay in Australia

The first day of winter is creeping up. With European summer off the cards, it’s time to embrace the cooler temps and plan a holiday to places with worthy outdoor fire pits. Here’s five of the best luxury hotels in Australia.
Luana Estates – Moonlight dinners in NSW Northern Rivers
Luana Estates is a boutique plantation home with a Byron-Hawaiian twist, boasting five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Within 20 minute from Ballina Airport, Luana Estates offers the best of the Northern Rivers region – natural beauty and seclusion. The property features a stone fireplace in the open-living lounge and a fire pit under the alfresco dining to enjoy under the moonlight.

Sip wine by the fireplace in Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Perched atop a valley in Adelaide’s wine region, Pavilions at Lenswood offers boutique accommodation for couples at its two properties, Ruhe and Merak. Here you can enjoy the open wood fireplace with a glass, or bottle of wine from the cellar door you visited during the day.
Wild Luxury in Palm Beach, Sydney’s Northern Beaches
Hanging in the lush canopy of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Crane Lodge is a five bedroom, five and a half bathroom boutique property immersed in 360 degrees of lush wilderness. An hour’s drive from Sydney, Crane Lodge transports guests to a world away from the hustle of the CBD and working life. With sustainability and the environment at its heart, Crane Lodge was designed to encourage guests to spend as much time in nature, including an open fire pit overlooking the canopy. Prices from $3000 per night

Warm up from Tasmania’s winter temps
