Two obscenely beautiful locations that will have all of your senses craving in awe.

DID SOMEONE JUST SAY VACATION? MAKE YOUR NEXT GETAWAY A DESTINATIO­N EXPERIENCE THAT WILL LINGER IN THE MEMORY BANK FOR A LIFETIME. LOCATED ON OPPOSITE CONTINENTS OF THE GLOBE, BOTH PUMPHOUSE POINT IN AUSTRALIA OR MONT ROCHELLE IN SOUTH AFRICA WILL HAVE ALL OF YOUR SENSES CRAVING IN AWE. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE. TAKE YOUR PICK!

Autumn/winter is the time for open fires, toasted marshmallo­ws and delicious warm mulled wine and you can find it all at one of the most unique luxury accommodat­ion locations in Australia,

PUMPHOUSE POINT. This recently restored 5-storey, 1940s pumping station sits suspended 250m out on glacial Lake St Clair Tasmania, which means you’re in one of the world’s most pristine and remote environmen­ts. Keep an eye on their website for details of a special partnershi­p with the iconic Dark Mofo Festival to celebrate the winter solstice in mid June. pumphousep­oint.com.au

Mist-covered mountain ranges surround one of the most beautiful parts of South Africa… Franschhoe­k. The town is less than an hour from Cape Town and is home to Richard Branson’s hotel and vineyard, Mont Rochelle. If food and wine are your thing, you’ll be in the right place: two stunning restaurant­s plus bar (including vineyard-cultivated red and white varieties), a 150-year-old cellar and wine tasting. But there’s also spa treatments, poolside lounging and 39 hectares of grounds to explore… not to mention Branson’s private Sabi Sand game reserve in the north. virginlimi­tededition.com/en/mont-rochelle
