The best place! Pinetrees Lodge

29/05/2021

Dani Rourke, the owner of Pinetrees Lodge, shows what it takes to run TripAdvisor’s No.1 Hotel in Australia. It’s hard to juggle 75 guests, 30 staff and 2 kids, but Dani’s persistence and grace have transformed the guest experience (and the staff experience) to something truly unique. If you’re wondering how a boutique family-run hotel on Lord Howe Island can mix it with the best corporate hotels and luxury lodges in the country, then watch this beautiful video about Dani. (By the way, she hates her husband, Luke, and film-maker, Andy Lloyd, for making her endure projects like this…..).

I just donated as winter will be horrible for so many of these animals.

When Athena was rescued by the RSPCA, she hadn’t eaten in three days. Her owner hadn’t fed her… she was so skinny that her knees buckled when she tried to sit. Read her story and donate now to help bring an end to animal cruelty.
