About Lord Howe Island

An island like nowhere else.

There are beautiful islands, and then there is Lord Howe Island.

World Heritage listed and surrounded by clear blue water, coral reef, dramatic mountains and pristine beaches, Lord Howe Island is a place that invites you to slow down and experience nature at its best.

Part of what makes the island so special is its sense of space and seclusion. Lord Howe Island limits tourist accommodation to just 400 visitors at any one time, helping to protect its extraordinary natural environment while preserving the peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere that makes being here feel so unique.

There are no crowds to escape and no need to rush. Instead, you’ll find quiet beaches, uncrowded walking trails and plenty of places where it feels like you have a little piece of the island all to yourself.

Days here don’t need to be complicated.

Ride your bike to the beach. Walk through palm forests. Snorkel in the lagoon. Climb a mountain. Stop somewhere for lunch. Spend the afternoon on the sand. Watch the sun disappear behind the horizon.

At Hunter Bay House, we want to help you experience not only the well known highlights, but also the quieter places and simple moments that make Lord Howe Island so special.
