Itinerary
Fly from UK to
Sydney
Welcome to the beautiful city of Sydney, where the sun seems to shine eternally and the blue waters of the iconic harbour glitter along the waterfront. Take a walk along the cobbled laneways of The Rocks and explore the cool markets and cosy pubs. Peek inside the famed Sydney Opera House with its towering white sails and soak up the sweeping harbour views over a sumptuous tasting platter. Later, soak up the sights of Sydney by night on your harbour dinner cruise.
5* QT Sydney
Includes a Sydney Opera House tour & tasting plate; a Captain's Club Dinner Cruise
Hunter Valley
Gorge to your heart’s content in the gorgeous Hunter Valley. Not only are the rolling sun-drenched vineyards easy on the eye, but they offer plenty to tempt the food connoisseur. Wine is of course the main highlight here but there’s also craft beer, olives, cheeses, chocolates and top notch cuisine to whet your appetite. It’s here you’ll experience a real trip highlight - indulge in a premium wine tasting followed by a private helicopter flight to a local restaurant for a delicious gourmet lunch with matched wine.
5* Spicers Vineyard Estate
Includes a Hunter Valley Wine, Dine & Fly tour
Maryvale
Continue to Maryvale where your mountaintop Spicers Peak lodge is the perfect place to get away from it all. Take a guided eco walk to look for birds or to admire the views, search for local wildlife by 4WD, rent a mountain bike or just take it easy by the pool. For some true indulgence, pamper yourself in the spa or treat yourself to a massage. This place is all about the food, so be sure to taste the locally grown produce and feast on the delicious degustation menu.
5* Spicers Peak Lodge
Includes an all-inclusive accommodation package, including selected premium beverages
Hinterland
Drive on to the cool air and wild forests of the Hinterland. This elevated area is cooler than the rest of the sizzling Sunshine Coast and offers pretty villages and historic buildings among the dense rainforests and plunging waterfalls. Check out the local arts and crafts as you browse the galleries, boutiques and craft markets. Explore the area by mountain bike or take a hike through the rainforest, or perhaps treat yourself to a picnic. For something a bit different, take a Thai cooking class at your Spicers hotel or sit back and relax in the rainforest spa.
5* Spicers Tamarind Resort & SPA
Noosa
A bit swanky in style, Noosa has lovely beaches to chill out on, right by the rainforest. For something more active head to Noosa national park for coastal walks – just follow the boardwalk from town. If you’re lucky you might even spot a dolphin or two. While you’re here you’ll cross over to World Heritage Listed Fraser Island, covered in giant sand dunes and freshwater streams, with lakes of vivid blue and green as well as prolific birdlife. Keep your eyes peeled for dingoes whales, sharks and dugongs.
