Poinciana Cottages

Nestled in Burnt Pine on Norfolk Island, this family-run cottage sits on the town’s edge with rolling valley and mountain views. It’s close to Norfolk Island Botanic Garden, Mount Pitt, The Arches, Bounty Folk Museum and the Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area, with the airport only a short drive away.

Five separate, fully self-contained cottages (Lavender, Daisy, Rose, Azalea and Gardenia) deliver modern design, private furnished balconies or patios and weekly servicing. Each unit has a full kitchen with full-sized fridge/freezer, stovetop, microwave and coffee/tea maker, plus satellite TV and an iPod dock. The property is family-friendly — children are welcome and cots are available on request — and owners live on site to meet and greet guests.

Expect leafy tropical gardens, a picnic area and barbecue grills for easy outdoor meals. There’s an on-site bar and restaurant, a small library, concierge and a tour desk to book local excursions. Wireless internet is available, and free parking and airport shuttle service are offered for arriving guests.

Practical touches include luggage storage and laundry facilities, plus a complimentary roundtrip airport shuttle. Wireless internet keeps you connected while you plan your island days.

Dine at the cottage’s restaurant and bar to sample local Norfolk Island flavors, or cook in your private kitchen. Outdoor BBQ grills and picnic spots make self-catering a breeze.
