Classy Hens Party Ideas

So you’re organising a hens party but you don’t want to do the ‘typical’ thing… and you want to make sure all of the bride’s friends will be included… and you want to ensure everyone has a brilliant time even though they don’t all know each other… stress no more, we’ve got you covered girl!

A night out on the town featuring anatomy-inspired design not quite your style? Here we share some refined inspiration for an elegant hens party in Sydney, from an indulgent high tea to personal cooking class.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

What bride would not want to imitate the queen of sophistication and class, Audrey Hepburn? For the bride that has a soft spot for pearls and elbow-length gloves, a Breakfast at Tiffany's themed hen's party is the best event. Make certain to include an elegant breakfast spread consisting of fresh fruits and croissants. Integrate plenty of Tiffany blue and long strings of pearls in the decoration. You might likewise like to ask the visitors to dress up, giving them the opportunity to dust off their tiaras and preferred little black dress.

Ladies Luncheon

If you're trying to find a hen's party idea with a little bit more 'ooh, la, la' then you just can't go past the indulgence of the girl's luncheon. Indulge your inner Upper East Sider with 4 elegant courses like Wagyu bresaola, goats curd, truffle honey, figs, and our decadent chocolate fondant, vanilla ice cream and honeycomb. For optimal effect remember to load a swipe of red lippy and turn your long lunch into an even longer night. Get your eyebrows done in Melbourne!

Darlo Country Club

https://www.facebook.com/darlocc/

With peach-coloured walls, high ceilings, leather booths and plants aplenty, the venue takes cues from a slick Californian country club. Aptly defined as being the socially acceptable excuse for day drinking, Darlo Country Club offers an epic bottomless brunch menu options so you can sip to your heart’s content.

Chiswick

https://www.chiswickwoollahra.com.au/

With a menu that’s been designed for sharing and a conveniently pretty garden location (for the pre and post-lunch group photos), Chiswick is an easy choice for The Foodie Hen. After all, their menu is the epitome of fresh thanks to an in-house garden and head chef Tom Haynes (graduate of ARIA Sydney and long-termer within Matt Moran’s team). We’re ordering the spanner crab caserecci (chili, garlic, basil) and Moran Family lamb (baby eggplant, chermoula) off the Autumn 2017 menu, assuming we’re invited to your next hens party.

Matt Moran and Peter Sullivan co-own and operate this ‘neighbourhood’ restaurant located in Chiswick Gardens. With a seasonal menu that celebrates produce from the kitchen garden, the restaurant’s emphasis is on shared foods; tuck in over a wood-roasted chicken or Moran family lamb. Groups are welcome but bookings are highly recommended.

A good idea is to get your eyebrows done.

Orto Trading Co.

https://orto-trading-co.business.site/?m=true

‘Orto’ in Italian means ‘vegetable garden’, and the simple, homely, rustic dishes pay homage to the connotation of a leafy veg patch. Try the Orto take on traditional British dishes like bangers and mash or a Ploughman’s with duck scotch egg, pickles, epicure cheddar, wagyu silverside and sourdough rolls.

Hilton Sydney

http://www.hiltonsydney.com.au/

Since its refurbishment, the Hilton has reinstated itself as one of the city’s premier five-star hotels – quite an achievement as it’s done that despite being without the otherwise obligatory harbour view. From the light-filled, four-storey-high lobby with its spiralling aluminium sculpture to the 31 ‘relaxation’ rooms and suites, it is an undeniably classy experience. The design throughout is impeccable, with limestone flooring, plush fabrics, mood lighting and (in the suites) open-plan spa bathrooms. Eating and drinking spots include Luke Mangan’s Glass brasserie and wine bar, the Zeta cocktail bar and the historic Marble Bar (established 1893) in the basement, left untouched during the refurbishment. There are also extensive conference and business facilities, and a top-end health club with gym, indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms. Great views, too, from the higher floors over nearby Sydney Tower.

Boronia Tea Room

http://www.boroniatearoom.com.au/

This grand old historic Mosman mansion opens its doors to those looking for a spot of high tea, and they do it suitably well. There’s your classic High Tea, a Little Ladies tea for seven-to-12 year olds, Champagne or Cocktail Tea options. The resident chef diligently talks guests through the savoury and sweet selections, most of which nod towards high tea classics. The savoury options change daily, and on our visit little mouthfuls of truffled risotto and mini smoked salmon brioches go down a treat. Even the classic cucumber sandwich gets an update with a light layer crème fraîche spread thinly on house-baked rye bread. The scones are light and fluffy with a hint of vanilla bean and the sweets including a passionfruit and chocolate mousse, macaroons and fruit tarts are all fresh and perfectly proportioned. Then there’s the tea, of course, with 38 selections on offer. Whether you sit inside the historic walls of Boronia Tea Room or take a seat on the veranda, there’s a good chance you’ll leave with a smile on your face.

