My partner and I stayed here for four nights as we were eloping to Lord Howe Island. Not only did the staff here cater to our every whim, they went above and beyond to make sure we were both calm, settled, and had our plans on track for the big day. Capella Lodge is not only the most beautiful, tranquil and private lodge we have ever stayed at, but the most memorable. The view is second to none, the proximity to the beach is tremendous, but what made this experience what it was is the staff. Libby and Mark are two of the most patient, understanding people on the face of the earth. We felt very welcomed by them and they regularly checked in with us to give us updates on weather for our wedding day and suggestions for wet weather options. Mark also insisted we use the Lodge's golf buggy on our wedding day to go from place to place for photos and it made a world of difference for us! Jess, Jess and Bree were attentive and brilliant conversationalists in the restaurant and always made sure we were happy and satisfied. Dave and Jarrod were always keen to provide advice on activities for the island as well as the best spots for photos. They were also keen to share their knowledge on the island's lesser-known waterfalls and attractions. Lucky was our first tour guide from the Lodge as...My partner and I stayed here for four nights as we were eloping to Lord Howe Island.

Always working with a smile on her face, she kept our spirits up when it poured rain on the island in the days leading up to the wedding. However, our most fond memory of Lucky would be her impromptu song and dance as I walked out of the Lodge to do my 'first look' photos with my husband-to-be. Lucky, that will always be one of my most cherished memories of the day and I am so, so glad you were there for it.
Thank you all for our amazing time here. We will be back in the very near future!
