Pretty great to spend the morning aboard Kokomo II. Celebrating the RE-opening of Fiji on the 1st of December and the beautiful Kokomo Private Island Fiji ready to welcome back our guests and take extra special care of them.

Thanks Sharon, Sean & Tara for hosting Smartflyer and the most beautiful brunch as we sailed around Sydney Harbour - good job at holding off the rain!

The news we’ve all been waiting for! NSW residents will no longer be required to quarantine to travel internationally. This applies to double vaxxed only.

We’ve already been working closely with clients to get trips off the ground and this has just made it that much sweeter!

Where are you headed first and how can we help get you there hassle free?

With Freedom Day officially upon NSW residents and Australian borders set to open soon, the world just became a whole lot smaller.

I can’t wait to get you travelling again.

It’s exciting to see everyone making plans again - dining out, catching up with friends and getting the all important travel plans in place.

So many things on my list but I’m going to take it slow - what will you do first?

11/10/2021

We've been busy at Design Travel Group HQ. Although for my Aussie clients travel has been limited, it's exciting to see some promising information on the opening of International borders.

For many, we have continued to book travel in spite of what Covid and it's limitations has thrown at us in the last 18 months.

For those who have been unable or not comfortable booking travel WELCOME BACK !

With Australian borders set to open soon, the world just became a whole lot smaller. Although it would be an understatement to say that COVID-19 has changed how international and domestic travel for that matter will look.

Now more than ever it will be important to work with a trusted advisor and a travel company that has the knowledge, industry experience and connections to ensure you are being given the right information, you feel safe, secure and confident that your travel plans can be executed and you have flexibility if last minute changes need to occur.

Design Travel Group has continued to work with clients and has remained connected to our global partners during the pandemic.

We've created amazing holidays for clients in Australia and around the world, we have also spent a large amount of time unwinding, refunding, arranging credits and rebooking clients sometimes 2-3 times. We are happy to do this and continue to provide value and service to our loyal clients.

A sentiment that resonates with me from Awasi a Relais & Châteaux group of 3 lodges in some of South Americas iconic destinations. ".....we are not back, we have always been here"

I look forward to helping you bring your travel dream to life.

A cute little Sydney gem The Old Clare Hotel stretches across two heritage listed buildings, located in the heart of Chippendale with everything the city has to offer within easy reach.

You don’t need to go far for a great dining experience - right outside your door is Spice Alley and dozens of great bars and restaurants.

After a day of exploring, take a dip or just relax poolside. The rooftop is the place to be - start with a cocktail or a tasty snack. You can even have breaky up there.

As you’d expect from a boutique hotel the rooms are all unique and are a mix of industrial and contemporary design peppered with many heritage features left in tact.

Design Travel Group guests always receive a little extra love - think upgrades, early check in and check out and upgrades where available.

Last night I got a peek into Crown Sydney. I loved it. I think it definitely warrants staying 2 nights there is so much to do.

With 14 restaurants and bars featuring spectacular views of Sydney Harbour, you'll be spoilt with a range of fine dining venues, signature restaurants and cool bars. Many book out well in advance so pre-palnning is essential. Our group dined in a private room at Woodcut where the techniques include cooking with fire, steam, smoke and ice - beautiful ingredients simply cooked. Along with incredible food and delicious wine we were introduced to the owners Sunny and Ross which was another highlight of my evening they do a great job at making guests feel welcome and at home. The culinary line up is significant I can't wait to go back to try more.

On my hit list is Yoshii's Omakase where Chef “Yoshii” hosts an exclusive Omakase restaurant experience at Nobu, for up to twelve guests where he selects, curates and serves the freshest produce in what I think would be the ultimate dining experience.

The service throughout the hotel begins when you pull up to it's incredible entrance and extends to every part of the hotel including dining outlets, bars, the spa and the pool it is personal and friendly.

It's a great venue to host a special event with many spaces to accommodate private groups and they cater very well with villas up to 3 bedrooms perfect for big families.

The rooms are spacious and welcoming with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. For those who like a little outdoor space like me then I recommend the villas. Nothing nicer than sitting on a comfy outdoor lounge on your private terrace taking in incredible views with your beverage of choice in hand.

Of course an incredible bathroom is a must in any luxury hotel and these did not disappoint. Complete with deep soaker tubs, showers big enough for 2 and clad in the most divine marble.

Other highlights include the Crown Spa and the expansive outdoor pool deck perfect for a swim, hang out and relax and enjoy a cocktail.

I am excited about this Sydney hotel. I'd love to organise your next stay or event.

