MOLLYMOOK
The South Coast: home to
cliff-top views, sounds of
the surf and caves (of wine)
There’s more to South Coast gem Mollymook
than simply being home to celebrity chef Rick
Stein’s incredible restaurant. With stunning
beaches, an abundance of outdoorsy activities
on offer and plenty of scenic views for your
Instagramming pleasure, this beachside beauty
and its surrounding towns are perfect for
’mooners wanting quiet time with an added
dose of adventure. Basically, everything you
need to get into mini-moon mood, stat.
Where to stay With its cliff-top location,
Bannisters gives you seriously special
views. You’ll find yourself falling asleep
to the sounds of the sea, while your hubby
will be so relaxed he’ll forget all about the
round of golf he’d planned for the next day.
What’s on offer The boutique hotel is
all luxury, but the highlight is its famous
restaurant, Rick Stein at Bannisters (you’ll
get to-die-for seafood). Book in for a
massage at the day spa, too – bliss.
Don’t miss The great outdoors! A visit to
Cupitt’s Winery in nearby Ulladulla is a
must. Check out the underground wine
cave, where wine-making is done in the
traditional way (and get tasting!).

BYRON BAY
Escape the humdrum and
let this chic seaside wonder
cast its spell over you
If you’re a full-time city-dweller, escaping to
Byron provides just the right amount of chill.
You’re barefoot and relaxed, but there’s still
a little something going on, be it a spot of
shopping or a late-night music gig. It’s what
makes this East Coast town pretty spesh.
Where to stay Nestled in the subtropical
rainforest, The Byron at Byron Resort and
Spa is so beautiful (seriously: it’s green as
far as the eye can see – magnificent!).
What’s on offer Take advantage of the
complimentary morning yoga, plus the
daily Happy Hour (4.30-6pm) – order an
Aperol Spritzer and think of us.
Don’t miss If you’re around for the first
Sunday of the month, hire bikes from The
Byron and ride into town for the Byron
Bay Community Market. You’ll also find
cute shops selling quirky gifts, homewares,
clothes and special mini-moon mementos.

PIER ONE, SYDNEY
Toast the iconic city views from your luxury hideaway
A stay at the newly renovated Pier One, overlooking the Harbour, is a standout.
Where to stay Pier One offers spectacular views of the Harbour Bridge and Luna Park. If
you’re lucky enough to have a balcony room, why not order room service and eat al fresco?
What’s on offer The greatest shower ever (seriously!), huge rooms and impeccable service.
Don’t miss Soak in the so-indulgent-it-should-be-illegal bath with the Appelles Vitamin
B3 Bath Caviar on offer. Pop a bottle of bubbly, then watch the sun set from the tub.
