When it comes to looking for travel inspiration, our staff have some remarkable experiences and unforgettable memories to share. Let us take you on a thrilling journey through our staff’s favourite destinations in Australia. 

Terry – Red Centre, NT

For me I’d rate Uluru and the Red centre as an absolute must, as it encompasses quintessential outback Australia. The iconic red soil and grand rock formations will have you feeling like you’re in another world. While in the area, there is a rich plethora of indigenous culture to explore, awe-inspiring light shows, and has one of the best views of the stars known to man.

Carly – Great Barrier Reef, QLD

The Great Barrier Reef – the snorkelling, the scenery, the beaches, but also rainforests and waterfalls. Beyond the shimmering turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef lies a world of lush rainforests. Adventuring through the Daintree Rainforest was one of the highlights during our time in Far North Queensland.

Allanha – Uluru, NT

In the heart of Australia's Red Centre lies one of my favourite places: Uluru. Its ancient history, mystical energy, and majestic presence had me in awe. Uluru's spiritual significance and breathtaking beauty creates a profound connection to the land and its custodians. From waking up to an array of coloured skies during its magical sunrise, to walking the base of Uluru and enjoying dinner under the stars, Uluru has hands down created some of my favourite travel memories

Jack – Magnetic Island, QLD

Among the many stunning destinations along the Great Barrier Reef, there is one place that was certainly a memorable experience: Magnetic Island. With its pristine beaches, untouched rainforests, and an abundance of wildlife, this tropical paradise has captivated me like no other destination. Magnetic Island’s haven of snorkelling, scenic beauty & tranquil serenity intertwine seamlessly.

Hannah – Northern Beaches, NSW

About a 45–50-minute drive out of Sydney’s CBD lies one of my favourite places in Australia – Sydney’s Northern Beaches. From surfing swells to quiet coves, running/walking tracks and tranquil lookout spots, this stunning stretch of coastline curves 30km from Manly to Palm Beach and boasts more than 20 beaches, each having its own distinct vibe. 

Mia – Sunshine Coast, QLD

One of my favourite places within Australia would have to be the Sunny Coast! From being barefoot on the beach one minute, to hiking ancient peaks, sampling farm-fresh local produce and discovering luscious rainforests along the way, experiencing the Sunshine Coast’s lifestyle on our getaway has been a core favourite of mine. 

Julia – Melbourne, VIC

Whether it’s been a quick weekender or a weeklong trip, Melbourne sits at the top of my list when it comes to my favourite destinations. Between the local attractions, shopping districts, cute cafes and ambient laneways, Melbourne boasts a plethora of art & culture. 

Andrew – Adelaide, SA

My home state will always be a firm favourite of mine - The city of Radelaide! With over 200 wineries & cellar doors within an hour of Adelaide’s CBD you just can’t go wrong. Not to mention Kangaroo Island is quite literally a hop, skip & a jump away. Adelaide is like a big country town, and it’s why I love it. From the nightlife vibes, the array of culinary specialities and the ever-going events, Adelaide will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Margot – Fleurieu Peninsula, SA

Just 40 minutes south of Adelaide lies the Fleurieu Peninsula – which is hands down my favourite place ever! The Fleurieu offers some of the finest coastal scenery, encompassing shimmering crystal-clear waters and sweeping landscapes. Not only is the scenery to die for, but the culinary experiences and local wineries are incredible. It’s home to sustainable wine production and world-renowned labels including D’Arenberg Cube, Maxwell Wines, Star of Greece & more. 

Cos – Noosa, QLD

Surrounded by nature, a tapestry of waterways, untouched national parks, wide open beaches and clear salty air, a visit to Noosa is truly an escape to paradise. From spending balmy nights wandering Hastings St, indulging in the restaurant scene, and retreating to a waterfront resort, Noosa will always be my favourite place to holiday in Australia. 

Kavi – Moonta Bay, SA

Located on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, Moonta Bay is the best place I have visited in Australia! This picturesque coastal paradise has everything you could want & more on an Aussie getaway. From the turquoise waters, white sands and array of great restaurants & cafes, Moonta Bay is one of the best places to view the sunrise, sunset and everything in between. 

Dani – Tasmania 

I just loved Tasmania in general as a destination to hop in a car and drive around exploring. My favourite spot would be Cradle Mountain for its gorgeous scenery and hikes topped with a mulled wine back at the lodge – felt almost like being in Canada! Other things I love include the food scene – Bruny Island is great for tastings and both Hobart & Launceston were full of amazing places to dine. Another amazing experience was the Floating Sauna in Lake Derby. Spend time warming up in the sauna before diving into the fresh lake and repeat! Absolutely stunning. 

Dule – Margaret River, WA

From the outdoor adventures, epic wines, and serene beaches there’s no surprise that the Margaret River is my favourite destination in Australia! Western Australia’s beloved Margaret River has a relaxed, nature-loving & artistic vibe. Its main street is dotted with diverse galleries, characterful cafes, produce providores, surf shops, a pub with a 600-bottle wine list and an excellent local ice-creamery. I can’t wait for my next trip back to this beautiful region!
