School holidays are coming up fast. And with a whole six weeks to fill, you'd be remiss to not spend some of that time on a well-earned getaway with the family. The only question is how you'll do it.
Do you want to splash out, or are you on a budget this year? Are you craving the coast, or do you feel like doing something different and heading inland? Whatever your family's flavour, Australia's certainly not short of idyllic holiday spots. So to make these school holidays one to remember, here's your guide to finding a getaway that suits the kids as much as it does mum and dad. It's hard to top an Aussie beach getaway.
The kids get to burn off excess energy swimming and running around the sand, while you can lie under an umbrella with a book in hand. You'll all eat fish & chips for dinner..
. then finish it off with a big old-fashioned scoop of ice cream (in a waffle cone, of course). And you don't have to go far to find the perfect coastal retreat.
Just 90 minutes' drive from Sydney is Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific – it's luxurious beachfront accommodation just seconds from the sand, so you can spend more time relaxing and less travelling. Big year? You all deserve a little pampering. And there's nowhere better to truly unwind than Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, Australia's day spa and natural hot springs capital.
Of course, if you want to recharge, you'll need to stay somewhere that understands the meaning of luxury – like the InterContinental Sorrento Mornington Penin.
