Perched atop a sand dune on King Island, Taraki Lodge boasts one of Australia’s most spectacular sunset viewpoints, inspiring guests with its breathtaking panorama of the Bass Strait.

Best of all, the lavish retreat – designed to sleep eight guests – comes at a reasonable price, with a nightly rate of $1,210 (AUD) or just $151.25 per person.
