Having taken out this award now for too many years to remember, there is little doubt that qualia is in a field of its own when it come to luxury in Australia; indeed it competes with the best of the best on a global stage – “Luxury, serenity, visually spectacular scenery, wonderful food and fantastic service: our best travel experience in the world!” said one reader.
