Luxury Lodges of Australia members have lined up five major initiatives across Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.<\/strong><\/p>\n They include a major rebuild, two extensive refurbishments, a new private villa and new expeditions.<\/p>\n The program began with the reopening of Orpheus Island Lodge in July and will run over the next eight months. It culminates in May 2027 with the reopening of Bullo River Station and the 40th anniversary of True North Adventure Cruises.<\/p>\n \u201cThe vision and commitment behind each of these projects represents significant investment in some of Australia\u2019s most remarkable places, and a clear belief in the enduring appeal of genuine Australian hospitality,\u201d Luxury Lodges of Australia executive chair Penny Rafferty said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s particularly exciting to see how each lodge offering is evolving to heighten appeal for today\u2019s travellers while staying true to what makes them special, whether that\u2019s the timelessness of Orpheus Island, privileged access to remote coastlines aboard True North or the meeting of innovative agriculture, conservation and next level outback hospitality at Bullo River Station.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Luxury](\"https:\/\/travelweekly.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Resized_Saffire-Freycinet-Lodge-Jewel-Private-Villa-Sneak-Peak-View-1024x683.png\"\/)
