Lord Howe Island was my first solo travel experience, and what a positive one! I chose a package deal which included a walking tour and two days bicycle hire. Although at 55 I'm no longer fit enough to climb Mt Gower, there are plenty of graded walks to choose from that offer breathtaking views and unique birds and plants. I... More

Lord Howe Island has highly unpredictable weather and air travel connections. We returned home yesterday, three days later than scheduled because of cancelled flights - due to "technical problems" - and gale-force winds and driving rain. Each time our very helpful hosts - Judy and Peter, and daughter Amy - swung in to action. Nothing was too much trouble, including... More

We stayed for 7 nights on a package deal over Easter (2013). We had a 1 bedroom apartment with kitchen facilities, although we dined out every night at different excellent restaurants on the package deal. There is a general store just opposite if you need any incidentals. If you are using a bike during your stay, it is a good... More

We stayed for one week in Feb 2013. From the pickup at the airport to the drop off for return home we could not have had a better holiday. Although the weather was not very good for the first 2 days and some luggage did not arrive for a few days, the owners could not be more helpful. Nothing was... More

We stayed at Leanda-Lei for five nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Leanda-Lei is clean, comfortable, quiet and well kept. The setting is picturesque, with lots of palms in the surrounding area and well-maintained gardens. The kitchen in our apartment was well equipped for a holiday apartment and everything worked. There is a good common lounge area with bathroom facilities,... More

Since there are virtually no cars on the island, the hosts pick you up at the airport and get you situated. Check your room quickly and let them know if you need anything because they are only at the reception a few hours in the morning, and about 30 to 60mn before the 6:30 bus ride to the restaurants they...

Leanda Lei is very centrally located, just up the road from the musuem and within easy walking distance of the lagoon and most of the main sites. Our group spent a week here in February and had studio apartments in a garden setting. Try to avoid the first apartments (in the same block as the office) if you can as... More

We planned to stay for five days in July, and extended an extra day when flights were cancelled. Leanda-Lei is centrally located, in the middle of the island, with Joy's store opposite, and the main shopping/restaurant strip 15 or 20 minutes' walk in one direction and the bowling club and Pinetrees slightly less in the other. The museum and the... More

A great place to relax, quite and comfortable. The property is very centrally located and even for people not used to bike riding easy accessible. The staff was friendly and there when needed but never intrusive. We fully recommend.
