escape to luxury

Following a successful inaugural year, Newcastle Food Month is back, with a program of events spanning the month of April and highlighting the culinary and creative talent of Newcastle’s burgeoning food scene.

There’s an event for everyone in this year’s plentiful program - Opera over dinner in a brewery, dine in a gin distillery and degustation’s any way you like them – Spanish, Italian, Thai, Seafood or even matched with cocktails. There’s even a sustainable progressive lunch taking over a floor of hotel suites.

All the big names in Newcastle’s dining scene such as the Roundhouse at Crystalbrook Kingsley, The Flotilla, Restaurant Mason, Nagisa, Harrisons and Rustica, have designed their own unique events. Food Month Ambassador - Cakeboi Reece Hignell, also teams up with Foghorn brewery in an inspiring collaboration as well as a High Tea event at Cakeboi HQ.

Farewell 2021, sadly it was another year of covid, cancelled trips and uncertainty. However, while our passports may have been gathering dust, many of us snatched weekends away between lockdowns and border closures exploring and appreciating our great country.

Visited The Tweed for the weekend and moved a month later! Dazzled by sunny skies, luxe accommodation and divine dining, what’s not to love about The Tweed.

We asked Zeta Grealy, Owner of Origin House to share her insider tips on what she loves about The Tweed in Northern Rivers NSW.

While we may not be able to travel overseas right now, we can take our tastebuds on a trip to Greece for the opening of Atmos Port Stephens!

A splash of colourful and joyous Ken Done is the dose of happiness we all need in our lives right now.
