Australia's Lord Howe Island is one of the world's great vacation destinations. The breath taking beauty and tropical ambience will entrance you from the moment you arrive. No wonder it has been given a World Heritage listing.

A week or two at Milky Way Villas at Old Settlement beach on Lord Howe Island will long be remembered as your "holiday of a lifetime". Arriving guests often greet us with the words "we always vowed to come back again and at last we've made it".

Milky Way Villas adjoins Old Settlement Beach

We offer excellent one bedroom or two bedroom self contained villas with fully equipped kitchen and en-suite bathroom. Your tariff also includes all linen requirements including beach towels. Our own free shuttle van service transports you to the local shops and restaurants on request.

Qantas operates flights to and from Sydney, Brisbane and Coffs Harbour. Private charter flights operate between Lord Howe Island and Port Macquarie on a random or pre-arranged basis. Milky Way Villas provides free Airport transfers for arriving and departing guests.

The great thing about Lord Howe Island is that is suits both the young and the old, the hyper-active or those folks who look for a really laid back holiday. We cater to all categories of guests and we do it very well indeed. That's why many of our guests come back over and over again.

Don't miss swimming with our local wild turtles

Lord Howe Island offers superb swimming, snorkelling, fishing, surfing, bushwalking, cycling and mountain climbing. We enjoy a mild sub tropical climate with pleasant sea breezes.

With so much to offer, it's little wonder that Lord Howe Island tourism is the major industry on the island. However, given the limited number of inbound airline flights you'll never find yourself in a crowd. Can you think of a single reason not to start planning a visit today?
