VU0304 'At the other end of Long Island, five minutes away by launch, is the remote luxury of Peppers Palm Bay, the place Robinson Cruise could only dream about . Here, even at peak times, there is a maximum of 42 guests, with a guest staff ratio two-to-one. The food is five-star, the place about as slow as it comes, the cocktails mind-blowing, and the rainbows shining across the mountains rather than in the sky are enough to make you believe in God ' Sunday Mail 'Peppers Palm Bay is the only boutique retreat in the Withsundays, a holiday mecca better known for its large resorts, many of them with hundreds of rooms. Wandering around its 21 stylishly furnished bures and bungalows scattered along the waterfront, you get the feeling of being in a small village. Each has its own balcony slung with an inviting hammock for the afternoon island ritual of absorbing the setting sun-along with an equally colourful beverage, over the retreat?s private lagoon a few metres from your doorstep. The trick to settling into island life is not to hurry .'. Sunday Telegraph 1/6/2003 'This tranquil getaway has 21 bures, cabins and bungalows scattered along a palm-fringed beach. You'll find no televisions here to disturb the serenity, just the twittering of birds and occasional thump of wallabies as they hop through the resorts tropical gardens' Australian House and Garden 01/11/03 |
