escape to luxury

Before we scoot into a new month, we decided to reflect on some of the great new additions to the alluxia collection.  You many not be aware, but alluxia exists to supports small, independent business and unearth the hidden gems and unique getaways from across Australia. We also build relationships and partner with owners and operators and visit the establishments to verify their quality to ensure you have a fabulous holiday.

As it's shop small month in November, you might like to consider these fine establishments!

Spring is a time for new beginnings. Shake off those winter blues and indulge in a spring getaway to feel the joy of possibilities the season can bring. Cultural festivals, sporting events and nature in bloom make these short break destinations a must-visit in springtime.

We’ve scoured the alluxia collection and gathered our Top 10 Spring Flings: 

Home to some of the oldest vines and biggest names in Australian wine, the Hunter Valley is a drawcard for lovers of a quality drop.  Word on the street is the 2014 vintage is set to be a cracker! Talk of “best ever” and “vintage of the century” are being whispered by winemakers.  Hunter Valley 2014 Semillons are being bottled and released now, whilst 2014 reds are maturing in oak barrels until their release later in 2015.

The Hunter Valley is an ideal weekend getaway with stunning vistas, great cellar door experiences and divine dining. The Hunter Valley is known for its award-wining Semillon and elegant Shiraz and with over 150 cellar doors in the region, you’re spoilt for choice. If you want to delve beyond the big name wineries and discover some hidden gems, head up some back roads to smaller, boutique wineries for a more intimate experience. We bring you a boutique list of wineries that showcase the regions best.

Winter is the perfect time to escape the hustle and bustle and unwind with family and friends. Think weekend walks, board games and hot chocolate by the fire.

We've previously written about Winter Getaways here, now to prepare you for the season ahead we bring you our Top 10 Winter Getaways that will have you feeling warm and fuzzy before you know it.
