The Beachcomber Hotel & Resort

Sparkling from its recent renovation, the boutique, ultra-stylish Beachcomber Hotel & Resort on New South Wales’ Central Coast is the ultimate laidback escape. Set in the charming town of Toukley, on the gorgeous coastline overlooking the glittering waters of Budgewoi Lake, this Hamptons-inspired sanctuary (known by locals as ‘The Beachie’) is the perfect high-end launchpad for discovering the wonders of the region, and an idyllic retreat after days filled with sun-kissed adventures — all just 90 minutes from Sydney.
