The White House  

Set in Burnt Pine on Norfolk Island, this family-friendly guesthouse sits close to Ball Bay Reserve and Two Chimneys Reserve. Guests are minutes from Ball Bay, Two Chimneys Winery, Bounty Folk Museum and other island sights, with Norfolk Island Airport (NLK) about 7 km away.

Five individually decorated rooms blend coastal comfort and luxe details — think fireplaces, private furnished balconies and in-room spa tubs. Rooms feature pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton, full kitchens (full-sized fridge, oven, stovetop), 40-inch LED TVs and in-room computers with wired and wireless internet.

Relax at the full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, or unwind in the sauna, hot tub and fitness center. The property also has indoor and outdoor pools, a library, bowling club, picnic and barbecue areas, a tour desk and a roundtrip airport shuttle. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the nearby beaches and golf course.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet, a business center and a 100 m² (1,076 sq ft) event space with a meeting room make this guesthouse work-ready. Additional services include dry cleaning, laundry and a 24-hour front desk.

An on-site restaurant serves local Norfolk Island flavors and island-style dishes, and limited-hours room service is available for in-room meals.
