The Harry Potter Tour at Warner Bros Studio
The Harry Potter Tour at Warner Bros Studio is a must for any Harry Potter fan visiting the UK. In fact you don’t even have to be a die hard Potter fan to enjoy the tour. When we (myself and my two teenaged kids) visited London last winter, right on top of the bucket list was to do the Harry Potter Studio Tour. My kids grew up with the Harry Potter books and they eagerly awaited when each movie was to be released. I was pretty much the same! Ever since Hagrid uttered those words “you’re a wizard Harry” in the first movie we all became obsessed Potter fans. Here…

Taking a road trip to the 12 Apostles
The 12 Apostles is one of Australia’s most well known and popular tourist attractions – aside from the harbour bridge and Uluru. The coastline stretches some 30 km and is incredibly stunning, rugged and dramatic. I happen to live about 2 hours away from Port Campbell and I thought it was high time that I take a road trip to the 12 Apostles and witness one of Australia’s natural wonders. It’s strange how I haven’t been down this way since I was around 14 on a school excursion and even though it’s an easy drive down I have never put it on priority. Kind of like how you take something…

The best little cafes in Hobart
Looking for the best little cafes in Hobart? Then look no further as I have found three of the best. It’s always that old familiar scene when visiting a city for the first time – wondering around aimlessly – looking to find a great breakfast, a decent coffee and good lunch place.

So wonder no more as here are my top picks – Daci & Daci, Next Door and Jackman & McRoss, put them on your list if you are in…

The quirky Gala Estate Winery
Whilst driving through the countryside on the east coast of Tasmania, you could be forgiven for thinking you are driving through the English country side, with the familiar rolling green hills, rivers and the vineyards. In particular, the drive from Hobart to the Freycinet National Park is something I could term as quite the ‘joy ride’, as the scenery along the way is just picture perfect. Then as you start nearing the national park, the mountains appear as a stunning backdrop to the many wineries throughout this route. The east coast is home to a boutique wine region, producing cool climate wines. What I found interesting is that many of…

The famous Sunday Brunch at Mulia
The ‘famous’ Sunday Brunch at Mulia Bali is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece and something that should not be missed if you are visiting Bali. Whilst brunch is not a traditional Bali fare, you will find that Mulia has taken the brunch concept with both hands, made it their own and in the process has created something unrivalled. Talented world renowned chefs preside over the Soleil kitchen delighting foodies with their magnificent buffet, a classy a la carte menu, and a selection of dishes from the chef’s choice. The brunch can be enjoyed over four hours, with or without alcohol. The experience I first heard about the Sunday brunch…

Bombay Sapphire Project Botanicals
Bombay Sapphire Project Botanicals is quite the unique experience that pops up in Melbourne for just three weeks and was a sell out in 2014 & 2015. The concept has Bombay Sapphire drawing on their ten signature botanicals as inspiration for pairing gin cocktails with ten exotic dishes. The food is the brainchild of renowned chef Gary Mehigan who has worked with the Project Botanicals team on creating each unique dish. My Project Botanicals experience (2014) I first found out about Project Botanicals through a blogger friend of mine and after reading her review I had decided that (with me being quite the gin connoisseur) I should go and check…

Baan Rim Pa restaurant: Royal Thai cuisine
The Baan Rim Pa restaurant is one of those little hidden gems that can be found (if you are in the know) in Patong, Phuket. Baan Rim Pa is luxury dining – something that is hard to come by in Patong – and specialises in Royal Thai Cuisine. What is Royal Thai cuisine I hear you ask? Well it is food that was only ever created and served in the Grand Palace of Thailand for the royal family. I was recommended this restaurant by a couple of older ladies who were on my island tour the previous day. They had dined there the night before and had assured me that…

SkyPoint Seventy7 Cafe and Bar
A must visit on the Gold Coast is the Skypoint Observation Deck located at the Q1 Tower right in the middle of the tourist area of Surfers Paradise. Not only is it an observation deck but it doubles as a venue, where the aptly named SkyPoint Seventy7 cafe and bar can be found on the 77th floor. A great spot to enjoy some late afternoon cocktails before heading out for the evening. To get there make your way down Surfers Paradise Boulevard to the SkyPoint Observation entrance and once your entrance fee is paid you will be directed to the elevator. The elevator takes you up to the 77th floor…
