Where to Stay
Every captivating tailor-made itinerary needs a perfect base. Our team has handpicked this collection of properties to give you luxury options in styles to suit any adventure.
Sydney, Blue Mountains and The Hunter Valley
Home to the iconic silhouette of the Sydney Opera House, fabulous wine regions, mountains, beaches and wildlife.
This area of Australia is fertile and well-populated (by Australian standards). Beautiful beaches, temperate rainforest, the world heritage listed Blue Mountains and of course the fabulous city of Sydney all make up the area where Captain Cook first landed.
Beyond the maze of escarpments and gorges making up the Blue Mountains lie miles of undulating bushland, which are today known as the central tablelands. These rich pastoral lands are home to a multitude of wildlife from kangaroos and wombats to possums and platypus while the spectacular coastline harbours whales, dolphin, seal and penguin colonies.
Lord Howe Island
Located 600 kilometres northeast of Sydney lies Lord Howe Island. With rugged volcanic peaks, lush forests, serene lagoons and the southern-most coral reef in the world, the island was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1982. Shaped from the remnants of a large shield volcano that erupted from the seafloor about seven million years ago visitor numbers are limited to only 400 at one time. The scenery is stunning and a stay here is like entering a magical, prehistoric world that you are one of only a handful of people privileged to experience.

Clare Wiggins
My love for Asia began with living there. Based in Vietnam and then Malaysia, I also explored the surrounding regions before eventually finding my way back home via China and the Trans-Siberian railway. At Steppes Travel, I get to share that love for Asia every day, helping clients experience the places I know best as if they were locals themselves.
