Our unique accommodations, Down Under, offer a remarkable blend of comfort, authenticity, and local charm that will leave you longing for more. Let's dive into the eight reasons why you'll fall in love with our hand-picked selection!
1. You will stay in the best of Australia and New Zealand
At TravelEssence, we take great pride in curating a collection of the finest accommodations in Australia and New Zealand. We understand that every traveller has different preferences and desires, so we have hand-picked a range of unique properties that cater to diverse tastes. From luxury lodges nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes to cosy cottages with rustic charm, we've got something for everyone.
2. Feel at home with friendly hosts
One of the key elements that set our accommodations apart is the warm hospitality of our hosts. They are passionate about showcasing the beauty of their region and ensuring your stay is exceptional. They go the extra mile to provide personalised service, sharing their local insights, recommending hidden gems, and creating an atmosphere that makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than a tourist.
3. Unique locations
When it comes to location, we believe in finding those hidden gems that allow you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and local culture. The accommodations are strategically situated in special locations that offer tranquillity, stunning vistas, and proximity to unique attractions. Whether it's a secluded beach front retreat or a countryside lodge surrounded by vineyards, you'll find yourself in the heart of the destination.
4. Away from mass tourism
Escape the crowds and embrace the peace and serenity of hand-picked accommodations. We purposely seek out properties that are tucked away from the hustle and bustle of popular tourist hotspots. You'll have the opportunity to explore lesser-known regions, connect with nature, and experience authentic local life, all while avoiding the typical tourist traps.
5. A local experience
Immerse yourself in the true essence of Australia and New Zealand by staying in accommodations that reflect the local culture and heritage. TravelEssence properties often showcase traditional architecture, Indigenous artwork, and regional cuisine, providing an authentic experience. Whether indulging in a traditional Maori hangi feast or savouring locally sourced produce, you'll get a taste of the local way of life.
6. You don't have to travel far
One of the many advantages of our accommodations is their accessibility. You don't have to spend hours travelling to remote destinations to experience something special. Our hand-picked properties are strategically located within reach of major attractions, allowing you to make the most of your time and explore the surrounding areas without extensive travel.
