Day 8 🇦🇺

🎈 Balloon Aloft Hunter Valley

We had an early start, but it was definitely worth it! We enjoyed a sunrise hot air balloon flight over Hunter Valley’s rolling vineyards, taking in the most breathtaking views, followed by a gourmet breakfast with sparkling w**e. What a way to start the day!

🏍️ Glenworth Valley Wilderness Adventures

Next, we explored spectacular bushland trails by quad bike before sitting down to enjoy a BBQ lunch. Glenworth Valley is a fantastic outdoor adventure destination, offering everything from horse riding, quad biking and kayaking to abseiling, all set across acres of beautiful unspoilt wilderness.

🏡 Grand Saddles Lodge

We also had the opportunity to visit Grand Saddles Lodge ahead of its opening in November for a site inspection. This upcoming luxury bushland retreat in Mount White will offer private villas, premium dining, wellness experiences and stunning natural surroundings, a beautiful option for those looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature.

🏖️ Adina Apartment Hotel Bondi Beach

We then made our way to our final stay of the trip, Bondi Beach! We checked into the 4* Adina Apartment Hotel, ideally located just moments from the beach, shops, cafés and famous coastal walks.

🍽️ Bondi Icebergs

We finished the day with dinner at Bondi Icebergs, a relaxed beachfront bistro offering fresh, seasonal dining, casual drinks and spectacular views overlooking the iconic Bondi Icebergs pool and beach.

Day 7 – Hunter Valley 🍇🍷

Today we left Sydney behind and headed to the beautiful Hunter Valley, one of Australia’s most famous w**e regions! 🇦🇺✨

🦪 Sydney Oyster Farm Tour

En route to Hunter Valley, we stopped for a unique oyster farm experience on the Hawkesbury River. We enjoyed a scenic cruise before donning waterproof waders and heading into the water to shuck and taste freshly harvested oysters at our very own in water table! 🦪🌊 Definitely a different kind of dining experience!

🍷 Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard

Next up was Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard, one of Hunter Valley’s most iconic w**eries, renowned for its award winning w**es and breathtaking views across the surrounding vineyards. We enjoyed a w**e masterclass and premium w**e tasting, followed by lunch overlooking the stunning scenery. 🍇🥂

🏨 Spicers Guesthouse

We then checked into the beautiful 5* Spicers Guesthouse and enjoyed a short tour of the property.

This boutique retreat is nestled in the heart of Hunter Valley, surrounded by vineyards and native bushland. With its stylish interiors and tranquil setting, it's the perfect place to relax and unwind. 🌿✨

🌿 Cedars Mount View

We also visited Cedars Mount View for a site inspection. This luxury retreat offers beautifully appointed, self contained romantic spa villas, with just four villas scattered across a unique 94 acre mountain valley. A secluded escape for couples looking for privacy, relaxation and a little luxury! ❤️

🦘 A Little Australian Magic!

We were even lucky enough to spot kangaroos along the way! Such a special moment and a lovely reminder that Australia’s wildlife is just as incredible as its scenery. 🥹🇦🇺

Another fantastic day discovering the experiences, accommodation and natural beauty that New South Wales has to offer! ✨❤️
