House full at Sir Richard’s hideaway island
Sir Richard Branson’s $16,890-a-night Australian hideaway on Makepeace Island at Noosa has been booked out over Christmas and New Year.
“The interest we have had after just four months of opening has been overwhelming,” said a spokeswoman for the resort.
Many any of the island’s visitors have been well-known names who choose to holiday there to escape the pressures of fame.
“Our clients often book the island because of its seclusion and to meet their desire in most cases not to have their celebrity known,” the spokeswoman said.
Branson, along with former Virgin Blue executives, bought the heart-shaped island for $2.86 million in 2007.
It rents for between $7,900 per night for up to eight guests during the off-season to $16,890 per night for up to 22 guests during busy periods.
There is a main house, three two-bedroom villas and a four-bedroom guesthouse. It has a boathouse, lagoon pool, a 15-person spa, an outdoor cinema and tennis court.
