Ned's Beach was just a short stroll from our stay at Lorhiti Apartments and a beautiful place to enjoy sunset BBQs and beach strolls - with fish lapping at your feet. Highly recommend!

Never busy, nice sand, although some areas need reef shoes. Excellent swimming area well protected. Also good for snorkelling, kayaks and SUP. Good picnic and BBQ facilities. Toilets at 2 locations. Be great for kids.

Chase n Thyme the experience you never expected! There was a wonderful film from the 1980s “My Beautiful Laundrette” all about turning the chore of washing your clothes into an experience, fun and entertainment. We have very much based our journey on this theme, that surprise experience you never expected! If Lord Howe Island was a book it would have a glossy cover. Chase n Thyme is all about the many and varied pages of the book that makes its glossy cover. More that a tour, a journey from past to present, some fun, a photo or three, an education, a very unique experience and a treat at our home! If you want that feeling of “ticking all the boxes” you need to find out how it all came to be, Chase n Thyme, you have come along way to miss so much? Don’t take our word for it, no better recommendation than our guests and their comments on Tripadvisor. The island’s first tour inducted to Tripadvisor’s, Hall of Fame. Don’t leave without the Howe, what, when, where and why?

This is an excellent little museum, largely put together and staffed by locals, usually on a voluntary basis. It is very small and is divided into two sections, each of one room: one covering the human history of LHI and the other natural history, back to its fiery volcanic origins 7 million years ago. All very interesting and not at all overwhelming - as so many museums can be. Visited here twice. (The adjoining Coral Cafe is also an excellent lunch venue!) Both times chatted with the local museum volunteers who were very friendly and only too happy to answer all sorts of questions about life on LHI. . They also sell reasonably priced local souvenirs - mostly made in China (one exception being the very tasty local LHI honey). Entry is free but donations gratefully accepted.
