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
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…

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…

Koh Lipe Day Trip Diving Wonders
On honeymoon, Mark and I travelled from Langkawi to Koh Lipe, a well known diving spot off the cost of Thailand. The whole day was an experience out of this world. Our driver came and picked us up from our resort and took us to the day trip desk. This is were we learnt that…

Langkawi cable car
Whilst on our honeymoon, Mark and I went up the mountain at Langkawi on the cable car. The view from up there was amazing! From the top of the mountain you could see all the islands that surround Langkawi. It was a great comparison after we had island hopped on a boat days earlier. The…

Places to Explore in Glorious Orange Rural New South Wales
After our Tiger encounter at Western Plains Zoo we hit the road and headed to Orange. The back roads were lovely. The drive from Dubbo to Wellington was thoroughly enjoyable, with long windy roads and lush green fields. We stopped in at Wellington to grab some lunch. There we were assisted by a lovely lady in…
