Your next Winter Weekend Getaway

Winter can be a dreary time of the year. You might be tempted to just not leave the house, or if you do, opt for a guaranteed warm hotel room… but that’s no fun! Make the most of our stunning regional outdoors and hidden luxuries that will promise a holiday like no other – without the cost of an exxy hotel room. We’ve rounded up a few of our all-time favourites that you should consider if you’re looking to get away.

Little Black Camper
This one is all about luxury glamping… in a caravan! Little Black Camper is a labour of love from one of our favourite local ladies and it is a stunning option if you’re considering a mini escape. Equipped with a coffee machine, luxury linen, wifi, netflix, games and a king bed, it’s all you need! All you have to do is choose a location (Torquay, Jan Juc, Lorne, Ocean Grove, Anglesea – just to name a few) and the camper will be at your campsite when you arrive. You bloody beauty.

Hire A Kombi
Travel back in time with a vintage inspired roadtrip, brought to you by ‘Hire a Kombi’! Adventure down the Great Ocean Road in a stylish, 1970’s Volkswagen Kombi camper and watch the beautiful coastal scenery from your tailgate and soak up your surroundings as the sun goes down on one of Australia’s most loved and iconic roads in the midst of winter. You can travel with a group anywhere you like… plus you’re also kept nice and cosy on the inside so that’s definitely a win.

Airbnb it
Okay we know, some of us just aren’t made for the camping life. If this is you, Airbnb’s are a great way to still have a chilled, down to earth weekend experience. Providing a free for all platform for all houses, condos, apartments, castles, houseboats, tree houses, barns, mansions, caves (caves!) – in any given city, all around the big wide world, Airbnb is the way to go. So many options, so much variety, you may just have your best holiday experience ever… plus it’s usually a lot cheaper than a hotel anyway.
