Treetop Getaway

A long soak in the bath, putting your feet up while reading a good book, sharing good company and good food, it's hard to beat a good weekend away even more so when you're surrounded by nature.

This location, only an hour and half out of Sydney, is the perfect escape from busy city life. With picturesque beaches and coastal walks through beautiful national parks, what better way to spend a weekend. Our weekend started with the Bouddi coastal walk and sunset by Maitland Bay beach, before heading to our accommodation for dinner and drinks.

With a bit of rain about, we made the very most of the facilities of this beautiful home nestled amongst the trees. It included a fully stocked kitchen that we prepared all of our meals together and a spa bath to relax in.

By our final morning, the rain had passed, and as we enjoyed a morning coffee on the balcony, we had a few visits from some friendly locals, some cockatoos and lorikeets.

Before making our way back to Sydney, we found a local gem of a cafe for brunch, Lords of Pour, a definite recommendation in the area.

A perfect escape amongst the treetops.
