Border Town

If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in the Australian bush, then this hilltop lodge is perfectly suited. With beautiful views over the Kanimbla Valley, you'll find the local kangaroos are the only interruption here. Inside, there's a cosy cabin feel, with plenty of homey decorative details and a toasty wood burner for added comfort – but it's the outside areas that really caught our eye. The private plunge pool and decked terrace are a real standout, while the fire pit area is a lovely spot to stargaze later on. There's also a separate games room cabin, equipped with a pool table and fireplace. And, for the ultimate self-care treatment, pay an added extra to make use of the fabulous on-site spa facilities.
