Big Blue Backyard, Australia

Located at the end of aptly named Paradise Drive, these unique hideaways are tucked away to ensure privacy. Accessed via pine boardwalks weaving through the native bush, each hideaway is spacious and light-filled with its own outdoor spa bath. Relax on your private deck as you indulge in your intimate dinner prepared by the Chef before curling up under your sun-dried sheets (Big Blue Backyard is committed to sustainability) and listening to some '70s surf cool. With just three individually styled hideaways to choose from (Bush, Beach & African), you can be assured of a fun yet romantic piece of paradise from which to explore.

With a wide array of activities in the area - from swimming with dolphins to horseriding to paddleboarding lessons - the generous and delicious breakfast delivered to your deck each morning starts your day in indulgent style. A must for a lunch stop is Montalto Vineyard, where you can choose from a la carte dining, café style casual dining or a private picnic in the estate’s picturesque grounds. You may prefer to simply chill out on your deck with a glass of locally produced wine and relish the seclusion of your beach escape with its quirky features - tyres for bedside tables, crates for bathroom cabinets, Jackson Pollock paint-splattered floor to name a few!
