Perth, Margaret River & Kimberley Coast

Start your trip in style with complimentary private lounge access before your flight.

You’ll be met, on arrival, by a private driver who’ll bring you to your luxury accommodation. Housed in a 19th-century redbrick building and host to handcrafted furniture, it’s the ideal welcome to the Perth’s historic centre. Here, stately buildings rub shoulders with giant skyscrapers – great glass-and-steel sentinels to the city’s superb botanic parks, zoo and aquarium.

Then, in between relaxing on its golden beaches, find time to take in the excellent art galleries and restaurant scene of Northbridge, the city’s cultural epicentre.

Picking up your hire car, you’ll make the scenic drive down the coast, sweeping along secluded bays and white-sand beaches. Perhaps pause at one of its quaint seaside towns for lunch before arriving at your country-house accommodation – a Luxury Lodge of Australia.

Set on its very own vineyard, it’s ideally positioned for tasting tours of the local viticulture, paired perfectly with a full spread of spa treatments.

Over the next two days you’ll settle into a suite of included, culinary experiences. Begin each morning with a gourmet breakfast before perhaps heading out to explore wild coastlines and native forests on hikes along the Cape to Cape Track – one of Australia’s Great Walks. You might even pause for an indulgent picnic or a five-course, wine-paired lunch at one of the region’s many vineyards. Speak to our specialists for the available options.

Your culinary education will then continue each evening, with a three-course dinner served lakeside at your lodge’s award-winning restaurant and a harvest platter, presented in the intimacy of your own room. It’s all washed down with a local vintage, of course.

This morning, retrace your steps with the drive back north. Passing along dramatic coastal jags, you’ll arrive at Perth, dropping your car off at the airport to board your short flight hop to Broome. Clinging to a strand of ochre rock, its creeks and glittering views of the Indian Ocean are the spectacular backdrop to your spa-resort accommodation.

Set right on the beach, you’ll arrive by private transfer and settle in for a two-night stay.

Stay: Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa

Today, following an included transfer, you’ll board the True North – a bijou ship whose 36 privileged passengers are hosted by sleekly contemporary cabins, sun lounges and full-board fine dining. With opportunities to chat and even fish with the chef throughout, you’ll learn of the fresher-than-fresh ingredients that inform the likes of salmon roe and corn-fed pancetta.

An expedition team packed full of doctorate biologists will also lead you on a spread of included excursions, ranging from adventure-boat cruises to diving and snorkelling. There’s even the option to make use of the onboard helicopter.

Stay: True North

After a first night at sea, you’ll have nearly a week to explore the majestic Kimberley wilderness. Your first port of call is the Horizontal Falls, whose awesome tidal power is showcased by a tender-boat trip or helicopter flight, followed by your first fishing expedition. Then, cruising along the winding Sale River, you’ll have the chance for a billabong swim before a snorkel excursions introduces you to the turtles, dugong and rays of the Montgomery Reef.

Then, after a trip under the mighty waterfalls of Kings Cascades, a hike and swim will showcase the best of its Jurassic Park landscape.

Stay: True North

Stunning red cliffs, fringed by rainforests and mangroves, characterise your cruise along Hunter River – the setting for fishing, birdwatching and mud crabbing expeditions. Hikes also bring you to hidden waterfalls before you end the day with sunset drinks on a remote island. The following morning, you’ll be treated to some of the world’s oldest rock art – the millennia-old Bradshaws – before enjoying a heli-picnic or tender cruise among the region’s beaches and creeks.

On your final day onboard, you’ll journey up the King George River to its eponymous waterfall, climbing up to its summit for sweeping views.

Stay: True North

Arriving into the frontier port of Wyndham, you’ll be met by an included transfer to be brought on to next-door Kununurra. From here, you’ll board your overnight flight back to the UK.
