Walking in a Winter Wonderland ❄️

Comment “IGLOO” for the booking link! 🧀🍷

We booked the 1.5 hr Raclette Igloo Experience this weekend, and with mulled wine, racelette cheese, a large charcuterie board, and your own fire pit to roast marshmallows for dessert, this is one of our favourite experiences to share with you this winter!

🗓 Till - 28th July ‘24
📍,
💲~ 99pp

Perfect for groups upto 6 or 8 people and you can book a semi private experience if you’re just 2 people as well, but we think this is a great experience to enjoy with friends this winter, so gather them up and step into winter wonderland! 🥰

GOLD RUSHHH 🍂

📍Golden Poplars, Meadow Flat near Blue Mountains is 2.5 hours away from Sydney and has some of the most beautiful colours we’ve seen in the region.

HOWEVER, it also gets super crowded, so here are some TIPS:

- Visit asap (latest by next weekend/early May)
- ⁠Aim to come before 10am or after 3pm when crowds reduce
- ⁠Check out alternate spots at Diamond Swamp Road, found an amazing spot that you can check her feed for 💛

Mt Wilson and surrounds are absolutely stunning as well, and we highly recommend combining the trip to make the most of your Autumn road trip!

WHY you must take a Great Ocean Road guided tour atleast once ⬇️

1️⃣ There's no need to drive! - It's a long drive to 12 Apostles and with the tour guide at the wheel you can have all the fun!

2️⃣ Time management
This road trip can be as long or short because it's so hard to prioritize spots! has that sorted by ensuring you see all the best highlights and don't end up just driving back from Lorne (like we did twice! 😅)

2️⃣ Unique stories
There's so much you will learn regarding the different pit stops and stories about rainforests and things you pass by which you'd never know on a trip alone

4️⃣ Don't miss the highlights
If you only have a day to explore the region this is a perfect tour to cover the best spots and great for solo travellers to make friends too!

5️⃣ Great price!
has a 10% off right now and with Free cancellations this is the perfect time to book in your tour and make that great ocean road trip finally happen!
