I’m not entirely sure how I landed the gig of TDF’s resident travel writer, but I’m certainly not complaining about it!

A few weeks ago I was lucky to stay at the impressive boutique hotel, Lindenderry at Red Hill, where the robes are fluffy, the grounds are grand, and interiors brand-new!

When we published a story on The Sunseeker in Byron Bay earlier this year, it crystallised for us a new type of interior trend that’s been emerging over the last few years. The ‘LA Retro Eclectic’ look is, as the name suggests, an eclectic mish mash of styles, but a few key hallmarks tend to define it.

No longer does Los Angeles style mean laid-back, surfy or bohemian. Now, LA style errs more towards its show business roots, combining old Hollywood glamour with a touch of 70s glitz. A retro eclectic interior with an LA flavour is the best of the 60s, 70s, and 80s rolled into one; meaning maximalist rooms filled with cane furniture, squashy and full-bodied couches, a hint of tropicana, potted cacti and some graphic artwork.

If you’ve seen the fabulous Flamingo Estate (or Troye Sivan’s Flack Studio-designed Melbourne home), then you know exactly what we mean! Lauren Li breaks down this new look and how to achieve it yourself.

There are some seriously incredible places to stay in Tasmania, but until now, few luxury experiences have been located on the state’s north-west coast.
