Some stays are easy to replace. These aren’t. With breakfast, credits and upgrades built in – and the offers ending soon – this is the moment to stop browsing and start booking.
If one of these escapes has been sitting in your saved list, consider this your cue.
1. The Hydro Majestic Hotel, Blue Mountains
Few stays in New South Wales feel as atmospheric as The Hydro Majestic Hotel. Perched above the Megalong Valley, it’s all escarpment views, Art Deco touches and that crisp mountain air that makes you sleep well. High tea in the Wintergarden is almost compulsory, and sunset drinks overlooking the valley are hard to beat. It feels special without feeling staged.
Ends soon – includes: Daily sparkling wine breakfast, $50 dining credit and more.
2. The Star Residences, Gold Coast
Broadbeach by day, cocktails by night. The Star Residences puts you within walking distance of the sand and directly above one of the Gold Coast’s best dining and entertainment precincts. The rooms are contemporary and comfortable, and the pool area hits the right balance between lively and laid-back. It’s a Gold Coast stay that doesn’t require much planning.
Ends soon – includes: Daily 50% discount for breakfast and more.
3. InterContinental Bali Resort, Jimbaran Bay
This is Bali in its classic form – wide beachfront, tropical gardens and space to breathe. InterContinental Bali Resort sits right on Jimbaran Bay, with six pools scattered through the grounds and sunset views that make evening walks along the sand part of the routine. The rooms are generous and the vibe is easygoing. It’s the kind of place you properly unwind.
Ends soon – includes: Daily breakfast, daily lunch or nightly dinner, cocktails and more.
4. Bannisters Port Stephens
Bannisters Port Stephens has a way of slowing you down. It overlooks Soldiers Point Marina and is known for its rooftop infinity pool and Rick Stein restaurant serving fresh local seafood. Mornings feel quiet here, afternoons drift by easily and dinner usually stretches longer than planned. It’s coastal NSW done right.
Ends soon – includes: Daily breakfast and entry to a Rick Stein at Bannisters cooking demonstration.
5. AYANA Segara, Jimbaran
Part of the wider AYANA estate, AYANA Segara Bali offers a more contemporary take on Jimbaran’s clifftop scene. You get access to multiple pools, the private Kubu Beach and the famous Rock Bar for sunset. It’s big, but it works – there’s always somewhere new to spend the afternoon. Ideal if you like options without leaving the resort.
Ends soon – includes: Daily buffet breakfast, daily lunch or dinner, cocktails and more.
6. Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo
Tokyo can feel full-on in the best way. Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo places you right in the middle of it – neon streets, late-night ramen and boutique shopping all within walking distance. Inside, it’s bold and design-led, with social spaces that feel genuinely lively. It’s a sharp base for a city that doesn’t slow down.
Ends soon – includes: Daily breakfast, nightly cocktail, one four-course dinner and more.
7. The Darling, Sydney
If you’re doing a Sydney weekend, The Darling keeps it easy. Harbour views, a proper spa and direct access to The Star’s dining and entertainment make it feel like everything’s within reach. Rooms are spacious, polished and comfortable enough to linger in. It’s the sort of city stay that feels like a treat.
Ends soon – includes: Daily breakfast, daily dining credit, self-parking and more.
8. Anantara Ubud Bali Resort
Set above the rainforest in Ubud’s Payangan region, Anantara Ubud Bali Resort feels tucked away without being remote. Infinity pools look out over treetops and mornings here are slow in the best way. Ubud’s markets and temples are close enough for exploring, but it’s tempting to stay put. It’s quieter Bali – and that’s the appeal.
Ends soon – includes: Daily breakfast, daily lunch or dinner, cocktails, massages and more.
