Days at Capella Lodge can be spent lounging with a book in the well stocked library, enjoying the horizon pool or indulging in one of the signature spa treatments at Capella Spa. For the more active, there is an abundance of rare birds, plants and marine life to discover as well as rainforest treks, walks on the sublime beaches and exploring the underwater world by snorkelling or aboard a glass-bottomed boat. 

Capella Lodge also revels in its reputation for fine dining, boasting a spectacular restaurant that features views of the Tasman Sea below, providing a dramatic backdrop for savouring fresh island cuisine over a romantic dinner for two or perhaps even a proposal?
