We’ve had some pretty exotic anniversaries in the time we’ve been together. For our first anniversary Dan surprised me with flights to Paris and for our second anniversary we treated ourselves to an unforgettable holiday to snowy Grindelwald in Switzerland! We’ve only fairly recently arrived back in Australia and so when we found out that JETGO Australia had recently launched flights from our hometown of Port Macquarie to Melbourne we were sold! We spent ages trying to find a nice hotel but as it was so last…
At the beginning of December Dan and I headed down to Melbourne for our anniversary! We had thrown a lot of ideas around about where to do, and didn’t know where could possibly top our previous anniversary getaways of Paris and Switzerland! A few weeks before our anniversary we learned that JETGO Australia had launched direct flights from Port Macquarie to Melbourne’s Essendon Airport! I’d only visited Melbourne once on a girls weekend when I was at University and Dan had never been so we…
2016 has been an incredible year! We left England in April, travelled through 12 countries and eventually settled back in Australia after two and a half years away! During our travels we’ve stayed in some incredible luxury hotels, so much so that it made it quite difficult to pick a top ten! Our top ten is quite a mixture of hotels and ranges from luxurious log cabins to the ultimate in five star luxury to glamping tents and boutique hotels. These ten hotels aren’t just…
2016 was a magical year for us, we left the UK, moved to Australia and along the way managed to tick off 12 new countries! It was really hard to narrow all the incredible experiences we had down to just 10 but somehow we managed to and can’t wait to share them with you all! 2017 will be a different year of travel for us, we won’t be ticking off 12 new countries as we’re now living Down Under but look forward to visiting at…
It’s no secret that we are both total water babies and so our travels generally never take us too far from water whether it be the sea, lake, river or a hotel with an amazing pool. When we travel we tend to book hotels with a swimming pool as there’s nothing better than coming home after a big day of exploring a new destination and diving into the refreshing water of your hotel pool. We’ve rounded up 20 of our favourite hotel pools from our…
The last weekend in October saw the Tastings on Hastings festival returned to Port Macquarie and saw our beautiful, coastal town filled with three action packed days that would delight any food lover! Tastings on Hastings is the regions premier food festival which showcases our regional farmers, artisans, food producers, wine growers, brewers, restaurants and cafes. It was a fantastic weekend that saw almost the entire community out and about, enjoying the sunshine, supporting local businesses and indulging in delicious cuisine!
If you’re a regular reader of our blog then you’ll know that last June we got engaged and since we arrived back in Australia a few months ago we’ve been planning like crazy! One of the biggest and most exciting parts for us, other than the wedding is of course our honeymoon! Dan and I have been lucky enough to have travelled extensively and have visited almost 30 countries in the last few years together and so choosing a destination for our honeymoon isn’t the easiest…
During our stay in Athens at the Herodion Hotel we spoilt ourselves with an incredible dinner at POINT a, the elegant roof top bar and restaurant which is located on the 5th floor of the hotel. It was our final night in Europe before we were flying back to Australia and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend our evening than indulging in delicious Mediterranean cuisine, sipping on unique, delicious cocktails and enjoying an uninterrupted view of the Acropolis and Parthenon.
We only had two short nights in Athens on our recent visit and so wanted a hotel that was luxurious as well as being centrally located to all the main sites. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of hotel, the Herodion Hotel which was ideally located just a few steps from the Acropolis and Plaka and adjacent to the new Acropolis Museum in the very heart of Athens historic centre. The Herodion Hotel is a stylish, first class hotel with a contemporary look…
