In early 2010, eleven of Australia’s leading independent high-end tourism property owners joined together to form Luxury Lodges of Australia Ltd, a not-for-profit, member-owned, marketing association to promote both domestically and internationally the uniquely Australian breed of luxury experiential hospitality found in their  individual lodges.  Shorty thereafter, an additional four lodges joined the membership, and Luxury Lodges of Australia launched its website and marketing programs with fifteen properties in June 2010. Currently, there are 19 members, including 18 lodges and 1 yacht.

The member properties represent both long-established and new lodges and camps, with a common theme of offering guests an outstanding experience connected to a clear sense of place – while ensuring the highest international luxury standards for service, décor, food, wine and ambiance.

Ranging from wilderness lodges to vineyard retreats and dining destinations; island hideaways to luxe outback camps; each of the properties demonstrate high levels of innovation and are created and operated to be the ‘best’ in sharing their unique region in Australia with all guests.
