About this hotel

Capella Lodge sits on Lord Howe Island, a protected World Heritage site off the coast of New South Wales. The property is a small, exclusive resort designed for guests seeking seclusion and natural beauty rather than nightlife or crowds. The lodge offers accommodation and dining focused on the island's distinctive environment, with activities centred on the island's hiking, birdwatching, and marine life. External validation comes from a Forbes Travel Guide award in 2026, reflecting the property's standing within luxury hospitality. The location itself is the draw: Lord Howe Island is limited to 400 visitors at any given time by regulation, making it one of Australia's most carefully preserved destinations. Capella serves as a base for experiencing the island's mountain ranges, endemic species, and quiet coastline.
