50 luxe escapes

Poolside relaxation at its best at Mountfield, in the NSW South Coast region. Turn the page to read more about it and 49 other amazing properties.

As we increasingly opt to holiday at home and enjoy the delights Australia has to offer, what is it we now consider luxurious? Is it only the traditional five-star hotel, or are we also feeling nurtured by more quiet or quirky experiences? luxury, more than ever, is a feeling or a moment: a well-considered interior, a salty ocean swim or a delicious meal made with fresh regional produce. From helicopter charters and fly-fishing to glamping and decadent spa treatments, here are 50 inspired destinations from around the country, unique and enriching travel escapes that may not be so very far from your own front door...

01 MOUNTFIELD

South Coast

A Contemporary Hotels property, Mountfield is a newly renovated holiday home on the rolling slopes of Woodhill Mountain. It has elegant, wide verandahs and an alfresco pizzeria. The house offers truly spectacular views, from the escarpment right down to the sea, and for those guests who can bear to drag themselves away from the glorious pool, or the snooker room, it’s only a short drive to Drawing Room Rocks, a popular bushwalking trail. Mountfield sleeps up to 10 guests, and the open kitchen and butler’s pantry are perfect for any would-be chefs – the managers have lots of insider tips about where to buy the best local produce in nearby Berry, including sausages and craft beer. contemporaryhotels.com.au/properties/ mountfield-berry
