Explore Mother’s Day Experiences & Presents
Wine & Dine and High Tea
– For the foodie Mum, consider a Three Course Italian Meal with Wine for 2 at Sydney’s Darling Harbour. This experience allows her to savour authentic Italian courses like Penne Alla Bolognese or Gnocchi Al Pesto while soaking in stunning waterfront views.
– If she prefers a hands-on approach, the Make Your Own Wine Experience at McCaffrey’s Estate in the Hunter Valley is a standout choice. She’ll become a winemaker for a day, blending varietals in Pokolbin to create her own personalised bottle she can take home.
– For a more traditional Mother’s Day present, the High Tea at the Palace Tea Room in Sydney’s historic QVB offers an elegant spread of petit fours and finger sandwiches in a Parisian-style setting.
– Alternatively, treat her to High Tea with Sparkling in a Heritage Location in Brisbane, where she can enjoy raspberry scones and bubbles in the French-inspired surrounds of the Brisbane Arcade.
Spa & Wellness & Day Spa Packages
– Give the gift of ultimate relaxation with a Private Infrared Sauna and Ice Bath Wellness Package in Rozelle. This 90 minute session is perfect for two, featuring a cedar wood ice bath and luxury shower products to help her rejuvenate.
– In Victoria, the Peninsula Hot Springs Guided Contrast Therapy provides a science backed wellness experience, alternating between hot saunas and cold plunge pools to improve circulation and mental clarity.
– For a serene escape, the Restorative Bathhouse Experience with Drink offers access to magnesium rich thermal pools and aromatic steam rooms. If she’s near Roseville, the Complete Bathhouse Access with Wellness Drink allows her to unwind in a beautifully restored 1929 bathhouse, finishing her ritual with a botanical mocktail at the Placebo Bar.
Dining Cruises & Scenic Cruises
– Take her out on the water with an Express Dolphin Watching Cruise in Port Stephens, where she can enjoy 360 degree views of resident dolphins from the Envision. For a slower pace, the Murray River Paddlesteamer Cruise with Lunch combines a historic river journey with a gourmet two course meal and wine tastings at Morrisons Winery.
– In the city, the Sydney Harbour Cocktail Cruise offers a charcuterie board and live acoustic music as the sun sets over the Opera House. Meanwhile, the Bottomless Brunch Cruise in Melbourne along the Yarra River is a fantastic way to celebrate, featuring free flowing mimosas and a decadent menu of savoury and sweet treats.
