Can you imagine a few days of countryside beauty, gourmet food and wine, and reconnecting with like minded travellers who feel the need for a celebration and a change of scenery?

If so look no further as you will love this girls’ getaway taking time out to celebrate life and all that is good.  This fully-inclusive escape will delight the senses, invite you to unwind in the company of a great group of women who love travel, good food, wine and great company.

Spicers is synonymous with all things  luxury, and this Hidden Vale escape will attend to your every need (that’s if you ever leave your divine room).  You will experience Spicers’  world-renowned koala sanctuary (much of our fee to visit supports this fabulous initiative), hike around the property, indulge in some cocktail making, a little scavenger hunt and if we are very good, Santa may make an appearance and shower us with gifts during a fabulous dinner!  Hey Christmas in July is off the cards at the moment, but there is no reason not to start a new trend in September!!!

Come away on our first girls’ getaway for 2020 and indulge in some ‘non-iso’ you-time.  I cannot wait to see you there and look forward to hosting your for a few days of total fun and indulgence.

DAY 2 – SATURDAY 05: KOALAS & COCKTAILS…

This morning after your delicious breakfast it is time for a Koala Safari, exploring the extraordinary Koala sanctuary close by.  These beautiful creatures are under threat and the Hidden Vale Wildlife Centre, led by Dr Andrew Tribe is currently conducting a research programme, where you will have the opportunity to contribute.  You will tour the centre, before moving to the first koala hotspot and from here you will assist the researchers in locating and checking the welfare of the community.  You may even see some new babies if lucky, and will learn about their habitat and how this project is aiming to reintroduce koalas to specific areas across the region.  This worthwhile morning will give you a real insight to what is going on and also will contribute back to the research and helping the Koalas to thrive.

It is then back to the property for a light lunch and a glass of something delicious, on the verandah.

Time for some relaxation – by the pool, exploring your surrounds or just reading a book – it is all up to you how you would like to unwind this afternoon.

Later in the day we meet up for our cocktail masterclass, where you will have the chance to experiment with rare small batch flavours, mixed with native hand sourced ingredients and spirits from Australian micro distilleries can make the best cocktails. Yum.

This evening a lovely 2 course dinner at the award winning Homage Restaurant, including pre dinner drinks and wine with your meal.  A delightful way to end the day.
