I love to put together amazing experiences for my clients and because I'm mobile I have flexible working hours to suit you.
🎥 theme parks are definitely different when travelling for kids (lining up for ages to get on small rides not the thrill rides we wanted to go on) but it was worth it to see the kids faces when they met all of the characters 💗 Tip: the tacos at Dirty Harrys are amazing 😋
Any trip to the far south coast NSW in December or January needs to include a visit to the 🫐 We were lucky they extended their season and went there on Saturday and the kids had so much fun picking blueberries and strawberries. Their berry ice cream is amazing as well! They have one more weekend left to visit on the 19th and 20th of February 💗🫐💗🍓💗
I am so blessed to have beautiful clients who are also talented and have the most amazing skincare range! The wonderful Nat from just sent me this wonderful care package after their Fiji trip. Her and her husband Nicholas are just the most lovely and caring people and I’m so lucky to have them as my clients and friends 🌺 💗🌺
Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef is such a bucket list moment. I love seeing my clients photos and hearing about their amazing time experiencing such a magical part of Australia. Thanks for taking such great care of my clients as always 💗
Covid kept pushing this FNQ honeymoon back but I finally got the lovebirds away (after a few different attempts due to border closures). How amazing does the pool look at 😍
The Christmas holidays are almost upon us and today the Queensland premier has announced the Queensland border will reopen for vaccinated travellers.
This is super exciting news and just in time for the school holidays. There is still some availability in all of your favourite Queensland destinations but accommodation is filling up fast.
Contact me today to lock in your Queensland holiday before its too late!
International borders are almost open! It is so exciting that travel is back. I can't wait to help you book your perfect holiday. Contact me today to lock in your dream getaway! [email protected]
I hope everyone is having a great long weekend and getting up to some adventures like my client meeting the quokkas on Rottnest Island 😍
To get a good quokka selfie yourself contact me today 👌🏻
If you want to get your blood pumping (and a face full of water) a tour to Crystal Canyon to go canyoning is a must from Cairns! It includes rock jumps ranging from 1-7 metres, abseils up to 30 metres high and a fun zip line (just don’t go upside down like Myles did on his go haha)!
If you’re looking for a different dining experience in Cairns why not try the Aquarium by twilight tour with 3 course dinner. You get exclusive after hours access to the aquarium which includes a welcome drink and appetisers, an ecologist 2 hour guided tour where you can see for yourself how the marine animals behaviour changes as the sun sets, then a further two courses at Dundee’s restaurant on site with views of their 70,000 litre saltwater aquarium within the restaurant!
Check out some of the amazing photos my clients got during their dining experience last night 😍
I’m at home in a woolly jumper and slippers and my clients are sending me selfies from the Novotel Cairns swim up bar! I’d much rather be there third wheeling with them.
If you are also keen to escape the cold and crash their FNQ holiday (or book one for yourself) contact me today!
My Canberra clients have the right idea! Instead of waking up to -3 today, they are spending the day snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef👌🏻
If winter blues are getting you down, contact me and I can send you somewhere to thaw out 🌞
It is so exciting to see domestic travel bookings picking up again. Last month I sent a dancing school to the Gold Coast for workshops, I had an elopment in Port Douglas, an extremely belated honeymoon to Tasmania, some staycations in Sydney, hiking in Jindabyne and a family holiday to Canberra.
This month Far North Queensland is definitely getting alot of love with numerous clients heading up to Cairns and Port Douglas to escape the Winter cold.
Just remember the June school holidays are coming up fast and hotels are already starting to be booked out.
If you're ready to book your next adventure I would love to hear from you [email protected]
On Sunday we split up for the first time all trip. Louie went and did an oyster tour at the Freycinet Marine Farm. During the tour they get up close and personal with all aspects of oyster farming and get to enjoy some oysters at the end. Iris, Nash and I dropped Louie off and drove the twenty minutes through Coles Bay into Freycinet National Park. There was an option to do a two hour return hike to Wineglass Bay lookout but I didn’t like my chances of not having to carry two children for at least part of that, so we went the safer option of Honeymoon bay. There is a small car park and an easy five minute walk down to the beautiful scenery here. It was chilly but we all went for a paddle and the kids loved waving to everyone doing the kayak tour as they went past. We had lunch with Daddy at the oyster farm where they had half a crayfish and sides for only $38! We then drove the two hours to Launceston to catch up with some family for dinner then check into Peppers Silo hotel for our two night stay.
