Halcyon House has nabbed the top spot on Mr & Mrs Smith’s 2016 hotel awards.
After polling over 25,000 of its readers, the travel site named the Cabarita Beach hotel the best in the world, beating out runners up 11 Howard in New York and Hôtel Providence Paris.
I can vouch for the win, having spent my honeymoon at Halcyon House in November. A sleepy surf town on the northern coast of New South Wales isn’t necessarily where I expected to spend my post-wedding escape, but Instagram-worthy interiors, attentive yet laid-back staff and a knockout restaurant, Paper Daisy, made it well worth the visit. Add a picture-perfect beachside location and the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in and the renovated 1960s motel well and truly lives up to the hype.
