Heading towards the up-coming breaks and long weekends, your mind may be wandering off thinking about reconnecting with yourself and escaping work and the big cities and instead indulge yourself in a luxurious retreat; even just for a few days. Australia is well-known as an eco-friendly country that takes pride in its natural habitat. In the past few years, the eco-movement has arrived in fashion, food, and now the hotel industry.
Wondering where to escape and relax in a nice eco-luxe hotel? The Daintree Ecolodge in Queensland, The Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia, and The Freycinet Lodge in Tasmania are just a few eco-luxe hotels that will make you feel the desire to pack everything and runway.
