Opening in Hobart in 2021, this establishment is true to the Mövenpick philosophy: comfort, top-of-the-range amenities and impeccable customer service. The location is ideal, a stone's throw from the commercial port and right in the heart of Hobart. Rooms between levels 3 and 18 have a magnificent view of Hobart. We love the excellent breakfast served at Tesoro, the hotel restaurant, as well as the"Free Daily Chocolate Hour" between 3:30 and 4:30 pm. Sports enthusiasts can burn off their calories in the hotel's gym.

For those wishing to spend the night in Pine Creek, we recommend the Railway Resort, with its pleasant swimming pool and greenery that's almost surprising for the location! The historic railroad atmosphere of the bar-restaurant (closed in low season) and decor is very appealing. The Pine Creek station, on the other hand, dates back to 1889 and the gold rush, and ceased to be one in 1976. Time enough to be associated with some pretty fascinating stories, notably during the Second World War.

The Novotel Darwin, like its neighbor the Mercure, both Accor hotels, are located right next to Darwin airport and are the only accommodation options within walking distance. Very convenient, then, when arriving on one of the many flights that land in Darwin at night (this is because Darwin airport, being also a military airport, has no curfew). The Novotel's new swimming pool, one of Darwin's finest, opened in 2024. Perfect for a good cocktail or to cool off before or after a long flight.

Peppers Blue on Blue Resort is located on the water, 25 minutes by ferry from Townsville. Whether you come to Magnetic Island for Relaxation or sports activities, this high-end hotel offers you all the comfort you need. Enjoy a delicious cocktail on the salt lagoon, where you can swim.

The Areca Launceston is a great choice for exploring Launceston and the surrounding area. The hotel is located in a modern building 5-10 minutes from the city center and is very comfortable. Breakfast is not served on site, but small cafés are close by. Reception is shared with the Waratah on York hotel, which is also a very nice accommodation option for those wishing to stay in the charming setting of a Victorian-style house. The staff are always on hand to advise you on your stay in Launceston.

This hotel belongs to the category of charming hotels, with its meticulous decoration and a building that has retained the prestige of its 1909 construction. Each room is individually decorated. "Lola", the hotel's restaurant, is one of Ballarat's finest restaurants. Here you can enjoy breakfast (7.30am-11am), lunch (12pm-2pm Wednesday to Sunday) or dinner (5.30pm-10pm). It's also conveniently close to the train station and Ballarat city center.

The Elandra Resort is a little corner of paradise nestled in tropical vegetation, which has recently undergone a skilful makeover. The 20 rooms are carefully decorated in a modern yet warm style. The views from all rooms and from the pool are simply splendid. To make matters worse, the hotel's restaurant offers top-flight cuisine. The spa and gym are the highlight of a perfect stay in South Mission Beach.

The Castaways Resort's location is certainly one of its strong points: it borders Mission Beach and really gives the impression of being on a tropical vacation, while remaining within easy reach of the restaurants in the center of Mission Beach. The hotel also offers a varied range of accommodation, from rainforest rooms to villas, apartments and beachfront rooms. Excellent on-site restaurant. The Drift Spa provides the final touch of relaxation.

I fell in love with this recently renovated hotel. From the hotel's layout, one might imagine it to be a classic old motel, but a fairy godmother has since come and given the place a complete makeover. We love the details in the well-decorated rooms, such as the selection of books, cocktail glasses and colorful pool towels. A bar is open in the afternoon by the pool. On Friday and Saturday evenings, the Santara restaurant serves fusion cuisine to hotel guests. Spa also on site.

In the heart of Newcastle, a pleasant hotel with vintage charm. The 30 rooms are comfortable and the recent renovation has been a success. The hotel also has a bar and restaurant, and its inner courtyard is a very pleasant place to enjoy a drink or a meal. Make sure you compare prices on the various booking sites to get the best possible deal. A stone's throw from the hotel, you can have a drink or dinner at Bartholomew's (145 King Street) and discover the menu at Momo Wholefood (227 Hunter Street) for brunch.
