5 Private Islands You Can Actually Rent For Luxurious Family Holidays
Makepeace Island, Sunshine Coast, Queensland
custom

For a tranquil escape in Australia, book a stay on the heart-shaped Makepeace Island, located on the Noosa River on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. To get there, take a private boat transfer from Noosa Heads, which is just minutes away from the island. This luxurious destination was originally developed as a private retreat for family and friends of Sir Richard Branson. These days the private hideaway is available for exclusive hire for up to 20 people.

Guests can enjoy an extensive range of onsite facilities including tennis courts, swimming pools, a spa and water sports. Executive chef Zeb Gilbert will design menus specifically for guests using local organic produce from across the region. To explore further afield, go for walks through the World Heritage listed Fraser Island and Great Sandy National Park, or beach horse riding on North Shore’s white sand dunes.

The exclusive island rental includes three luxury villas, four rooms in the Island House and the unique Boathouse. The price includes boat transfers, limitless river transfers, twice daily housekeeping, all meals, beverages and full access to the island facilities. Rates starts from AU$18,000 per night.

Picnic Island, Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania
custom

Imagine having this whole island in pristine Tasmania just for your group escape. Located in Coles Bay (near the famous Wineglass Bay) in the Freycinet National Park, the destination offers lots of adventures throughout the year. Flanked by the majestic backdrop of the Hazards mountain range, Picnic Island is surrounded by coves and beaches just a short distance away. Hosted retreats include kayaking to the shoreline and hiking, or waking up for sunrise yoga on the deck.

The lodge accepts exclusive private bookings for up to 10 people. As this place is more rustic, you would need to bring food and groceries along or book a ferry back to the mainland to visit the local pub. Otherwise, try catching your own fresh fish and seafood. Collect mussels off the rocks or dive for abalone and sea urchins if you’re the more adventurous sort. If you’re lucky you may spot whales or meet curious dolphins and seals on the island.

International visitors can fly into either Launceston or Hobart and drive just over two hours to Coles Bay, where Freycinet Adventures will transport guests for the 10-minute trip to the island. Alternatively, you can fly seaplane from Hobart direct to the island. Exclusive hire starts from AU$2,200 per night, including water taxi return, for up to 10 guests (king double or twin in five bedrooms).
