Guest Reviews
Paradise on Norfolk Island!
“…Norfolk Island itself lived up to everything we had been told and researched. A beautiful place with so much history, and beautiful scenery and amazing bays for swimming. Such friendly locals, and a place that everyone should visit in their lifetime. We will be back again and we will most certainly be staying at Trade Winds”.

Idyllic Norfolk Island Holiday Retreat
“…On our arrival at Trade Winds there was fresh fruit and flowers in our cottage, magnificent tranquil surroundings. the cottage was very comfortable with everything you need. A must if you go to Norfolk Island.”

Great features for people with mobility problems
"Do you have mobility problems, then Tradewinds is the place for you.
The living areas & bedroom were all easily accessible as was the large back verandah. There was a great bathroom with the door wide enough for me to use my walking frame & plenty of grab rails. Truely an accessible bathroom. It was great having proper features.
Rachael made a point of checking I had everything I needed.
It was a great relaxing holiday".

Restful Setting
"This was our second visit to Norfolk Island, and we purposely chose to stay again at Tradewinds. This time we brought friends with us (accommodated in the same cottage). We all love the quiet rural setting, and the large cottage - plenty of room for all. As other reviewers noted, it is lovely to sit out on the verandah and relax in the quietness. Thank you to Rachel for being a wonderful host. Although it is away from the main centre, for us that is most welcome as it is quieter. With a car it really is not far to all the attractions -we chose these to suit our interests. If we went back again we would not hesitate to stay at Tradewinds again".

Simply the best!
What can I say about our stay at Trade Winds? It was wonderful! Rachel, Ian and the girls made us feel so comfortable and at home. The cottage was spotless and fitted with everything we needed in a home away from home. I travelled with my husband and sister, sharing a cottage. We each had our own bedroom (at opposite sides of the cottage) with our own ensuite.
We were welcomed with home grown, fruit and home laid eggs, along with some freshly baked sugar cookies.
Our beautiful hosts were so accommodating and ready to help us with anything we needed. They helped us to orientate quickly to island life.
The quietness of the location was just wonderful, and just what we needed to unwind and truly relax.
Rachel, we just can't thank you enough for wonderful week on Norfolk Island".
