escape to luxury

Australians love Champagne!

There's nothing like Australian food & wine. Hand's up if you've travelled for a food and wine festival or jetted interstate to try a new restaurant in the last 12 months? Tourism Australia report high value travellers rank good food and wine in the top five most important factors when choosing a holiday destination.

Escape the winter chill with a mini-break to Port Douglas! While Melbournians might be shivering through days with a top of 13 degrees, locals in Port Douglas are basking in a pleasant 26 degrees. Where would you rather be?

I have a confession to make. When travelling across Australia checking out new properties to add to the alluxia collection, mostly I'm travelling solo. It may look all-glamorous in a bunch of idyllic locations, but there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes. Luckily, it's not all business though and I usually try and schedule some down time to explore each destination, unearthing what's new, unique and different to share with our readers.

Truffle season is in full swing!
