Sleeping beauties - David Matheson

Sleeping Beauties is a sumptuously photographed and expertly compiled selection of Australia's most exquisite accommodation. Ranging from outback retreats and hideaways in the snow to quintessential beach-houses and cabins nestled in the rainforest, all have been chosen for their relaxing ambience, gracious service, excellent amenities, spectacular locations and unique interiors. Detailed reviews provide a sense of the place and its surroundings, contact details, room rates, facilities, what the breakfasts are like and when are the best times to visit - everything you could possibly want to know.

A beautiful but eminently usable book, Sleeping Beauties will be equally at home on your coffee table or in your overnight bag, and is guaranteed to turn your escapist dreams into reality.
