easy, breezy adelaide is a city sitting pretty. hills alive with australia's finest vines in one direction. beaches sandy, sensational and sun drenched the other.

in between, the cbd is parked between generous gardens. and the hip, happening shops of rundle street are literally just a stroll away. gourmet street eateries. fashionable boutiques.

and the dreamy downstairs treatment rooms of endota spa. sidle in at street level and slow it down to a saunter. then lope into the lounge and herbal tea-sip your way to stop.

tasmania has become the apple of many a traveling eye. home to wilderness, wild adventure and a wildly popular princess. sail in, stroll around the hobart harbour and inhale history.

the waterfront is a woody, wonderful wander through time. where modern eateries meet turn-of-the-century factories. and an 1860's flour mill has bloomed to become endota spa.

inside the woodstacked walls, everything is clean and white. there are four treatment rooms (2 single, 2 double) and reason to be extra tank-ful: a thermal-m steam capsule for one.

the tastebud-tempting barossa valley. just one hour north east of adelaide. but a heavenly, hilly world away from everyday worries.

here, your biggest decision is merlot or malbec? visit jacob’s creek the winery, or jacob’s creek the creek? inhale fresh air in a hot air balloon, or inhale fresh produce at the local farmers market? go from cellar door to door…or put a ‘do not disturb’ on your own?

experienced valley visitors know to head straight for the novotel. here the biking is to your liking (choose to hire a scooter or a push bike) it’s always tee time on the golf course’s glorious greens. and the valley’s vinest views stretch out beyond your very own verandah.
