5. Elements of Byron, Byron Bay
Why we love it: It’s brand new (opening in 2016), a killer location right on the beach, a lagoon pool you’ll find it hard to drag yourself away from (bag yourself a cabana and make yourself at home, complete with poolside cocktails), stylish villas and a great onsite restaurant.

6. Barossa Pavilions, Barossa Valley
Why we love it: Spectacular views over the valley, back-to-nature vibes, generous provisions of local produce and supplies (think wine, chocolate and brekkie goods like mushrooms, eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes and more) and total privacy in your one of only six chalets.

Why we love it: Chic design, proximity to shopping heaven on Chapel Street, a beautiful pool, a great bar and restaurant and that feeling you’re staying in an art gallery, in a nod to its namesake John Olsen.
