Arrival: After a short 2 hour flight in a Dash 8 the warm welcome was like returning to old friends. A short trip in a Tarago type vehicle, with a couple of points of interest highlighted and we were ushered onto the side deck for a welcome drink and welcome snack. After a brief spell allowing us to collect our... more

What an outstanding experience! The staff at Capella Lodge are remarkable, they remember your name and know what you want before you ask. Your suite is beautifully appointed with lovely touches, from the beautiful linens to the fragrant essential oils filling your room each evening - the view from your balcony is breathtaking. The food is fabulous - each evening... more

What a find! Our week at Capella was one of the best holidays we have ever had. The lodge itself is beautifully appointed, having undergone a major renovation recently. The main dining area has fantastic views of the twin volcanic peaks of Mount Gower and Mount Lidgbird. I think this is the only lodge on the island to have these... more

This property is amazing in every way! Of the thousands of properties we have stayed at over many, many years we cannot recall one as good as this. Firstly, we were greeted at the airport by the managers who are exceptionally friendly and helpful. We weren't allowed to help at all, they did everything. Once we arrived at the resort,... more

Capella was beyond our expectations. Amazing property with incredible views and great facilities, we treated it like our own beach house. The food by chefs Matt and Phil was out of this world and Mark and Libby the managers went out of their way to make us feel welcome and helped to arrange our daily activities. Capella is in a... more

I probably can't say enough wonderful things about the Capella Lodge or Lord Howe island. My husband and I spent 5 nights there for our honeymoon, and didn't want to leave. From the greeting at the airport to farewell 5 days later, everything was perfect. The lodge is small, but charming and has incredible views. The food was better than... more

Yep it's expensive and worth every cent. The meals were faultless and creative - incredible sorbets!!! rooms are simple and tastefully decorated. the verandahs have... more

The Capella is nice, but it's about what you would expect for the cost of the room. Honestly, the location is the best part of staying there. You are situated on the north side of the island and most of the rooms have amazing views of the nearby mountains. Additionally, you are very close to many beautiful walks/hikes. The couple... more