Byron Bay has definitely been one of my most requested destinations in NSW. I am excited about how many excellent accommodation options are available.

The Manor is a little piece of coastal holiday perfection for families or larger groups. This original Byron Bay cottage, with its beautiful stained glass windows, airy light-filled rooms with lots of big glass windows to take in the Byron sunshine, high ceilings and timber bifold windows and doors opening out onto a lush garden and grassed area with its own splash pool, is pure sophisticated luxury.

Interiors are on point with plenty of space for everyone to relax, connect or retreat. The home has 4 bedrooms and they are huge and luxurious.

The full kitchen will make it easy to cook up a feast using some of the freshest locally grown produce available at the many Byron and nearby Hinterland markets, or maybe cook up the catch of the day from the seafood market on the outdoor bbq kitchen is an option.

The Manor is elegant, relaxed, quintessential Byron Bay. If you are planning a Byron getaway with the family or a group of friends this could be it.

Thanks for the share. Perfect and easy escape ❤️

A night or two in a Sydney hotel could be the perfect escape.

If the idea of daily breakfast, hotel credit and upgrades sounds great then that's what you will get when booking with me and of course flexible booking conditions.

Here are some great examples of special benefits that my clients are getting when they book with me.

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney is a beautiful hotel and a great city location. Newly renovated partial harbour view rooms on a Saturday night average $285 per room if booking with the hotel directly. As a Design Travel Group guest you get the same rate but with special inclusions such as daily breakfast for two, a $100 credit to spend at the hotel on food & beverage and where available upgrades, early check in and late check out.

How about the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney where a night in a deluxe Opera House city room will cost $320 on a Saturday night when booking directly. You will pay the same rate if you book with me but you'll get daily breakfast for two, a $100 credit which can be put towards an incredible meal at Altitude or cocktails and canapes at Blu Bar 36 along with the possibility of upgrades and late check in and check out.

An iconic stay at Park Hyatt Sydney is a real treat. In a beautiful king bed harbour view room with private balcony on a mid week stay you'll pay $2550 for 3 nights with daily breakfast directly with the hotel. When booking with Design Travel Group you will get the same room, daily breakfast for two, $100 credit to spend at the hotel on food & beverage or towards a lovely spa treatment for the same room category and 3 nights for $1700. There are also great rates for single night stays if that's all the time you have.

Please note that rates quoted are indicative but just to highlight the benefits of booking with Design Travel Group. In addition you will receive some extra love in the form of breaky, hotel credit to spend at restaurants or the bar along with upgrades, early check in and late check out where possible.

Like us, every hotel is different and offers a unique experience. I would love to connect you with the perfect option and help you plan and take care of your next Australian escape.

You don't have to go to the Maldives to sleep underwater! Australia's first underwater accommodation lets you spend a magical night with a front row seat to the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland.

There are actually two unique experiences at Cruise Whitsundays Reef World. Above the water it's 12 Reefsleep beds and below you'll find 2 fully submerged Reefsuites.

Cruise Whitsundays Reef World is a permanently moored Pontoon where you can spend a night and take some time to swim, snorkel, dive and explore this amazing natural ecosystem.

After the day-trippers head back to shore around 3pm, the pontoon and the reef are yours along with other guests. Enjoy a sunset drink before your evening meal is served on deck, featuring fresh and delicious local produce. You can enjoy your time on the pontoon without day-trippers until around 11am the following morning.

Your overnight Reefsleep experience will be in a Reefbed essentially a swag built for two. After a full day on the water enjoy all the reef has to offer - it's just you, the ocean and a galaxy of stars. Reefsuites give a whole new meaning to ‘a room with a view’ and you’ll awake to see the marine life going about another day on the world-heritage listed reef they call home. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and an exclusive morning on the reef before heading home in the afternoon with memories that will stay with you forever.

Reeflseep, Reefsuites and Visit Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia feature in Australian Traveller top 100 list of the best experiences, destinations and places to stay in Australia.

I love this family itinerary which showcases the contrasts of Far North Queensland; rainforest, reef and rugged outback.

With Cairns as your gateway travel overland and inland from Cairns to Mount Mulligan Lodge. Australia’s newest luxury lodge is the epitome of Australian outback in style. Set on a 28,000-hectare heritage site and working cattle farm, Mount Mulligan Lodge offers a wide range of outdoor and adventure activities, combined with stylish accommodation, excellent service, fine food and wine.

Enjoy outback adventures from birdwatching to barramundi fishing, hiking, kayaking, paddle-boarding, ATV touring, stargazing and more.

