Canberra is a fantastic place for a mini break with the family. Only four hours from Sydney, there is so much to see and do. Here are our favourite places to visit, eat and stay in Canberra with kids.
It was our 10 year wedding anniversary just recently and to celebrate we snuck off for a few days kid free to Clarendon Forest Retreat. I first heard about Clarendon Forest Retreat about 20 years ago, on an episode of Sydney Weekender and I knew I had to go there. It looked picturesque, with kangaroos and other wildlife all over the property.
New York is my number 1 holiday destination. I feel like you could go there 20 times and never see the same thing twice. My most recent trip to New York was with girlfriends for my 40th birthday, and one of the highlights was the opportunity to see a Broadway show. I love a good musical so getting to see Wicked on Broadway was absolutely magical.
Disneyland is one of our favourite holiday locations. I have helped many with my Disneyland tips and suggestions in the past and now I’m here to share them with you! Remember this is just my opinion and view of the most magical place on earth. I’ve taken you through what rides to go on when all the shows you need to see and the best places to eat. Plus keep an eye out for my special Disneyland tips! If you are just starting your Disneyland experience make sure you check out our Beginners Guide to Disneyland with Kids.
Taking a road trip with kids can either be unbelievably fun… or a new form of torture! I’ve experienced both ends so if you are heading off on a trip these holidays here are the top 5 things you need for a successful road trip with kids.
Bali is one of my all-time favourite places to visit. I’ve been so many times I’ve lost count, but I’d say well over 20! One of my favourite parts of Bali recently is all the beach clubs that have popped up. They bring a whole new level of relaxation and luxury to your holiday and they do it so well over there. To help you relax here are the best beach clubs in Bali (as far as I’m concerned anyway!)
Who needs a beginner’s guide to Disneyland with kids? If you have googled Disneyland I’m sure you have got thousands of results talking about things like FastPasses, Magic Hour and numerous other things. All these that make no sense if you have never been to Disneyland before. Or maybe you’ve been to Disneyland but never done Disneyland with kids. It’s a whole new ball game!
The Sunshine Coast is a very good destination to spend a weekend away or plan an extended holiday. Because of its mild subtropical clime, it is also a year-round destination. It stretches from south Caloundra to North Noosa.
The Sunshine Coast is not only an excellent family friendly destination but also it is a good one to keep it in mind, if you ever can plan a romantic getaway with your partner. Our favourite spot: Noosa Heads. (My advice: Don’t travel to Noosa at its peak season; it loses all its charm).
I was at the park last week when I overheard a gaggle of mums talking about family holidays and how much they hate to travel with kids. This particular conversation in the park had me hooked!
Hervey Bay is in the heart of the Fraser Coast (290km north from Brisbane). For the ones that might not know it, Hervey Bay is one of the best places in Australia for whale watching. Actually, Hervey Bay calls itself the Whale Watching capital of the world. In spite of it, Hervey Bay could be one of those forgotten holiday destinations given
its proximity to the World Heritage listed Fraser Island and due to the fact that the Whale season is in winter.
