Pinetrees is a full-service lodge, with up to 35 friendly, helpful and dedicated members of staff. Their job is to ensure you have a memorable holiday, and given about forty percent of our guests return every year, our staff are great at what they do. In addition to genuine personal service, your package rate includes:
Services Included
- full breakfasts
- lunches (either at Pinetrees, gourmet BBQ hamper or packed lunch)
- afternoon teas
- 4-course dinners
- island airport transfers on arrival and departure
- meet and greet on arrival with a short island tour, followed by welcome drinks and snacks
- recommended weekly program of activities to put you in the right place on the right day
- use of all lodge facilities
- no need to shop, cook or clean
- and the perfect balance of exercise, relaxation and indulgence to enjoy one of the best holidays of your life!
For guests who stay for 7 nights or longer (except during Christmas school holidays), your package rate also includes:
- free coral viewing cruise on the Lord Howe Island lagoon
- free cooking class (and tasting) with our expert chefs
- free ‘behind the scenes’ conservation tourism tour
If you visit during one of our event weeks, or book to join one of our specialised groups, you can also:
- challenge yourself on the Seven Peaks Walk, one of the Great Walks of Australia
- ocean swim with Trevor Hendy
- cook, eat and drink with celebrity chefs
- listen to some of Australia’s best musicians, such as ARIA Award winner, Jeff Lang
- enjoy daily yoga classes and other wellness activities
- help with conservation projects on the Australian Geographic Expedition
- refine your photography skills with the help of expert photographers
While you can stay in self-contained accommodation on Lord Howe, groceries are expensive and restaurant options are limited. So you’re best to stay with us and treat yourself to a full-service all-inclusive holiday. In practice, you’ll still buy a good Mecca espresso at breakfast and have a few drinks with dinner, but there’ll be no surprise ‘five-star’ bill when you leave. Visit once, and you’ll see why so many guests return ever year.
