Looking for an excuse for a Melbourne getaway?

Sophisticated and luxurious are not words usually synonymous with Brisbane’s inner-city Caxton Street. But that’s all about to change with the opening of Brisbane’s newest luxury boutique hotel, Gambaro Hotel. The strip has recently being gentrified with the addition of neighbouring hip watering hole Lefty’s Old Time Music Hall and cool gastro pub Statler & Waldorf making Caxton Street the entertainment hot spot once more.

Melbourne is the ideal weekend getaway. This vibrant city boasts a wealth of things to see and do and has an unrivalled food scene. Whether you’re seeking high-end shopping, watch a sporting event, attend a foodie festivals or stroll art galleries, Melbourne offers it all.

Autumn, the season of rolling mists and falling leaves invites long drives in the country and picknicking the old fashioned way. That glorious time of year when there’s a chill in the air that invites you to snuggle up in a quaint cottage, with crackling fire place and some top notch regional wine. Sound good?

There’s nothing quite like devouring a few well-chosen book on holidays, especially in an inspiring setting and curling up on the window seat overlooking the Great Ocean Road, might just be the perfect spot for a bit of drama or romance…

From Aireys Inlet to Apollo Bay, the Great Ocean Road is a tempting mix of natural beauty and nostalgic attractions.
