    Recharging With Spring and Winter Escapes at Billabong Retreat

    Billabong Retreat is a yoga and wellness retreat, located in Maraylya (next to Dural), just on the outskirts of Sydney. But on arrival you could be forgiven for believing that you’ve travelled for hours to get to this beautiful secluded and peaceful place.

  • The Best Holiday Destination is Isle of Pines

    The Best Holiday Destination is Isle of Pines

    We started our holiday on the mainland in Noumea. Then we were transported to island time the moment we landed on Isle of Pines. Maybe even a few moments before then. As we flew in, looking down on the reef was breathtaking. The water was so clear that we could see the reefs from up…

  • New Caledonia Provides Family Holiday Bliss

    New Caledonia is the perfect winter escape. Soak up another culture, speak another language, enjoy delicious food, and seriously slow down. If the thought of a 24 hour flight from Sydney to Paris with children terrifies you as much as it terrifies me, than New Caledonia is the place for you! At just a 2.5…

  • Our South New Caledonia Family Holiday Adventure

    Recently my family and I were lucky enough to have a holiday in Noumea, New Caledonia. To be honest, we were lucky that my husband made it, yacht racing over high seas. But I don’t really want to talk about that, since I was a super brave Mum flying with high energy 4.5 and 3…

  • Picturesque Traditional Outrigger Adventure at Isle of Pines

    Overall, our holiday adventure on a traditional outrigger during the Pirogue trip was lots of fun. Even though it was a bit disappointing not having a guide to teach us all about the history of the traditional outriggers and the Melanesian culture on the tranquil waters. For the price we were paying we were expecting…

  • Holidays Off The Grid on the Northern Beaches

    We started 2014 in the best way I could imagine, off the grid. My little family and I escaped up Coal and Candle Creek, and Smiths Creek for a few days of R&R on the boat. When I say ‘escaped’ I really do mean it, there is no phone reception in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park which…

  • Stunning Langkawi Sunset Cruise from Casa del Mar Resort

    The all inclusive Sunset Cruise at Langkawi was unbelievably enjoyable. To be honest, I think Mark and I really enjoyed stepping on another persons  boat and being looked after. Normally we are the hosts on the boat or on the boat with family helping out. It was lovely to simply step on a boat empty…

  • June Long Weekend in Mudgee

    If you are looking to explore New South Wales and have a holiday close to home then consider Mudgee. This small town has so much natural beauty and culture to explore. There are lots of wineries to visit and the Mudgee Brewing Company is a must visit for dinner and drinks with live music.

  • Iggy’s Restaurant Our Honeymoon Highlight in Singapore

    I think it is fair to say that the highlight of our Singapore trip was Mark’s birthday dinner at Iggy’s restaurant. When asked, a well travelled gastronomy friend of mine recommended Iggy’s, and she excelled herself. Right from the beginning of our Singapore experience things felt good. It is a clean, friendly place where the…
