Your celebrity hosts

Shane Delia
Shane Delia brings a wealth of expertise and passion for Middle Eastern cuisine, shaped by years exploring the region’s rich traditions. As owner and head chef of Melbourne’s award-winning Maha, he’s celebrated for his innovative flavours and has earned global recognition as host of Shane Delia’s Spice Journey, broadcast in 135+ countries. A familiar face on Australian TV, he continues to showcase how food connects communities through programs like A Middle East Feast. In 2022, he received the prestigious Melbourne Award for his impact on the city’s culinary culture.
Matt Preston
Matt Preston’s not afraid to smash a plate or two in pursuit of culinary excellence. With ten years of service as a judge on Channel 10’s MasterChef (alongside Gary Mehigan), a weekly national food column, six bestselling cookbooks and countless accolades, it’s no exaggeration to say he’s at the heart of everything delicious in Australia.
Gary Mehigan
Some chefs are built different: after training at iconic London venues The Connaught and Le Souffle, Gary Mehigan returned to Melbourne for a blazing career across some of the city’s best restaurants. He served for a decade on Channel 10’s MasterChef (alongside Matt Preston) and is currently working on crafting documentaries filled with delicious wonder for National Geographic.
Diana Chan
Accountant by profession, celebrity chef by vocation, Diana Chan has dazzled Australian audiences since winning MasterChef in 2017. Since her victory, the Malaysian-born television personality has established herself as a successful cook, product creator, menu designer, TV host, restauranteur and content creator along with having her own range of Golden Wok dumplings that are a favourite in all Australian supermarkets.
Khanh Ong
Khanh Ong is a celebrated Australian chef, television personality, and author, known for his vibrant energy and innovative culinary creations. Born in a Vietnamese family, Khanh has skillfully blended his heritage with modern Australian cuisine, making him a standout figure in the culinary world. He first gained national attention as a contestant on MasterChef Australia, where his passion for food and dynamic personality won the hearts of viewers.
Jason Edwards
With over three decades capturing the natural world across every continent, Jason Edwards has built one of the most extensive portfolios in his field. His work has featured in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Australian Geographic, Condé Nast Traveler and more, earning global recognition and awards for his contributions to wildlife and conservation. Beyond photography, his hands-on expertise comes from years working with scientists, conservationists and local communities on projects from African mountain patrols and lemur rehabilitation in Madagascar to documenting climate change in Antarctica.
Nick O'Hern
One of Australia’s best professional golfers, Nick O’Hern has earned his stellar reputation through consistent play and a winning mindset – one that inspired his essential books, ‘Tour Mentality – Inside the Mind of a Tour Pro’ and ‘How to Play Your Best Golf’. Turning his attentions to now uplifting promising talent on the green, Nick enjoys sharing the secret skills that helped him become the only man to beat World No. 1 Tiger Woods twice during match play.
Bree Ogilvy
Bree Ogilvy knows her way around a golf course – and a TV camera. When she’s not lighting up the screen as a presenter on ‘How Good Is Golf’, reporting on the Australian Open Golf, or fronting major brands like Genesis and Taylormade, Bree can be found fine-tuning her game on the fairways. A Division 1 pennant player turned media personality, she’s a proud member of both Commonwealth and Barham Golf Clubs and plays off an impressive six handicap. Married to professional golfer Geoff Ogilvy, Bree brings a deep love for the game – and plenty of great stories – to every round.

Love using Luxury Escapes! Always offer fantastic escapes and deliver what is advertised. The service from staff is amazing. Nothing was too much trouble when we recently had to change a booking. Mitchell was very understanding and kept us informed of all our options and went the extra mile to help us. Highly recommend.

As a newcomer to Luxury Escapes, I’ve found the whole process really easy and simple. I’ve been able to book awesome accommodation at a great price, and been supported in the most professional and friendly way by Mitchell R when I needed to extend my stay. Everything is sorted as we hoped – and the service we received was fantastic. Thanks Mitchell & the Luxury Escapes team!

Yet again another great holiday booking via Luxury Escapes. A personal thank you to Tammie R for sorting out our bookings to accommodate the kids and family. It truly took the stress out of booking and making changes to get it right. She was patient and kind. She actioned our requests promptly and followed up to keep us updated on what was going on in real time. A genuine thank you from us.

I have booked 2 trips with Luxury Escapes. The first was so amazing that we had to book again! I needed to get some additional information and called. Emily H. was so helpful. She gave me the different options and followed up. I highly recommend booking your next vacation with Luxury Escapes.

I’ve used Luxury Escapes on a number of occasions and each time I have called their support team, they have been fantastic. I called the other day with a question about my recent booking for a holiday and Bella M was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed quickly and efficiently. I would recommend Luxury Escapes to anyone who was thinking of a well-priced holiday with excellent customer service.

They provided us with an exceptional value package for a stay at Avani+ resort in Khao Lak, Thailand. We were very well taken care of by the staff who recognised the booking from LE as important and even had a specially curated menu for LE guests.

I would recommend Luxury Escapes and will definitely book through them again. The excellent customer service I received from Joseph F with my booking due to a flight change was friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, made me feel totally confident in my booking. Best customer service I’ve ever had anywhere, well done Joseph F.

As a world traveler, the Botswana and Zambia safari is the best trip I have ever done. The accommodation was luxury, the staff and guides were amazing and the trip exceeded all my expectations. The parks were private so there were not many people. There were so many wild animals who were not afraid to get close. We saw the big 5. It was nature at its finest and Africa at its best. I felt privileged to be part of it.
