The Rise Noosa - Girls Getaway - 40 & Fabulous!

If you’ve ever been tasked with organising a special event for friends or family, you’ll be familiar with the stress and anxiety I felt when organising a friend’s 40^th Birthday Girls Getaway recently.  There is so much to consider in the logistics and ultimately, will your plans please everyone?  In the days leading up to the event, there were calls from concerned friends “have you thought about theming?” and “Maybe we could have a yoga instructor come to the apartment?”

One of my best girlfriends shared an article recently, which really resonated that we can’t expect our partners to be everything in our life and that spending time with our girlfriends is good for our health!

It’s no secret we love our food & wine adventures here at alluxia, and it’s high time we presented you with the best winery weekend accommodation.  Australia’s best wine producing regions are also amongst the most beautiful places in the country, with rolling hills and vines as the backdrop to your weekend getaway.

If you’re dreaming of a weekend of wine tasting and gourmet picnic lunches, either as a romantic getaway or fun with friends - book your boutique vineyard accommodation for your next mini-break with a difference. Next month, we’re heading to Margaret River but until then, here are alluxia’s Top Ten Winery Weekends:

This weekend’s Regional Flavours festival promises to delight the senses focusing on the joys of food. Gather the troops and feast on the very best Queensland has to offer.

Summertime is always a good time to head to the coast for the ultimate Australian beach holiday. But what appeal does a beach destination hold in winter?  Heaps!! Without the distraction of the sun, sand & surf, you can discover the best places to eat, drink and caffeinate making it the perfect, relaxing romantic getaway.

It’s Bastille Day and in honour of all things French, we’ve compiled our favourite French inspired boutique hotels and luxe accommodation.  Leave your passport at home and getaway for a romantic weekend in French style. Vive la France!
