Press pause on your regular routine and plan a mid-week escape to one of Spicers Retreats’ luxury stays
If you ask us, a five-day work week is far too long. It’s nearly impossible to fit all of our eating, drinking and other leisurely activities in, on top of all of the life admin, in just two days. That is why every now and again a pre-planned sickie or a mid-week holiday is a must to give us the break we need from our regular routine. As we enter the second half of the year and the days start blending into months, it’s time we shook things up with a mid-week stay at Spicers Retreats – no alarm clocks needed.
If your daily routine is starting to feel like Groundhog day, why not plan a mid-week getaway to one of Spicers’ luxury retreats. Whether it’s an escape to the mountains at Spicers Peak Lodge, a countryside adventure at Spicers Hidden Vale or a roadtrip north to Spicers Tamarind rainforest retreat, Spicers Retreats offers a spectacular staycay to satisfy every type of holidayer. If you’re still not convinced that a mid-week break to reset and recharge is of high priority, then this next piece of information will certainly make up your mind. Spicers Retreats is offering a Midweekend special for those wanting to break free from their weekly grind. This winter, if you book a mid-week stay at Spicers Retreats you’ll receive $150 retreat credit, per booking, per night. Use the credit to dine at one of Spicers’ award-winning restaurants, enjoy a few afternoon tipples with a view, or unwind with a soothing massage or nourishing botanical facial, the possibilities are endless!
If an inner-city getaway is what you prefer, Spicers Balfour Hotel in New Farm may be the perfect place to perch for a night or two. Surrounded by lively lifestyle and dining destinations such as James Street and Howard Smith Wharves, there’s an abundance of beloved bars, eateries, cafes and activities in walking distance. But, if you want to stay in, the sunset-filled rooftop bar and renowned Vietnamese-inspired restaurant are more than enough to keep you satiated. For a more elevated escape, book a stay at Spicers Peak Lodge. Poised majestically atop a soaring mountain with the Great Dividing Range as your backdrop, this luxury lodge is surrounded by untouched rainforest and the awe-inspiring scenery of the Scenic Rim. Here, a bounty of activities await including culinary adventures, nature hikes, mountain biking, star gazing and spa days. Clear out to the countryside, just an hour from Brisbane at Spicers Hidden Vale. It’s here where you’ll find 12,000 acres of lush bushland and rolling hills, a hatted paddock-to-plate restaurant and a spectacular selection of activities from culinary adventures and scenic flights to cuddly koalas and four-wheel-drive tours. If an overseas holiday to the French countryside is a little out of your budget, experience a taste of France a little closer to home at Spicers Clovelly Estate. This retreat offers everything from the revitalising Spa Anise and terrace swimming pool, to rainforest walking trails and gentle games of lawn bowls. Head north to Spicers Tamarind Retreat, which is nestled in the leafy mountain surrounds of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Take the time to savour the unique flavours at Tamarind restaurant, get creative at the Tamarind cooking school or explore the local bookstores, cafes and craft breweries in Maleny.
