3 magical overnight experiences to enjoy
23 Feb 2016
From sparkling harbour views to rugged mountain ranges and the wild bush, here are some beautiful options to consider on your next trip away.
1. Harbourview apartments at Cockatoo Island, Sydney
Even the most hardened of Sydneysiders will admit that the view of the iconic Harbour Bridge and its sparkling surrounding waters is still a grand sight to behold, especially if you’re lucky enough to enjoy it from a luxury apartment on Cockatoo Island. You can drink in the view from your own private verandah with barbecue facilities and outdoor furniture.
It’s the perfect short getaway. After all, the ferry trip is a mere half hour from Circular Quay.
Accessible only by ferry, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site was where ships were built and convicts were imprisoned in the 19th century (the shark-infested waters ensured escape was rare). There’s also a highly informative audio tour available to visitors, which will take you on a journey through the history of the island.
If you’re on a budget, there are also camping options available on the island, which offers great facilities such as access to hot showers, a communal camp kitchen with BBQs, fridges, microwaves and a boiling water system.

2. The bush at your doorstep in the Kimberley, Western Australia
Who says you have to rough it when you’re exploring the beautiful bush at the Kimberley? The APT Wilderness Lodges offer wonderful glamping options for travellers with luxury tented cabins, complete with ensuites and private decks.
