The increasingly sophisticated Australian traveller who values unique, local travel experiences is also travelling for longer periods as well as spending more on accommodation with an average total spend of US$1,250, nearly doubling that of the average luxury traveller.
Domestic travel is still strong amongst Australians. Wine regions such as Margaret River in Perth and Tasmania are becoming popular destinations with the surging interest in the Australian food and wine trips for both locals and international visitors. SLH hotels are present in these two destinations. SLH’s seven exclusive sanctuaries in Australia are rich in nature, local history, gourmet produce and warm hospitality. These seven properties include Berkeley River Lodge, Berkeley River; Bloomfield Lodge, Cairns; Injidup Spa Resort, Margaret River; Smiths Beach Resort, Margaret River; The Dudley Boutique Hotel, Daylesford; Thorngrove Manor Hotel, Adelaide and Woodbridge on the Derwent, Tasmania.
