Healesville House

July 20, 2017

Yara Valley boutique accommodation in the heart of healesville. … More Healesville House

Sadly no longer in business. The most treasured feature of our house would have to be the view. In fact, I would go as far as saying that it is the reason we bought it. Each morning it is a pleasure to draw the blinds and watch the fog lift while the horses graze. If … More Amadeus Park Riding School

Winter Holidays with Culture Tracks

June 28, 2017

Winter has hit us hard and if you are a parent like me you will be torn: do I stay home where it is dry, safe and warm, or find an alternative to screen time and venture out where it is dirty and slip hazards are a real threat? I am here to tell you … More Winter Holidays with Culture Tracks

Global Ballooning Australia

June 23, 2017

Don’t ask me to describe the moment the basket left the ground on my inaugural hot air balloon flight. There was no fanfare, no G-forces and definitely no announcement to proclaim the event. In fact, in the time it took me to finish a five-word text message and press send we had lifted off the … More Global Ballooning Australia

Altair Restaurant

June 8, 2017

There are three elements to a great restaurant experience: the people, the food and the ambience. I believe that an establishment is truly winning if they tick these three boxes in this order. Who wants ambience with terrible food and little to no interaction with staff? Or amazing food sitting in a repellant space with … More Altair Restaurant

Herd Bar and Grill

May 19, 2017

You know that feeling when you walk past a place and think …’I really need to visit’ but never do? I first noticed Herd Bar and Grill a couple of years ago. My walk from the car park to the main strip took me past the distinctive panelled frontage and I found myself instinctively looking … More Herd Bar and Grill

Sisko Chocolate – Eastland

May 10, 2017

Sisko is a name synonymous with elegance, luxury, quality and CHOCOLATE. The Melbourne-based chocolatier moved into The Arcade (Eastland) a year ago. We greeted the quietly charming Christina and Paul with gasps of excitement and micro-jumps of joy – now the chocoholics of the east have top-shelf chocolate to satisfy their overwhelming cravings. And what … More Sisko Chocolate – Eastland

Culture Tracks

April 20, 2017

Culture: noun 1. the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. It was while having a discussion with my cousin (many moons ago) that I realised Australia is the land of fun and games. Culture is not a word often used by Australians to describe entertainment opportunities like live shows, music or … More Culture Tracks

Reformation Pilates

April 6, 2017

The Challenge When I saw the promotion for the Reformation Pilates 30 day challenge, I just had to be a part of it. Six days a week for 30 days was not too much to ask – or was it? I don’t know if you know this about me, but Pilates has been a modality … More Reformation Pilates

Tramonto Kitchen and Bar

March 29, 2017

When Bella Vedere closed their doors there was an almost audible gasp from the Yarra Valley locals. The most upsetting part was that the two story building rising from the vineyards of Badger’s Brook would stand empty. A venue with so much potential, so much promise and character would remain locked up and unused. Enter … More Tramonto Kitchen and Bar