Saturday was Salamanca market day. The kids loved exploring all the stalls and getting freshly squeezed apple juice. From there we drove to MONA which you could visit for the architecture alone. We had to brush off some questions about some exhibitions haha. The children loved the outdoor playground and ice cream stand, the live music, bars and food outlets could also warrant a visit on their own without even stepping foot into the museum. After MONA we drove the two hours and twenty minutes to Bicheno. We stopped off at Richmond for a quick visit to the bridge, then enjoyed some lobster when we got into Bicheno by the water before our penguin tour. Nash loved the “ducks” as he kept yelling out whenever they waddled past, Iris was paranoid they would bite her toes haha! On Sunday we split up and did two different activities but more about that tomorrow!
Yesterday we cruised the majestic Gordon River with World Heritage Cruises who are family owned and operated since 1896. First stop was Hells Gates and because we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather (and the roaring forties were being nice) we actually left the harbour and went all the way up to Cape Sorell and Whale Rock where a lot of boats in the past have been lost. We then visited Liberty Point where the local aquaculture pens stock Atlantic salmon and trout, and spotted some cheeky seals trying to get an easy meal. Next stop was Sarah Island and the convict ruins, this place had the reputation for being one of the harshest convict settlements. Some dolphins followed us for part of this. Last stop was cruising up the World Heritage Gordon River to Heritage landing for a walk through the amazing ancient rainforests. Iris and Nash also got to visit the captain and co pilot some of the river (well they thought so haha)
After investing in a beautiful Huon Pine serving platter from the local saw mill we drove from Strahan to Hobart via Queenstown. The scenery was breathtaking! We are now set up in Hobart at Somerset on the Pier in a premier family apartment which is the perfect location to explore Hobart and surrounds over the next couple of days.
Yesterday was Devonport to Cradle Mountain. It took about an hour to disembark in Devonport with everyone’s temperatures being checked and Tassie entry permits checked. Our first stop was Sheffield to check out the murals, we also checked out some of the shops and got some bargains. Cradle Mountain was next and we parked at the visitor centre to get the shuttle down to Dove Lake. This 6-7km walk normally takes about two hours but we did it with the children so it took three hours. Our four year old lasted most of it but got carried out by Daddy in the end, Nash was carried and had a great time pointing at everything. They advise to go clockwise, the end of the hike is a lot more intense than the start. I wouldn’t recommend doing it with small children unless you’re prepared to carry them like we did. We stayed at Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village in a family cabin and had dinner at Hellyers restaurant where the food was amazing, but pricey. The cabins do have a kitchen so you could easily cook in to save money. At 7 we headed to Devils at Cradle to do their sunset experience. You get to pat one of the baby Tasmanian Devils and have a guided tour of the sanctuary focusing on the devils and quolls. It ended with beverages and dessert as the sun sets while the Devils get their dinner.
Yesterday we drove the 3 1/2 hours from
Albury to Melbourne to board the Spirit of Tasmania. We stopped at Glenrowan to visit where Ned Kelly had his last stand, all of the locals were so lovely and friendly there. Boarding for the Spirit of Tasmania started from 4:30pm for a 7pm departure which was an easy and straight forward process. We had a four berth porthole cabin and the kids slept really well. We had dinner onboard at the Tasmanian Market Kitchen which had great food, then tired the kids out at the playground on level 10, which conveniently had a bar right next to it 😉 today we are off to Cradle Mountain ⛰
Our family road trip has begun! First stop was Gundagai to visit the dog on the tucker box then onto Albury for one night. We stayed at the Albury Manor House in a family room- great service, food and beds! Today we are heading to Melbourne to get on the Spirit of Tasmania for the night crossing 🙌🏻

Melbourne’s first luxury lifestyle hotel with its rebellious Flinders Lane address will open February 4th. W Melbourne takes its design cues from the streets of Australia’s cultural capital, holding the back-lane entrance keys to what’s New/Next in the city, revealing a playground where the early risers to the late-night revellers can turn up the tracks. Extending the laneway culture inside, 294 bold rooms and suites peel back the layers and revel in the city’s history.
To be one of the first to stay in this amazing hotel email me [email protected] today!
