Business travel is a way of life for many, and whilst there are great city hotels that cater to business travellers, it’s a shame that many of us don’t take enough vacation time to really slow down and savour leisure. We thought we’d feature some of the finest luxury hotels in Australia and New Zealand this month to infect you with the travel bug.
AUSTRALIA
SOUTHERN OCEAN LODGE
Kangaroo Island lies just 15 kilometres off the coast of South Australia and is a short getaway from Adelaide, but it’s a refuge of unique wildlife and natural beauty that has earned a reputation as Australia’s Galapagos. Rather than being intrusive, Southern Ocean Lodge blends into the landscape whilst providing upscale dining and accommodations in addition to unforgettable excursions.
QUALIA
This adults-only luxury hotel on Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays is a haven of tranquillity and a perfect gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. The resort is divided into four distinct precincts, each emphasising a different aspect of relaxation, from sunbathing to dining to the library and spa. At qualia, you can be as active as you want — with diving and sailing excursions aplenty — or take pleasure in doing absolutely nothing.
JACKALOPE HOTEL
Set at the highest point in Byron Shire, Gaia offers spa packages ranging from a two-night recharge to a full week of pampering and resetting. There’s personal training available for fitness, meditation, even art therapy. If you’re really pressed for time, you can take advantage of the day spa, though there’s much to be said for the sense of serenity that gets deeper the more time spent there.

How To Clean Up - Sanitary Franchises To Invest In
It’s a tangible part of this new world we’ve entered after emerging from lockdown. You can smell it in corridors and in shops, and it’s a selling point for hotels reopening. Cleanliness is godliness now, and there is a high demand for sanitary services for the foreseeable future. That makes a cleaning franchise a promising business opportunity. These companies offer it.

SOFT OPENING - CONSUMER CONFIDENCE A KEY FACTOR IN RECOVERY
As states and territories reopened their economies in various phases throughout May and June, it became clear that simply being open is not enough to get firing on all cylinders again. First, there are safety regulations limiting how many patrons a business can serve at a time. Just as important is consumer confidence. If shoppers don’t feel safe visiting a business, they’re not going to, and there’s no forcing them. Some services requiring intimate personal contact have an even harder time with this. Just because someone can get a massage doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with it.

COMING OUT OF OUR CAVES - LIFE IN PUBLIC AS RESTRICTIONS EASE
The pubs reopened to great rejoicing and some free beer as coronavirus restrictions eased across Australia, although unfortunately, it was too late for millions of litres of suds that had to be tipped down the drain. It was strange to be out, but it felt good once you got used to it. Rules vary by state and territory, but over the past several weeks, Aussies have been able to dine out, go to holiday homes, and gather in small groups once more. Lockdown isn’t lockdown anymore, but that doesn’t mean “normal” is back. Here’s where things stand.
