Nestled
in the heart of Tasmania’s UNESCO World
Heritage Listed site lies the awe-inspiring
Cradle Mountain Lodge (above and main), where
a multi-stage $10 million upgrade is underway. The
upgrade is expected to breathe new life into the iconic
boutique lodge’s 86 cabins. In fact, rumour has it that the
luxurious updates – which include brand-new King Billy
Suites, a new reception space, two new guest lounges for
the Waldheim Alpine Spa and luxe upgrades, to the famed
Tavern Bar & Bistro – may even come close to outshining
the awe-inspiring scenery and mind-blowing surroundings.

DRINK UP
Sustainable, stylish and practical, the Corkcicle range features
triple-insulated thermoses, tumblers, canteens and stemless wine
cups. And it’s now available in Australia from Mr and Mrs Jones,
Surfstich and The Iconic. The US-based brand has a cult
following among the style set, counting Oprah and Julia Roberts
among its celebrity fans. All products are BPA-free with a
slip-proof silicone base, and can keep your favourite micro-brew,
G&T or rosé ice cold for up to 25 hours. We’ll drink to that.

WAX ON
Calling all surfers: the Clean Ocean
Foundation Australia has developed a surf
wax designed to neutralise the growing
acidity of our oceans caused by carbon
emissions. To protect our reefs, the
SmartWax developers implore all surf wax
brands to adopt this formula, which they say
would convert 112 million litres of ocean
water daily globally. smart-wax.com.au
HAPPY CAMPERS
Even the least enthusiastic campers can
now take their minds off their sad excuses
for mattresses and the hum of loitering
insects, with an expertly concocted
cocktail in hand. Learn to love the
great outdoors with a little help from
Camp Cocktails, a collection of delightful
yet effortless swills for valiant vacationers.

2A favourite amongst dreamers and adventurers
alike, Byron Bay is set to hit the top of everyone’s
must-visit list yet again, especially when we all
come out of self-isolation. It’s all thanks to the newly
completed seven contemporary beach houses of The
Norfolk (above). Soaked with natural light, echoing
with the sounds of the nearby ocean, and with a focus on
functional design and high-end furnishings, the Norfolk
Bayshore Drive is a recently completed row of houses
and studios perfectly situated within walking distance
of The Stone and Wood brewery, the Arts
and Industry Estate and Elements Resort.
