Island House

Island House

On a remote edge of Lord Howe Island, Island House blends architectural beauty and curated art with the ease of a private house hotel – where adventures unfold beyond your door and our team, including Japanese private chefs, takes care of every detail.

Set within a secluded forest of Kentia palms and centuries-old Banyan trees, Island House offers two pavilion-style residences for just eight guests. Designed by leading architects and crafted in hardwood and copper, each house is fully oak-lined and filled with books, original artworks, authentic mid-century furniture, Cheminee fireplaces, and copper baths. Light-filled interiors open to expansive decks, shaded gardens, and generous lawns, with fruit trees and herbs to pick at your leisure.

Whether booked exclusively for a group or as individual houses, each residence offers the privacy of a home with the refinement of a luxury lodge. Days might begin with breakfast on the deck and an island hike, or a guided reef snorkel, and end with a multi-course dinner prepared to your tastes. Daily housekeeping, attentive on-site management, and fully provisioned kitchens and bars ensure that every stay is effortless.

At Island House, design and nature are inseparable – offering a place to slow down, explore deeply, and feel utterly at home.