Return to the coast, enjoying the contemporary tropical surrounds of Niramaya Villas & Spa where you can retreat in your own luxury self contained villa from one to five bedrooms complete with private plunge pool.

From here it's a short stroll to the coconut fringed sands of Four Mile Beach - and leads all the way to the centre of Port Douglas which has the feel of a sleepy fishing village but all of life's necessities with great restaurants, laid back beach culture, golf and hundreds of tours that depart from Port Douglas daily.

One unique activity you should definitely put on your list is River Drift Snorkeling with Back Country Bliss Adventures. A rainforest experience like no other - float along with the current as you search for turtles, fish, and the occasional Platypus!

Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, learn Dreamtime legends in Mossman Gorge and drift on the Mosman River under the ancient rainforest canopy with a collection of inclusive day touring. Red rock, lush green rainforests, turquoise waters and technicolour fish. This is Far North Queensland at its colourful best!

The Daintree National Park is the only place in the world where two World Heritage-listed sites meet: The Daintree and Great Barrier Reef.

If you love a wildlife adventure then a stay on Lady Elliot Island could be just the ticket and combined with Brisbane its the perfect mix of nature and a cosmopolitan city.

Some great Brisbane hotels worth checking out are The Calile Hotel, Ovolo Hotels, For architecture, art and design lovers The Fantauzzo and Artserieshotels The Johnson.

Take a full-day private tour learning about one of Australia’s most curious and iconic animals, the koala. Get hands on and go-behind the scenes to learn all about these most endearing and endangered creatures enjoying exclusive access at Lone Pine Sanctuary and the UQ Hidden Vale Wildlife Centre. Hear about, and contribute to, local conservation efforts and philanthropic projects.

Continue the wildlife adventures with a visit to Lady Elliot Island, staying at the sustainability-focused Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort. The picturesque coral cay at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef is a sanctuary for over 1,200 species of marine life, with opportunities to kayak over corals in a ‘glass bottom’ boat, swim with turtles and snorkel with manta rays.

Other activities include bird watching, night walks to spot ghost crabs, and guided reef walks to learn about the local clams, corals and colourful fish of all shape and sizes. Watch turtles nesting in the summer months (November
to March) and look out for migrating whales in the winter (June to October).

Access to Lady Elliott Island is by small chartered flight from Brisbane and takes about 80 minutes. Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort is a world-leading, award-winning ecologically sustainable tourism operator dedicated to protecting and enhancing Lady Elliot Island, the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding communities.

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort is a low key resort and offers a range of comfortable accommodation options, with each unit, tent and cabin designed to minimise impact on the Island while enriching the overall guest experience of the environment and seasonal wildlife. In keeping with the natural, eco-friendly practices there are no telephones, television, radios or Wi-Fi available in the rooms. Limited Wi-fi available in the restaurant. A true opportunity to Recharge & Reconnect.

A perfect combination would be a few nights in Brisbane or even the Gold Coast followed by 3 nights on Lady Elliot Island.

I can help you plan your next Australian adventure.

If Covid has you feeling a little flat but you can't quite commit to a 7 day wellness escape then Gaia Retreat & Spa could be the perfect solution.

This beautiful oasis is located in Byron Bay Hinterland on 25 acres. They have packages from 2 to 7 nights that focus on restore, refresh and timeless beauty. Retreats for mothers and daughters and a 2 night lovers escape.

Packages include gourmet meals and snacks, tailored wellness consultations, morning yoga, daily activities, use of all Gaia facilities, spa vouchers and even a bottle of bubbly and chocolates.

It's a perfect combination with a stay in Byron Bay by the beach or head a little further North and spend some time at one of my absolute favourite NSW hotels Halcyon House on beautiful Cabarita Beach. It's the perfect place to spend 2 or 3 nights.

Dine at the award winning, hatted restaurant Paper Daisy, take a personalised spa journey at Halcyon Spa using Australian skincare brand Sodashi or just sit back and relax poolside with a perfectly made cocktail.

I don't think you will want to leave but if you do there are some fun activities that can be arranged that will allow you to explore the area. Think hot air ballooning, stand up paddle board or kayaking, morning yoga, horse riding on the beach, a spot of fishing, take the complimentary bikes to Kingscliff, visit a local winery or a picnic.

I've been thinking about a wellness escape and as soon as I can I am planning a visit to Eden Health Retreat in the Currumbin Valley. I like to take some time out and reset at least once a year .

Soothe the soul and be nurtured by nature with a four-night self-dive mini-break exploring South East Queensland.

