Escape the rush

Norfolk Island offers something that’s becoming increasingly rare: the chance to slow down.


Spend your days exploring dramatic coastlines, discovering local history, enjoying fresh local produce or simply relaxing amongst nature. Whether you prefer filling your days with adventure or doing very little at all, the island lets you set your own pace.

Nestled amongst beautiful gardens, Trade Winds Country Cottages provides the perfect base to experience everything Norfolk Island has to offer.


Our spacious self-contained cottages give you room to relax, while complimentary car hire, included with every booking, makes it easy to explore the island whenever you choose.


After a day of sightseeing, there’s nothing better than returning to your own private cottage, putting your feet up on the verandah and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.


Give yourself something to look forward to

Planning a holiday isn’t just about the destination. Having a trip on the horizon gives you something to anticipate through the busy months ahead.
