Arajilla Retreat

From the time we were picked up at the LHI Airport to the day of our departure the staff went above and beyond….. The reception girls/restaurant girls made us feel at home and were always cheerful and informative. James made sure all aspects of our visit were met with the ultimate positive outcome. Good food, wine and drinks were the order of the day…every day. Make sure you do the in house BBQ experience. We will be back…. This Island has so much more to offer and the Arajilla Retreat made our first visit a lifetime memory. Thanks Guys Barry and Suzanne Purchase (Feb 2025)

Relax in a world heritage site A very relaxing stay which allowed us to get in touch with nature. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The manager who picked us up at the airport took us for a short tour of the island before we checked in. It set a tone for the stay.

Luxury, excellent accomodation, wonderful staff, gourmet meals by very imaginative chef which are varied and experimenting with new tastes. Laundry, bikes, beach towels, snorkelling gear all provided. Canapés and pre dinner cocktails, good choice of wines with meals. Set in private Kentish palm “forest” gardens and well maintained.

My husband, son and I stayed at Arajilla for five nights recently. I concur with all the other positive reviews, and particularly wish to praise the professionalism and warmth of the entire staff, and the spacious, modern, very comfortable accommodations. But what must be highlighted is the food. The dinners were absolutely five star all the way and I still don't understand how such an intimate resort, with food deliveries only once every two weeks, could produce such consistently fabulous food, in terms of taste, presentation, freshness and variety. To say we were blown away is an understatement; I actually started taking photos of the food, which I normally don't do, because I was so amazed. The day we departed Arajilla, we dined at Bennelong at the Sydney Opera House, and all three of us agreed that the food at Arajilla was better. Huge thank you to Arajilla and its chefs for an exceptional vacation.

We had the perfect week at the Arajilla Retreat on Lord Howe Island. The staff are excellent and super friendly. We had a couple of massages and I would highly recommend booking before you arrive to ensure you get in. We were fully inclusive and the food was amazing. A highlight was a beach BBQ which was delivered to a beach of our choosing for us to cook. Thank you Arajilla, we can't wait to come back

The food was incredible! James picked us up from the airport and showed us around the island which was really lovely and great to get an overview of what’s where.
