I have had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a new retreat place in Berry NSW. Hosted by my trusted accomodation supplier along with were spoiled to a variety of treats on offer

Space for yoga and meditation, chef cooked meals by dedicated bar tenders , picnic baskets, grazing platters, cocktails and clay with massages, and gin tasting are just some of the activities available.

Absolutely perfect for a 3 day/2 night escape with friends or a group/conference

Might just have to do a women’s retreat next year here 🤔

Japan. I have recently spent a few weeks exploring rural Japan in the search of new places to send you!

A truly year round destination with an abundance of mountains, 100’s year old hiking trails, ski slopes, waterfalls, empty towns, traditional onsen resorts and ridiculously good food.

The Yen has weakened making Japan an affordable destination to explore. My $10 lunches in Tokyo would include a beer and gyozas or a plate of sashimi.

Japan has a story to tell and with so many untapped areas to discover…. There never has been a better time to go…..

Stay tuned for some videos coming soon…

Oh Japan 🇯🇵

Why is Japan hot right now?

✅ Japan has not had inflation like we have which means the YEN to AUD conversion is to our benefit.

✅ Its clean, easy to access and diverse.

🎿 🥾 🏔️ From Skiing, hiking, biking, the beaches of Okinawa, Hot springs, Cherry Blossoms there are so many different things to do in Japan - it’s an all year destination

My top tips for Japan

🍺 Drink where the locals drink you will be surprise at the low cost of food and beverages.

💴 Cash is still very much king in Japan

🍜 Its so clean that the meaning of eating takeaway at the train station takes on all new meaning, definitely try all the food

🚽 You never have to worry about dirty public toilets its just not a thing

Stay at at traditional Ryokan at least one to experience. From wearing your Yukata to dinner, experiencing a local Kaiskei dinner with local sake and matcha tea for dessert 🤤

…Yes the public Onsen you go a la -natural

📱 Google translate is a must!

🚊 Explore outside of the major cities. Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka are all fabulous and worth a visit but heading to rural Japan really provides authentic experiences

🇯🇵 First day in Japan spend with a local guide to get the hang of transport, ordering and Japanese etiquette

Who wants to go to Japan? 🙋‍♀️

Day 2 Milford sound

The next day we woke early and headed to Milford Sound aka bucket list for many of us. Ross our guide had his hand full with a group of 14 women but kept us together, informed and on time all day, with plenty of eco facts along the way.

Firstly we drove down to Milford from our lodge, geared up and hiked to Giant Gate Waterfall, the last section of the multi day Milford Sound hike. With anticipation we headed out on the water taxi through Milford Sound to the beginning of the hike. An 11 KM hike alongside the cascading Arthur River through lush rainforest to Giant Gate Waterfall. After lunch and a hot tea we hiked back and boarded our scenic Milford Sound cruise. The cruise literally went under waterfalls and along the way we saw dolphins, seals and an abundance of wildlife. After our cruise we headed back to our lodge for spas, wine and another three course meal.

Pictures and words can not do justice to the scenery of this day… but I will give it a go.

Well what can I say, somethings are worth waiting for and NZ didn’t disappoint…

Recap of Day 1 and 2….

We headed down to the on Sunday afternoon as everyone arrived. We were greeted with canapés, keys to our rooms and dinner. The biggest choice was what to select for entrees/main, desserts and wine. I went the yellowfin Tuna Tartare, Fresh Fish and local cheeses for dessert and of course the obligatory NZ pinot.

With our bellies full, we went to bed with excitement for the first day of hiking.

Monday was a day not to forget. Our helicopters arrived on scheduled to the lodge to chopper us to Luxmore Hut the start of our hike. No words to describe this but WOW and pictures don’t do it justice. At everyone’s own pace we walked further up to the summit and then back to Luxmore Hut and then all the way down to the lake for a water taxi back to the lodge. A long but satisfying day. Our passionate hiking guides ensured we were well equiped with gear, lunch and knowledge of our environment.

After our hike, we had a sneaky spa, wine and another three course dinner. Tonight I had the Venison curry and local Salmon… with a NZ pinot or two.

Off to sleep we went ready for a bucket list day tomorrow…Milford sound….

19/03/2023

Finally….after two years of planning and waiting we are here!

In the early times of COVID we were told that NZ border will open first. In the midst of lockdown I designed a luxury women’s hiking getaway. Posted an Expression of Interest on my Instagram page and booked out in moments!

Of course, NZ didn’t open first and in fact the NZ border didn’t open early enough for the 2022 hiking season. So in 2023 we are finally here. Postponed, postponed and now we are ready to go.

Over the next 4 days we are heading down to a gorgeous lodge, hiking 3 of the great walks of NZ and wining and dining in style. Follow my insta stories for updates along the way.

Can’t wait to show you this special part of the world 🌎

Friday feels…. Who is working and dreaming about a Friday long lunch 🙋‍♀️

Who knows where this famous restaurant is?

22/01/2023

Who remembers the old paper tickets? We are in the process of moving and found some old travel itineraries. Including our first trip overseas as a couple. We had no money and were excited to be paying $18 a night for a beach bungalow in Koh Phangan. The world has certainly changed since then

Planning a family holiday

Family holidays are such an amazing experience and your kids will remember it forever. Every family travels differently and one family’s perfect holiday might be completely different to the next. There are so many different ways to travel as a family, I love discovering what the perfect trip looks like for each family and making it happen!

I have always loved travelling, there is something about packing your bags and heading on that adventure. Watch more about me why I do what do ✈️

Take me back to the best hotel in Darwin! Pool access interconnecting rooms, swim to the pool bar and a play at the tables at Mindil Beach Casino Darwin, the only 5 star hotel rooms in town🍹 ⭐️

Pop the bubbles 🥂 the Trans-Tasman bubble is here! 🇳🇿 We can now go across the ditch for a holiday. ✈️ Fly Gold Coast to Auckland and Christchurch; Queenstown coming 🔜 ✈️ Fly Brisbane to Queenstown, Auckland and more Who has NZ on their travel radar this year 🙋‍♀️

Looks like the rest of Australia will know about our paradise found @tiwiislandretreat

Uruguay. This was a highlight! We went for a horse ride along the beach and the tide was up on our return. So the guides had to walk the horses through the water to get back. Some things you never forget!

AFL Grand Final in Brisbane .... once in a lifetime. Thank you @kennardshire and @condev_construction

Leaving Alice Springs last week, we had a clear view of the @singaporeair planes having a little rest and waiting for Covid to end. The dry desert air allows for the aircraft to remain to good condition for the future. I can’t wait to be back on one of these big birds.

Our 6 day walk was fully supported and guided. We had three guides that did everything; cook, set up camp, clean up, guide us, carry supplies, took care of our blisters. Every night we had a delicious 3 course meal cooked on an open fire and kitchen. Half the group were vegetarian and everyone was well catered for. I’m sure I ate more veggies last week than at home plus barramundi, roast beef and lamb shanks. So yum! Our evening dinner menu explained to us 👌
