Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley

A seriously luxurious establishment situated between two of Australia's national parks, the hotel is built on a nature reserve home to hundreds of kangaroos, wallaroos and wombats, none of which are shy. Enjoy cycling around the property before returning for a gin and tonic by the fire.

Each extraordinary villa has a seven-metre lap pool, a gas fire heating both bedroom and sitting room, and a marble-tiled bathroom with a fine rain shower and, set by a window, a deep bath for lathering up and watching clouds scud past in china-blue skies

You'll want to get out and about, to yomp through the 7,000 acres of pristine wilderness - to hike, to bike, to ride - and then come back for a stonking massage in the spa. A little slice of eco heaven, or, to be more precise, a Bloody Gorgeous Hotel.
