Spring Into Summer: Your Next Girls Getaway Starts Here

Spring has officially sprung, the days are getting longer, and there’s that little feeling in the air that summer is just around the corner.

Which can only mean one thing…

It’s time to start planning your next Girls Getaway.

After months of winter hibernation, we’re ready for sunshine, long lunches, poolside moments, beautiful places and, most importantly, time together.

Whether your idea of the perfect escape is a massage followed by a mimosa, a leisurely weekend in the Hunter Valley or a little coastal pampering, we’ve rounded up five of our favourite ways to Spring into Summer with the girls.

Because the best kind of summer plans are the ones you make together.

Hacienda Haven - Central Coast

For the girls who love:

Champagne with a side of sunshine
Coastal luxe and beautiful interiors
The beach just a stroll away
Bottomless brunch with a side of “just one more Aperol”
Feeling like you’ve escaped to a Mediterranean villa without the long-haul flight

Hacienda Haven is bringing serious coastal summer escape energy to the Central Coast.

Think two nights in your own three bedroom Hacienda, complete with coastal luxe furnishings, a spacious outdoor terrace and the beach right on your doorstep. Add a short stroll to cafés, shops and restaurants and you’ve got the perfect setting for a seriously fabulous girls’ getaway.

Arrive to a delicious grazing box loaded with cheeses, meats, dips, nuts, pâté and crackers — because no girls’ weekend should begin without snacks.

Then it’s time for the main event…

A 2 hour Italian style Bottomless Brunch, complete with delicious share dishes and two hours of free flowing classic Margaritas, Tommy’s Margaritas or Aperol Spritz.

Basically, lunch plans have never looked so good.

…. and because we believe there’s always room for a little extra indulgence, you can add on a cocktail jug and small plates at Margarita Daze, Umina’s waterfront cocktail bar, or settle in for a 2 course lunch at The Box, where you can dine right on the water.

Feeling like you need a little more me time? Add a 30 or 60 minute massage and let the holiday mode fully kick in.

It’s coastal. It’s delicious. It’s effortlessly luxe.

And it’s the kind of weekend where someone inevitably says:

"Should we just stay another night?"

Perfect for:

Girls’ weekends with a coastal luxe twist
Birthdays and special celebrations
Mums who deserve a proper escape
The friendship group who loves good food, cocktails and a little pampering
Anyone who thinks a 2 hour bottomless brunch is an excellent life choice

Massages & Mimosas - Port Stephens

For the girls who love:

A massage before a mimosa
Poolside resort vibes
Two hours of bottomless mimosas
Sea views and sunshine
A girls’ weekend where the only hard decision is massage or facial

Massages & Mimosas is bringing the ultimate girls’ escape to beautiful Nelson Bay.

Think two nights in your own contemporary 2 or 3 bedroom apartment, with resort, pool or water views, a heated swimming pool with cascading waterfall, spa, all just a short stroll from the cafés, restaurants and boutique shops of Nelson Bay.

Basically, everything you need for a fabulous weekend is right on your doorstep.

First things first… pamper time.

Settle into the comfort of your resort room for a 30 minute treatment and choose between a relaxing massage or a refreshing facial. Because sometimes you need to arrive, put your robe on and immediately forget about your inbox.

Then it’s time for the main event…

Two hours of gourmet grazing with bottomless mimosas in Nelson Bay, surrounded by stunning marina and bay views.

Good food. Gorgeous views. Bottomless mimosas.

We really don’t think we need to say much more.

When you’re not grazing or getting pampered, wander Nelson Bay for a little boutique shopping, discover the local cafés and bars or simply make the most of your resort facilities.

Feeling adventurous? Head up to Tomaree Summit Lookout for breathtaking views across Port Stephens and yes, the photo opportunity is absolutely worth the climb.

And if you’re not quite ready for the fun to end, add on a banquet dinner at a fabulous seaside restaurant for the perfect night out with the girls.

It’s relaxing. It’s social. It’s a little bit indulgent.

And it’s the kind of weekend where someone inevitably says:

"Mimosas are basically fruit juice, right?"

