Mary Challis Cottages, Lord Howe Island

Make the most of your holiday on Lord Howe Island by enjoying the hospitality at Mary Challis Cottages. Right opposite Lagoon Beach – perfect for an early morning dip, and secluded in the palm forests, Mary Challis has two, one-bedroom self-contained cottages with covered decks, fully equipped kitchen, television, radio, library and BBQ. Mary Challis is close to the shops, beaches, bowling club and restaurants. Seasonal rates available.

Deceptively handy to the closest amenities, to eat out, the bank, liquor store, cafe and general store and the hospital is right next door. All within a five minute walk and the beach is over the road. A really peaceful place with a noticeable lack of noise. Mary Challis Cottages are simple but functional and very clean. The hosts are more than happy to help with queries yet you rarely see them. The woodhens and chooks that wander in, the cow and the horse that graze in the paddock all add to the relaxing atmosphere. Being on the island can be expensive but being in a self contained cottage means that you can eat in most nights. There are some start up supplies when you arrive which can be very helpful. The cottages are very much in keeping with the atmosphere of the island.

Pristine wilderness without a single footprint in sight, the sparkle of cosmopolitan high rise on the waters edge, the adrenalin pumping roar of a powerful surf beach, or quite simply the perfect white squeaky sand that squelches between your toes. See our short list of Australia's best beaches.
