Shiralee Executive Cottages  

In Burnt Pine on Norfolk Island — a quietly cool cottage setting within walking distance of Queen Victoria's Garden and the Bounty Folk Museum. Kingston and Arthur's Vale, The Old Watermill and other historic sites are close by, and Norfolk Island Airport is about 1.1 miles away.

Six individually decorated executive cottages with self-catering kitchens (full-size refrigerator/freezer, oven, microwave), private balconies or patios, flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers and ceiling fans. Rooms may include DVD players, bathrobes and en-suite showers, with weekly housekeeping to keep things tidy.

On-site fitness center, mini-golf and a yoga area for active mornings, plus a terrace, garden and barbecue grills for al fresco evenings. There's a library and a bowling club on the grounds, all lending to a neighbours-free, relaxed vibe.

24-hour front desk, luggage storage and laundry/dry-cleaning services. Complimentary roundtrip airport shuttle, free self-parking, tour/ticket assistance and car rental help available. Wireless internet is offered for a surcharge.

Stop by the on-site restaurant for meals, or fire up the barbecue area for a relaxed evening outdoors.
