Guestbook

'Thank you for creating this little slice of heaven. The magic of Bali Hai is mirrored in the warm hospitality of the charming hosts'.
'An absolutely amazing property. It soothed away every stress and strain in my body!'

Smith tip

Visit during the mango season and pack as many as you can into the ice box. When frozen, mangoes are much easier to slice and are a refreshing poolside snack. Simply take them out of the freezer and peel one half like a banana and the flesh will be soft enough to eat. It’s like eating an icecream (without the calories!) Alternatively, whizz them and make fruit smoothies or Mango Daiquiris.

Bali Hai

Queensland & Great Barrier Reef, Australia[view map]

Style
Remote rainforest refinement
Setting
Tropical North Queensland

Bali Hai is the epitome of stylish self-catering and comprises four Balinese-inspired huts; three of them bedrooms and one the main house. The heady combination of cool stone floors, warm thatched roofs and Indonesian antiques is splendidly arrayed against the backdrop of the spectacular Daintree Mountains. Indulge your inner oligarch and book a poolside full body massage, or float around the infinity pool with a cocktail. More pioneering types might prefer to dip their toes in the nearby natural springs. The huts may be rustic but they don’t stint on the creature comforts. Coco Chanel, that doyenne of style, believed that luxury must be comfortable or else it simply isn’t luxury. Those responsible for this self-catering showstopper evidently agree.
