InterContinental, Sydney
There are few places in Australia more iconic than Sydney Harbour, and the InterContinental’s location on the harbour’s edge is one of its top selling points. The hotel’s suites, which cost as much as $6500 a night and have accommodated world leaders and A-List celebrities, can’t help but wow you with stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney
Stylish and colourful, the Shangri-La Hotel excels at providing a luxurious retreat away from the bustle of the world’s most stunning harbour city. The Altitude Restaurant, which sits high at Level 36, has floor to wall windows that makes dining here a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. Meanwhile the Royal Suite, at $5000 a night features a grand piano, living room and executive study.

Four Seasons Hotel, Sydney
A limousine service direct from the airport to the Four Seasons is the only way to arrive if you’ve booked yourself in to the Presidential Suite. This $6000 a night room has a dining room for 10, two bedrooms, an extensive lounge and of course, fantastic views of the surrounding Sydney Harbour.

Park Hyatt, The Rocks
A sofa and TV in the bathroom, an outdoor terrace with dining room, and a 60” LED television are just a few highlights of the Park Hyatt’s premier suite. Believed to cost as much as $12000 a night, it’s the city’s most expensive and exclusive suite – and just as lavish as you’d expect.

VOYAGES LONGITUDE 131, Near Uluru NT
‘Luxurious’ and ‘tent’ aren’t two words that usually go together, but Longitude 131 has managed to tame this contradiction. Offering all the perks and amenities of regular city hotels with the incomparable beauty of natural surroundings, a stay at Longitude 131 is yours for just $1800 a night.

Lizard Island Resort, Lizard Island QLD
A regular feature in Top 10 Hotels of the World lists, the wonder of the Lizard Island Resort is rivalled only by its location amongst the Great Barrier Reef. The price of private paradise begins at $1444 for a twin share although Villas and Suites are also available.

Palazzo Versace, Gold Coast, QLD
With a guest list that includes the likes of Rod Stewart, U2 and Hugh Jackman, the Palazzo Versace has made quite the impression in just over a decade of being open. The hotel is perfect for guests that aren’t intimidated by opulence and extravagance and a chauffeur car from Brisbane is the ideal way to arrive in style. The two and three bedroom condominiums have their own private plunge pools, although those staying in the more modest $410 per night rooms will be forced to share the splendid ‘Water Salon’.

Orpheus Island, Great Barrier Reef, QLD
A simple Brisbane airport transfer to Townsville allows you to begin your Orpheus Island experience with a scenic flight transfer over stunning turquoise waters. Beachfront Villas start at $2800 per night for four guests and include daily experiences (sunset cruise, island tour or snorkeling for example) as well as gourmet food and use of motorised dinghies, kayaks and catamarans making this the perfect experience for those looking for adventure or relaxation.

Jonah’s, Whale Beach, NSW
Jonah’s specialises in indulgence, whether in your Ocean Retreat Room, which include a spa bath and private balcony, or at Purity Pacific, a beauty and spa service with a difference. Couples can stay with breakfast and a three-course dinner from $700 a night.

Game Fishing – Bermagui, NSW

The Bermagui River provides excellent game fishing opportunities with marlin and several species of tuna and shark up for grabs throughout most of the year. While the river may be at its liveliest when warm temperatures encourage a rise in bait fish such as pilchards and mackerel, the human population of the town and surround caravan parks never exceeds much more than 2,000.

Kayak Fishing – Blackwood River, WA

For some spring fishing there are few better spots in Western Australia than the Blackwood River, which is easily accessible from Bridgetown. Black Bream is the catch of the day along this stretch of river, although it’s also stocked with rainbow trout. The fish here are strong, so you may need a 6lb line and 6lb leader to give yourself a fighting chance of success.

Game Fishing – Exmouth, WA

A place on a charted boat for a full day of game fishing starts at as little as $440, which includes the use of all the fishing gear you need. If you’re the type of fisherman that likes things taken care of for you why not arrange a limo service to take you to this tranquil town straight from the airport? If you’re after a great way to catch billfish, locals suggest a ‘tease and switch’ tactic is an effective yet thrilling method.

Reef Fishing – Cairns, QLD

If you don’t want the isolation that some Australian fishing spots offer, Cairns is a fantastic location for reef fishing, especially since prices start at a very reasonable $190 for a full day charter. Reef fishing off the coast provides opportunities to catch magnificent coral trout, nannygai and sweetlip. Chartered boats are available from Cairns itself, although you can save yourself a bit of money by taking a boat from nearby Port Douglas instead. While heavy hand lines are recommended, although effective fishing with a rod and reel isn’t out of the question.

Shore fishing – Hearsons Cove, Karratha

Hearsons Cove is half an hour from Karratha and is a beautiful place if you fancy barbecuing those fish you land. While there’s plenty of bream to catch, the cove isn’t overpopulated with fishermen as it’s only fishable at high tide, and finding your way here can be tricky. If you’re unsure about where this relatively hidden gem is, chauffeured transport here is your best bet – it’ll also allow you to relax with a couple of beers.

Gulf fishing charters – Sweers Island, QLD

If you eat, sleep and breathe fishing there’s perhaps no better place to be than Sweers Island, a 7km long island with rock reef in abundance. Over two dozen species of fish are regularly caught at Sweers Island including barramundi and red emperors. An airport transfer from one of Australia’s main transport hubs to the island’s tiny airport is the best way to get here. $350 a night includes accommodation, meals, boat charters and plenty of fishing equipment.

