We enjoyed our stay at Milky Way, very relaxing. The location was good for accessing much of the island, but still being secluded. Milky Way is near Old Settlement Beach, a great, uncrowded beach for snorkeling. The turtles come in to feed on this beach. Accommodations were nice, not outstanding. Pleasant.

My wife and I and another couple spent seven nights on Lord Howe Island at the Milky Way Holiday Villas. After landing our host Josie picked us up and gave us a tour of the island. Our first three days were fun filled with good weather then unfortunately the rest of our stay was wind and rain. The islanders were... More

I was very impressed with how well set out the rooms were. We stayed 4 nights in one of the cabins, it had everything we could need, plus a few extra details like backpacks in case we wanted to go hiking. I toured all over the island, and came to the conclusion that the Milky Way was the best located... More

We ( couple & teenage daughter) stayed for a week (and then three extra days due to flight cancellations), in the Belmoreana unit. We loved the location & the view over-looking birds, grazing cattle & forested hills. However... we did not find the staff very helpful - serviced rooms were advertised but this did not happen unless you asked... restaurant... More

Milky Way is at the north end of the well-strung out accommodation in LHI. The plus is that you have a quiet beach within 100m, and mountain walks starting at the back door. The downside is that you have a 20-30 minute walk to shops and restaurants but walking around is part of the attraction of the island. The restaurant... More

We stayed here on a week of extremely windy weather. The accommodation was a high-point. We had a one bedroom Belmoreana unit which faced out over a large grassy garden and onto the mountains.The unit has a verandah looking out over the garden with 2 easy chairs and a table and chairs for 2 to eat at in good weather...

LHI is a unique place. There are the residents who have been around for generations, the locals who are the resort workers, and the tourists. As a tourist you are the bottom of the pecking order. Smiles are hard to get and you feel a little out of place. Milky Way was a great location, close to the beach bbq's... More

If you want to be close to the beach this is the spot. Many of the other lodgings were up a hill inland. Nothing is very far on Lord Howe but being able to walk in 1 minute to the beach is excellent. Moorei Unit was clean and comfortable with everything you need. Loved the King sized bed and roomy... More

The one bedroom older Moorei units are quite basic and though the info said they'd been renovated the only sign of this I could see was in the bathroom. The layout was fine and kitchen was reasonably equipped. The curtains and blankets are old and somewhat worse for wear. Although the rooms were supposed to be serviced daily this consisted... More
