Congratulations to - a beautiful stay we featured in the pages of Stay Awhile Volume 01. Bullo is one of only two hotels in Australia & NZ to be selected in Conde Nast Travellers 2025 ‘Gold List’. A key judging criteria is the emotions these hotels inspire and their connection with land.
Make sure you add this boutique retreat amongst the red dirt to your travel list for 2025.

Fancy island hopping in Australia and New Zealand - Stay Awhile style? We’ve curated a list of lesser-known island gems and the Stays where you can slow down and chill out.

Forget the breakneck pace of the usual tourist traps! Swap speedboats for slow ferries and hotel lobbies for hammocks strung between palm trees. These are places where you can unplug, unwind, and revel in simplicity.

Sometimes, the best luxury is simplicity done right. Tucked away in the coastal wilds of Kangaroo Island, Sol Hus is a Scandinavian-inspired haven where natural light, raw textures, and pared-back beauty reign supreme.

Imagine mornings wrapped in soft linen, the sun spilling in through timber-framed windows as you sip coffee brewed in a kitchen that’s as functional as it is beautiful. Outside, the landscape hums with life—native bushland meeting endless ocean views. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and lean into nature’s rhythms.

50% of the profit from each stay supports ocean conservation through Sol Hus’ partnership with The Australian Ocean Laboratory—so your getaway gives back to the very waters that make this place so extraordinary. 🌊✨

Proudly part of our Beautiful Stays Collection in Volume 03, this dreamy 3-bedroom cabin is where modern luxury meets laid-back charm. Just a 3-hour drive from Melbourne, it’s a designer’s dream tucked near the enchanting Forrest History Walk.

Find adventure chasing renowned mountain bike trails or exploring nearby Lake Elizabeth, and spend your evenings stargazing with marshmallows by the fire pit. Start your mornings sipping lattes by the wood fire before a soak in the blissful outdoor bath. Perfect for adventurers, dreamers, and those who just really love a good bath. And let’s face it, that’s practically everyone.

Who says the Gippsland Lakes can’t do cool? Flipping the script on short-term accomodation, this floating 2-bedroom cabin has a retro-Californian twist that’s as chic as it is unexpected. Think curved walls, floor-to-ceiling glass, and an open-plan layout that screams style. Four hours from Melbourne, but a world away from ordinary.

Morning dips straight off the deck, golden hour cocktails with lake views, and interiors that would make any design aficionado swoon—this retreat has “iconic stay” written all over it. And if you’re planning a group getaway, elopement or a celebration, this spot delivers the vibes.

Nestled in the quiet town of Branxholm, Tasmania, .downtheroad is a refreshing take on countryside accommodation. The collection of three self-contained cabins seamlessly blends luxury with the raw beauty of the Tasmanian wilderness. Constructed from local timbers, each cabin is designed to offer a peaceful retreat, with private outdoor baths and expansive decks providing panoramic views of the surrounding Hops Farm.

Near the world-famous Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trails and the cabins cater to those seeking adventure and those simply looking to unwind. Communal spaces like a fire pit and barrel sauna, invite guests to relax and connect. While the nearby waterfalls and the charming Pyengana Dairy offer opportunities to explore, the real draw is the sense of tranquillity that permeates this little corner of Tasmania.

Proudly part of our BEAUTIFUL STAYS COLLECTION showcased in Volume 03, stay awhile at this captivating, converted fisherman’s shack nestled in Sydney’s secluded Pittwater.

Just an hour from the city yet only accessible by boat, it’s surrounded by a national park with no shops, cars, or roads in sight. It feels like an enchanted escape, where guests can connect with nature – syncing with the tides, gazing at the stars, drifting asleep to the sea, and waking with the sun. Built as a one-bedroom retreat for family and friends, the Shack is adorned with treasures from its owner Ingrid’s travels over 35 years, including pre-loved furniture from flea markets and vintage stores all over the world. The window seat spanning the lounge room is the perfect spot to unwind with a good book, enjoy a playlist, take a nap, or savour a drink.