Unwind with fine wines in canopied contentment at SanctuarybySirromet glamping accommodation. You can enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of the estate’s winery, enjoying premium tastings and a gourmet lunch overlooking the peaceful bushland setting only 30 minutes from Brisbane. For families Stradbroke and Moreton Island are close and fun to explore and the kids will love the family tents.

Moreton Island is a protected sand island known for its beaches and steep dunes, like Mount Tempest. On the west coast, a dive site features coral and tropical fish around a group of sunken boats called the Tangalooma Wrecks and this is also fun to snorkel. A dolphin feeding spot is nearby. Humpback whales can be viewed from Cape Moreton, the site of a 19th-century lighthouse.

Stradbroke Island famous for its scenic headlands, freshwater lakes, rolling surf and endless white sandy beaches. Three little towns on the island provide a relaxed village atmosphere – with Point Lookout being the best land-based whale-watching site in the world.

Picnic, cycle, swim, kayak and diving are just some of the ways to spend your days and for a cultural experience the Spirits of the Red Sand is a world-class Aboriginal theater and dinner show that takes you beyond the Dreamtime to 1800’s Australia – where the British and Aboriginal ways of life collide. An evening of cultural awakening, Spirits of the Red Sand will open your eyes to the history, beauty and vibrancy of the Aboriginal people.

Continue further south to enjoy the tranquillity of Spicers Peak Lodge, an intimate and luxurious mountain-top retreat. With spectacular views of the Scenic Rim this is your playground in nature, enjoy scenic hikes and guided wildlife walks, mountain-biking and birdwatching, fabulous food and fine wine.

Spicers Peak Lodge offers helicopter touring options, guided 4WD nature tours, campfire canapes, cocktail master-classes, a spectacular infinity pool and day spa. Return home, relaxed and rejuvenated.

I recommend 2 nights in each as a minimum. Fly to Brisbane and rent a car for the easiest way to explore the area.

You will always receive the same rate as booking the hotel directly along with exclusive offers and of course little extras.

I would love to help you plan and take care of your next Australian escape.

I love Noosa and it's one of those places I could return to over and over.

What's not to love? Great restaurants, bars, I'm not much of a shopper but for those that do love a little retail therapy there are plenty of stores to keep you occupied. It's a wellness and nature destination and Noosa National Park is perfect to walk through at the end of the day.

You could easily spend a week in Noosa but I would encourage you to include a trip to the Hinterland as well.

From the land and sea, farm gates and farmers markets, cooking schools and craft breweries, wineries and waterfront restaurants, the Sunshine Coast and its Hinterland hills serve up a smorgasbord of delicious local produce.

Start with the hinterland to begin your foodie adventure and check into Spicers Clovelly Estate for a few nights, it's an easy 40 minute drive from Maroochydore airport. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and native rainforests, Spicers Clovelly Estate has a reputation for exceptional gourmet food. Dine at the property’s hatted restaurant The Long Apron and discover the region’s fabulous fresh produce.

Passionate foodies should try a private culinary tour where you will meet talented local food producers and sample the wonderful local produce.

Travel to the coast for some sun & sand with a stay in Noosa. Surf, swim, kayak across the sea, or visit one of many local markets that showcase regional organic produce and artisanal fare.

There are some great accommodation options located on the vibrant Hastings Street. Depending on your taste and budget I can recommend the perfect option for you. However a couple of my favourites include the absolute beachfront apartments at Seahaven Noosa Resort and Tingirana Noosa. There are also some incredible private homes on offer.

For me it's all about the ocean and there is something special about being right on the beach. Although Main Beach draws the most crowds there are a handful of other beaches definitely worth your time including Sunshine Beach, the peaceful Tea Tree Bay in the heart of Noosa National Park, and the idyllic Peregian Beach.

Noosa is considered a ‘foodie’ Mecca and takes its food seriously! Using only the very best, often award winning local produce sourced from the surrounding hinterland, Pacific Ocean and the Noosa River, it’s no coincidence that Noosa’s dining scene is one of the most popular in Australia.

Some of my favourites include Bistro C, Season Restaurant, Kaali Gourmet Indian, Miss Money Penny for sundowners serving creative cocktails and modern Mediterranean, Noosa Beach House located in the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort. You can't beat Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club for great drinks, food and fantastic view. The best people watching has to be at Aromas Restaurant and Bar and for the best fish taco in town Xalapa. I could go on for days about the great food in Noosa I'd love to hear your recommendations.

You will always receive the same rate as booking the hotel directly along with exclusive offers and some little extras.

If you are planning to travel in Australia I would love to take care of you.