Bay Fishing – Port Lincoln, SA

Fishing at Port Lincoln is great all year for snapper, salmon, garfish and other species, although if you’re after kingfish you’ll need to be here from late spring to summer. Some of the best areas to fish in are in the National Parks, but you need entry permits to get here. As with many of Australia’s best fishing spots local knowledge is priceless – someone that can act as a tour guide can make a tremendous difference.

Trout fishing – Snowy Mountains, NSW

Renowned as New South Wales’ top fishing region, the Snowies is perfect for fly or bait lure. The Thredbo and Snowy River are full of activity from October to June while Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene are just two spots that are fantastic all year round. To make the most out of this fishing paradise sign up to one of the local fishing tours – a private one day tour will set you back about $650.

Barramundi Fishing – Melville Island, NT

Melville Island is one of the most exclusive spots for fishing in Australia – there are only a few fishing lodges here and one accommodates a maximum of 18 people at any one time. The barramundi here are big and bite all year long, although a week’s fishing doesn’t come cheap, starting at just under $7,000 – however, that does include airport transfers to and from the island as well as quality fishing tackle.

And where better than the beautiful continent of Australia, home to some of the most amazing Eco-accommodation the world has to offer. Eco resorts offer an Ecologically friendly alternative to the boutique hotel – combining sustainability with luxury; some even offer your own personal limo service!

When picking an Eco resort, make sure it’s been awarded ECO Certification. This means that the hotel is environmentally, socially and Economically sustainable.  There are three levels of ECO Certification: Nature Tourism, Eco-tourism and Advanced Eco-tourism. Here are some of Australia’s best Eco resorts that have been awarded the highest ECO Certification:

The picturesque resort of O’Reilly’s is nestled on the edge of the World Heritage Lamington National Park. Its Rainforest Retreat, Villas and Lost World Spa have all been built with sustainability in mind, but it’s most famous for its interpretative discovery program, which teaches its guests about the spectacular surrounding rainforest and mountain area.

Thala Beach Lodge was constructed on a private headland surrounded by vibrant rainforest and the exquisite Great Barrier Reef, is as serious about Ecology as it is about luxury and located just 1 hour north of Cairns. With its own private beach and sanctuary, the Thala Beach Lodge works to conserve its surroundings, allowing local wildlife to flourish.

Set in the world’s oldest living rainforest, the award winning Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa describes itself as “a unique hideaway”. Its guests stay in luxurious ‘Bayans’ (tree houses) that look out over the wild rainforest. The lodge offers guided tours of the area with local Aborigines, relaxing spa weekends and even an airport transfers service from Cairns airport.

The Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island prides itself on setting the benchmark for Eco tourism over twenty years ago. Its luxurious rooms sit lightly on the earth, without affecting the surrounding wildlife. You can relax in the magnificent surroundings or take advantage of the resort’s chauffeured transport, with four-wheel drive tours of the local beauty spots.

Paradise Bay on the Whitsunday Islands offers just that – paradise. After arriving by helicopter, guests relax with a glass of champagne whilst looking out of the sparkling sea. During the day you can snorkel, go turtle spotting or just chill out with a cocktail. It’s paradise with a sustainable twist.

Located on the edge of the Great Otway National Park, the vast grounds of Great Ocean Ecolodge are home to kangaroos, koalas and native birds. The breathtaking views mean guests don’t even have to leave their bedrooms to experience the awe-inspiring local wildlife.

Tanonga, in South Australia, is set amongst a regenerating forest and offers a unique and sensitive experience. Guests have the opportunity to see some of Australia’s rarest birdlife, who have been encouraged to the area by the careful replanting of the surrounding forest.

These are just some of our dream locations to visit; they are just a handful of the more well-known eco resorts in Australia.  There is much more available and we suggest checking out the full list on EcoTourism.org.au.

Perfect for Family Travel
Executive Transfers limo service is the perfect transportation for a family trip to Brisbane as well. They’ll get your entire family around town in style, whether it’s just a party of four or five or you’re having a family reunion with 100 of your closest relatives in attendance! Executive Transfer’s experienced drivers can arrange just the right car to suit your party size and they’ll always be professional and arrive on time. There’s nothing more enjoyable than a comfortable ride from a Brisbane limousine service back to the hotel after a long day at one of Brisbane’s many attractions.

Flexible for Business Needs
If business is your reason for traveling to the Brisbane area, a limousine service is also a great idea. Executive Transfers can arrange your airport transfer, and give you a quiet ride to your hotel, conference or business meeting without the stress of waiting in taxi or shuttle bus lines. You might even get a little work done on the ride, if you’d like. Or, use this free time to check in with your family or the office back home.

During your business trip, you can use Executive Transfer’s limousine service as much or as little as you like. You only pay for what you use, unlike rental cars, which you pay for every day, all day, even though you may use them only once or twice during your stay. And, with an Executive Transfer’s limo service, it’s easy to share the ride. We can provide one of our fleet cars just for you and one other colleague on one day, and a stretch limo to take clients out to dinner the next. We’re completely flexible according to your needs each day of your travels. And, you won’t have to remember to fill up on the way back to the airport the way you would with a rental car.

Many people consider limousine services only for airport and corporate transfers, but the savvy business traveler uses limo services for the entire trip, particularly when traveling in an unfamiliar area or in a congested town like Brisbane. Because you use Executive Transfers only when you need them and because sharing the ride is so easy, their services are budget friendly, too.
