Lord Howe Island Holiday Packages
All rates are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include GST.
Standard Inclusions
Our ‘All-Inclusive’ rate includes accommodation, island airport transfers, use of lodge facilities and all meals – full breakfast, lunch (either at Pinetrees, gourmet BBQ hamper or packed lunch), afternoon tea and 4-course dinner. At selected times of the year we also offer a ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rate which includes accommodation, island airport transfers, use of lodge facilities, full breakfast, afternoon tea, 4-course dinner on the night of arrival and evening transport to local restaurants. All accommodation rates exclude drinks, airfares and other applicable levies and taxes.
Bed & Breakfast Rate
There are no cooking or self-catering facilities at Pinetrees, so all ‘Bed and Breakfast’ guests should have lunch and dinner at local cafes and restaurants. ‘Bed & Breakfast’ guests are welcome to book for lunch or dinner at Pinetrees by 9am on the day, although seats are not guaranteed due to high demand. The ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rate is not available for stays in our Chef’s Cottage, Banyan Cottage or Garden Cottages. The ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rate is available for selected dates in Autumn and Spring, not during school holidays. All guests in each room must book the same rate (i.e all guests must be on an ”All-Inclusive’ rate or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rate). Pinetrees will not accept bookings with mixed rates within one room.
Airfares
Pinetrees Travel provides the best available airfares to Lord Howe Island and takes care of the flight bookings for almost all of our guests. Pinetrees Travel does not charge any booking fees to assist guests with flight bookings. Qantaslink has connections from 750 global destinations as part of the One World Alliance. International travellers can sometimes include flights to and from Lord Howe as a part of their international tickets to Australia.
Travel Insurance
As travel to or from Lord Howe Island can be cancelled or delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, we highly recommend travel insurance for all guests. Most flight disruptions are due to weather, so it’s important that you purchase travel insurance that covers the cost of additional accommodation or lost accommodation due to weather. Please double check the policy before you pay.
Check-in & Check-out
Check-in time is 3pm and check-out time is 10am. Early check-ins and late check-outs are sometimes available – please check with Pinetrees staff on the day.
Packages
Packages and special offers can’t be combined. We’ll always find the best package for your requirements. All guests in each room must book the same rate (i.e all guests must be on a ‘All-Inclusive’ rate or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rate).
