Sydney City
A Sydney city staycation offers urban excitement with iconic views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Enjoy world-class dining, explore vibrant city precincts, like Darling Harbour or The Rocks, and visit museums or galleries. Relax in luxury hotels, take scenic harbour walks, and experience Sydney’s nightlife without leaving the city.
Kiama
People flock to Kiama to witness the force of nature that is the town’s famed blowhole, but the region as a whole is equally awe-inspiring. Get lost in the silent beauty of rainforest, watch wondrous waterfalls, surf the region’s great breaks, amble stunning coastal walks, soar above the tree-tops, mosey through a market and get to know the locals at gorgeous spots like Gerringong and Jamberoo.
Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains are justifiably world famous. And it’s not just those World Heritage-listed landscapes that draw people back. Grand gardens, fabulous food (much of it with equally fabulous views), crisp mountain air, heritage hotels, galleries and artisans, and a string of townships each with their own charm… there are few better places to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself.
Crescent Head
Officially recognised as one of the best surf spots in the country, Crescent Head is a classic Aussie beach village with a laid-back, retro vibe and a deeply entrenched surf culture. It’s also a firm favourite with families wanting to explore the natural and historic treasures of the Macleay Valley Coast region.
Trundle
Mamma Mia! It’s on again! Calling all Dancing Queens and Super Troupers- polish your sequins and grab your platform heels, Trundle will once again welcome your arrival to celebrate all things ABBA. Held in the regional township of Trundle, in Central Western New South Wales, the Trundle ABBA Festival is Australia’s only and original ABBA festival. The ABBA Festival is a day packed full of family-friend entertainment- headlined by Bjorn Again, the World’s No.1 ABBA Tribute Band, supported by a range of entertainment to Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! a great time!
Gold Coast
Embrace the unrivalled energy of the Gold Coast, where beautiful sandy beaches, ancient rainforests, thrilling theme parks, and a vibrant dining and cultural scene come to life in this entertainment playground. Whether it’s watching the sunrise at Burleigh, fishing at Main Beach, taking in the golden sand at Surfers paradise, or surfing with the pros at Coolangatta, there’s a spot reserved for you on the spectacular coastline that draws visitors locally and from all over the world.
Hobart, Tasmania
Hobart is humming – it’s Tasmania’s lively capital that retains an old town salty-air feel. This slower pace, once the chuckle of Australian city counterparts, has now become an endearing drawcard. Boutique hotels are filled to the brim and visitors are flocking to this harbour-side city in numbers not seen. What’s all the fuss? It’s probably because you can have early morning sand between your toes, wander city streets, head to a mountain summit and be back in time for cocktails on the waterfront. This compact capital is a liveable city. A vibrant city. A place where people still say hello – their relaxed pace now on trend in a busy world.
Airlie Beach, Whitsundays
Make the most of Queensland’s tropical weather with a visit to The Whitsundays, home to a group of 74 idyllic islands. Spend your time sailing the crystal-clear waters, discover extraordinary marine life, or wander your way through prominent landmarks, from the Great Barrier Reef to the pure sands of Whitehaven Beach. The mainland side of The Whitsunday Coast is just as enticing, boasting beaches and national parks galore, and the coastal enclave of Airlie Beach, where holidaymakers gather year-round and the lifestyles as dreamy as the natural surroundings.
Canberra
Canberra is famous for its national museums and galleries, but those in the know also head to local treasures and attractions. Discover a garden that houses one-fifth of Australia’s native plant species, a zoo where you can help save endangered animals, and a popular market housed in an old bus depot. At Corin Forest Mountain Resort, Snow play is fun for the entire family. Build a snowman, ride a toboggan, and throw snowballs all in our purpose built Snow play area.
Narooma
Surrounded by ocean, lakes and rivers, Narooma is a rhapsody in blue. It’s a place to dive deep with seals, paddle along glassy bays and pluck oysters from the shallows. And while it’s long been famous for its captivating natural wonders, this coastal community is fast becoming the South Coast’s most fashionable foodie destination.
Port Stephens
Embark on a journey to a place that will change your perspective. Where giant sand dunes provide the backdrop for exhilarating experiences, where dolphins and whales grace the coastline. A place where picture perfect beaches are the norm, and where the extraordinary is ordinary.
Dubbo
You might come for the Taronga Western Plains Zoo and its 4,000 lovable residents, but there are plenty of reasons you’ll want to linger longer in the Dubbo region. Like the world-class stargazing, the stunning caves, the watery wonderland that is Lake Burrendong – or just the old-fashioned country welcome you’ll receive in the ‘City of Smiles’.
Hunter Valley
It’s one of the country’s pre-eminent wine destinations, and no Hunter Valley break would be complete without experiencing its offerings at cellar doors where the architecture almost outshines the wine (but not quite). You’ll soon find the Hunter is an equally alluring food destination, too, and is brimming with outstanding accommodation options, from luxe digs to grand manors dotted among the vineyards. Every one of your senses will be sated.
Coffs Harbour
There is so much more to Coffs Harbour than the Big Banana. It’s a great place for a beach holiday – with glorious stretches of sand galore and a laid-back coastal vibe – and makes a fantastic base to explore the rainforests and waterfalls of the Waterfall Way or the incredible Solitary Islands Marine Park.
Melbourne & Geelong
Melbourne’s a lot of things, almost too many to list. And that’s the secret. You never come here for just one thing. You come here for as many different things as you can jam into your time. That’s because what we really are is a city of individuals, creating unique and enriching individual experiences for all the individuals who visit. There’s a unique bit of magic happening in Geelong and the Bellarine – think seaside getaway with all the perks of a vibrant, evolving city.
Mudgee
It’s all about the wine in Mudgee, a viticultural heartland in NSW’s Central West. And where there’s great wine, you’ll also find passionate chefs, exquisite artisanal produce and unrivalled accommodation. Toss in picture-postcard scenery, rolling green countryside and friendly locals, and it’s easy to see why the region will have you coming back for more.
