Hotels near Norfolk Island Airport - NLK, Burnt Pine

A trip to Norfolk Island is a must, not many attractions for kids, more suited to travelers who are interested in the culture and history of the island. A few adjustments to consider with food due to availability of product. Overall an experience not to be missed if it's on your list then go there!

The main township on the island. Lots of great places to eat or just have a coffee. Be prepared though: as everything needs to come from the mainland by ship, the prices at the grocery market are very dear! My wife tells me that the selection, price and quality of shoes and handbags at the Franks Shoes were extraordinary. Restaurants that we recommend: Salty Beer Garden for an informal bite, The Olive for great coffee, Hilli Restaurant and Bailey's Restaurant for fine dining. You must try the Trumpeter, it's served at most restaurants and it's amazing! We initially stayed in Burnt Pine at the Cumberland Resort. The great part of staying in and around Burnt Pine is that the tour buses pick you up right in front of your property.

The whole island is a friendly place. The people obviously care for each other and the community works as a whole. The history of Norfolk will never be forgotten, and you learn so much from the many tours available. The modern day is present as well with WiFi and eco tourism is practised there in spades. The only negative for travellers who have never been before is that the whole island closes down at 12pm on Wednesday. Make sure you find out the opening hours of businesses. You will need a car to go to all of the attractions. The beach at Emily Bay, Kingston. Anson Bay, Captain Cooks lookout, the Gardens and Mt. Pitt. Restaurants abound but be prepared for shortages in fresh milk and vegetables. Food is a new adventure.

Locals are friendly. A good range of shops. Great little cafes and eating options. Everything you need is there. It's the hub. There's history and breathtaking views on every turn. For a place with such history, it's very quiet and evokes such a sense of peace and calm. A great place to slow down and recharge.

The township was lovely but lost in time! There were a lot of empty shops and businesses so it is fair to say that the economy is struggling . The LeaguesClub had excellent food as did the Hilli cafe at the cyclorama. This was the best attraction and very moving emotionally . The ghost dinner was just ok. The ghost actress was awesome but the content a little poor. Meal OK ! Baileys restaurant had excellent service but my pasta was undercooked so I couldn’t eat it. $$$$ but lovely ambience . The penal colony tour was interesting and the history very sad. The most brutal penal colony of the entire British empire. Captain cook monument was very well maintained and fab views. The feral roosters on the island are a menace. We had 7 nights of broken sleep due to the crowing of the roosters . Beware of the wildlife cows which wander freely around the entire island . Omg!

There is a lot of interesting history on the island. The locals care very much for their environment, everything is clean and well cared for. We came home refreshed and looking forward to another visit someday. We recommend the fish fry night if you like fish 😀