Perfect for:

BFF weekends that need a little pampering
Birthdays and celebrations
Mums who deserve some serious girl time
The friendship group who loves a resort, a massage and a cocktail
Anyone who believes bottomless mimosas are an essential part of a balanced lifestyle

Grazing & Lazing - Hunter Valley

For the girls who love:

Wine without the designated driver
Lazy mornings and late checkouts
Grazing platters on the balcony
High Tea with a view
Having absolutely nowhere to be

Grazing & Lazing is our newest Hunter Valley escape, it’s all about slowing down, settling in and enjoying some seriously good girl time.

Think two nights in a beautiful 2 or 3 bedroom villa, surrounded by nature and the gorgeous Hunter Valley landscape. Your resort has everything you need for a weekend of relaxation, including pools, a jacuzzi, two restaurants, a bar and even a bottle shop.

So, technically, you could arrive on Friday and never leave.

And honestly? We’re very okay with that.

Start your getaway with a delicious grazing platter filled with fresh local produce and cheeses, perfect for enjoying from your villa balcony while taking in the valley views. Wake up slowly the next morning and make your way to a full hot buffet breakfast, because breakfast tastes even better when someone else is cooking.

Then comes Sunday’s pièce de résistance…

High Tea overlooking the lake and beautiful resort surrounds.

Because nothing says girls’ weekend quite like tea, treats, plenty of chatting and absolutely no rush.

And with a 2PM late checkout, you can enjoy those last few precious hours with the girls before reality calls.

Want to take the relaxation up a notch? Add a Day Spa experience, complete with a massage or facial, mineral pools and recovery lounge. Or keep the pampering in the villa with an in accommodation massage or facial.

And for the ultimate Hunter Valley experience, gather four or more girls and add an in villa wine tasting.

"Do we actually have to leave?"

Mums who need a proper switch off
Birthdays and celebrations
Wine loving friendship groups
The girls who think a late checkout should be standard everywhere
Anyone whose ideal Hunter Valley itinerary is graze, sip, relax, repeat

Sunshine and sea breezes
A little pampering with their prosecco
Grazing platters delivered straight to the door
Poolside catchups and alfresco afternoons
Saying “Ooh la la” because you’re in Mooloolaba

Pamper in Paradise is your excuse to escape to the Sunshine Coast and indulge in some seriously good girl time by the sea.

Think two nights in your own three bedroom house, just one block from the main street and ocean. There’s space to spread out, an alfresco area made for long chats and, most importantly, nowhere you need to be in a hurry.

Arrive, unpack and let the holiday mode begin.

Your delicious grazing platter will be delivered straight to your door, so you can settle in, pour yourself something lovely and start catching up with the girls without even leaving the house.

Then it’s time to pamper in paradise.

Enjoy a 30 minute facial or massage in the comfort of your accommodation, with your trained beauty therapist bringing the relaxation straight to you.

Because sometimes the best spa is the one that comes to your holiday house.

And when you’re ready to venture out, Mooloolaba is right there waiting.

Upgrade your pamper to a full hour, set sail on a seafood lunch cruise, watch the sun go down on a sunset cruise or gather the girls for a cocktail class where you’ll learn to shake, stir and strain three timeless classics.

Basically, you can make this getaway as relaxed or as “let’s have another cocktail” as you like.

A getaway that feels effortlessly chic

Blairgowrie Bliss is bringing serious coastal-luxe energy to the Mornington Peninsula.

Think two nights in a gorgeous boutique beach house with ocean views, complete with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, custom furniture, an equipped kitchen, indoor and outdoor bathtubs, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces and even a fire pit.

Basically, this is the kind of house that makes you want to cancel everything else.

Arrive to a complimentary Negroni jug and a beautiful welcome hamper filled with local goodies, fresh artisan bread or crumpets, homemade muesli, seasonal fruit, sparkling water, Tyrrells Crisps, Hunted+Gathered chocolate and homemade jam.

And because we believe every great arrival deserves a little grazing, your delicious grazing platter will be waiting too, packed with seasonal fruits, cheeses, dips, crackers, cured meats and more.

But the real bliss begins at Alba Thermal Springs.

Spend the day soaking, floating and completely switching off with all day access to 22 geothermal pools, plus the sauna and steam room. Your experience also includes a locker, towel and bathrobe hire, so all you need to bring is yourself — and perhaps the girls.
