Lord Howe Island: an island entire of itself
"Capella, revamped in 2009, is styled on the lines of a contemporary Aussie beach house, all sharp angles, pale weatherboard, timber decking and huge windows. It has a spa, an excellent restaurant and nine smart-casual suites of differing sizes, each equipped to a high spec. It's one of the most expensive billets on Lord Howe and to my mind the best; it certainly commands the best views."
