Where to go for school holidays? Of course it’s Nelson Bay. 200 kilometres from Sydney, two and a half hours by car, very suitable for short parent-child trips! Woke up in the morning, we had breakfast and can depart from Sydney. Generally, hotels check in at 2 pm. So when you arrive at Nelson Bay […]

Snow at Lake Mountain
Australia entered the snow season. Before it gets too cold, bring your baby to see the snow. We searched for Mt Buller, which takes at least three hours to drive to, and since it’s mainly focused on skiing, and our kid is only three years old and not at the right age, we did some […]
Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery
This was our first stop on the Great Ocean Road trip. Since we were staying near Apollo Bay, it took three hours to drive there. Following the principle of a relaxed family trip. And because kids don’t like long car rides, we stumbled upon the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery. With both chocolate […]
Melbourne Glamping Metung Hotspring
A friend highly recommended Metung Hot Springs, so we drove 3.5 hours from Melbourne’s eastern suburbs to get there! This place has a few unique features, aside from the hilltop standalone barrel hot springs, their sauna rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, so you can enjoy the lake view while sweating it out. Compared to most dark, claustrophobic […]

Sydney Bubble Planet Experience
During the long weekend, we took the kids to the popular Bubble Planet Exhibition. It’s an immersive, multi-sensory exhibition featuring not just bubbles, but also lights, ball pits, balloons, and the little ones’ favourite yellow ducks. It truly lives up to its name as a bubble-filled planet. Each room is designed with a different theme, […]
Newly Opened Japanese-Style Matcha Cafe in Melbourne – Matcha Kobo
There’s an actual matcha shop in Melbourne’s CBD, a milling stone, and an authentic Japanese-style setup with mats! They’ve soft launched, so they’re not very well-known yet, but on weekends, they’re already incredibly busy because word of mouth recommendations have spread. That’s why we recommend going on a workday. On Wednesday, we only waited 10 […]
Sydney Ferris Wheel High Tea Experience at Loftus Lane Café
We finally checked off a long-time wish-list spot during the holidays, the Loftus Lane Cafe Cocktail Bar, near the Opera House. The café is small but cozy, with floral decor everywhere. Macaron-pink walls, green plants, and flower petals on the tables! Everything was perfectly prepped for our reserved time, food, flowers, and a special Easter-themed […]

As a quiet but devoted Potterhead, we were really excited and quickly booked two tickets from the official website. The tickets are available in several types: Standard, Flex, and VIP. There isn’t a huge difference between them. Since we […]
