escape to luxury

THE LOOK

When you arrive at Thala Beach Lodge you’re greeted with a fruity concoction in a tall glass, decorated with a pineapple wedge, as your luggage is whisked away allowing you to take a moment after travelling to breath deep and relax - you’ve arrived at your destination so let the holiday begin!  Thala Beach Lodge is set on 60 hectares, with bungalows scattered along the landscape, leading to the main reception where ceiling fans languidly swirl at Osprey restaurant. It’s timeless and reminiscent of Dirty Dancing & I love it.

We asked Lisa Maclaren, Resort Manager at Smiths Beach Resort to share his insider tips on what she loves about Margaret River!

Bondi to Tamarama, NSW

24 October – 10 November 2013

Sydney’s famed Bondi to Coogee walk just got a whole lot more interesting. 

With school holidays upon us, we’re turning the spotlight on some of our favourite family holiday houses.

The family holiday use to be pretty simple, pack the station wagon and head up or down the coast for the annual trip. It all seemed a lot less complicated.  While the traditional holiday on the coast remains popular, time is now the new luxury and the choice has never been greater.

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.