Sir Stamford at Circular Quay

http://www.stamford.com.au/sscq

Enjoy this most English of traditions surrounded by exquisite antiques and charming artworks, in the understated elegance and warm ambiance of Sir Stamford at Circular Quay - the perfect setting for an afternoon of indulgence.

Our Sydney high teas are delectable, and include fluffy homemade scones, served with homemade jam, double cream and tea or coffee.

Radisson Blu Hotel

https://www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/hotels/radisson-blu-sydney

With traditional heritage architecture and a vintage sandstone façade, the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney welcomes you to experience a sumptuous stay in the civic heart of the CBD. Once home to the Fairfax newspaper empire and the prestigious Bank of New South Wales, this historical building now accommodates business travelers and holiday guests from all over the world. You're a short stroll from prestigious restaurants and bars, luxury shopping, and iconic sites such as the Sydney Opera House, the Queen Victoria Building, and Martin Place.

Whether you're looking to take a holiday within walking distance of Circular Quay or conduct business near Wynyard Station, our hotel enhances your visit with exemplary service and modern amenities, such as traditional High Tea in The Fax Bar. Available for corporate needs, our two heritage-style meeting rooms showcase original marble and ornate features that date back to the 1800s, and our spacious, modern venues allow you to host your next function in style. Elegant experiences await as you step back in time in our classic establishment.

High tea at the Radisson Blue is an elegant, subdued affair. There are no hen’s parties getting rowdy on sparkling here. It’s a hushed, accessible space where you can recover from a day in the city, or fortify yourself before one begins. Sink into a plush green armchair built for two and gaze out the enormous arched windows as one of the ten, traditional Twinings loose leaf blends brews in silver pots on your table. Service is eager and catering for dietary restrictions is especially easy as all the cakelets on the top tier of the slate tea stand are gluten free. That means tart raspberry jelly, lemon curd tarts and chocolate beetroot cake are all fair game. Sandwich triangles come with cucumber or roast beef and salmon roses arrive on soft white bread. It’s familiar, rich and filling fare. You’ll only feel the gluten-free pinch with the flat, crumbly scones that are not match for their tall, golden, wheat-based counterparts.

Primus Hotel Sydney

https://www.primushotelsydney.com/

One of Sydney's swankiest hotels has a hidden rooftop oasis and rooms that channel 1930s sophistication

While the CBD may not have the same late-night pulling power it used, there's a hotel that's luring Sydneysiders and international travellers to not just stay out after dark, but to stay out overnight. The Primus opened up in early mid-2015 bringing a five star hotel to one of the quieter nooks of the CBD.

The hotel's outer facade isn't anything particularly eye-catching and the heritage building (though beautiful from the outside on closer inspection) doesn't stick out among the tall grey towers of Pitt Street. However as soon as you're inside the hotel lobby this quickly changes. A sprawling atrium with grand columns houses glossed cream marble floors and the copper-lined check in desk. Staff are extremely efficient and friendly and check in is seamless on our visit.

The rooms (of which there are 172) are decidedly sophisticated with nods to the building’s heritage. The art deco plot was once the headquarters for the Sydney Water Board and original finishes still shine throughout the hotel. Back down in your room you'll find suitable amenities and a marble bathroom. Add to this ultra comfy beds dotted with oxblood soft furnishings, navy blue carpet and gold accents and you've got one luxe room. There are plenty of different suite options ranging from comfortable twins to the extravagant presidential suite.   

The big bonus of staying in this hotel is access to the exclusive rooftop pool. The hidden oasis located on level four is the ultimate rooftop, complete with a bar, cabanas and a long pool deck. Check in as early as you can and spend as much time up here as possible. 

The Primus Hotel's location lends itself to a few excellent near by dinner options: get your grill on at one of the neighbouring Korean Barbecue joints or warm yourself up with a hearty bowl of rich tonkotsu ramen. If you don't feel like venturing out of the hotel, the bar has an excellent wine list and snacks available till late. It’s got an old school feel and a decent wine list.

Boasting a stellar career both internationally and in Australia, Executive Chef harnesses his deep understanding of multicultural culinary styles at The Wilmot. The seasonal menu has been prepared with local ingredients, and the highest quality, fresh produce. The compelling beverage list is also specially crafted to be the perfect complement to the restaurant’s ever-evolving menu.

Pastry Chef Andria Liu has reimagined the classic high tea into an experience of modern elegance, serving two bespoke high teas in the grand lobby. For a more intimate setting, the high tea menu can also be enjoyed in the elegance of The Wilmot.

Shangri-La Hotel Sydney

http://www.shangri-la.com/sydney

Sleepovers with a view

Talk about a breakfast of champions. Shangri-la Sydney’s aptly named Horizon Club Lounge up on levels 30-36 is where Horizon Club guests can partake of an Asian, continental or whatever-you-like brekky buffet to views of Sydney Harbour, the Bridge and the Opera House. Ferries and cruise ships putter around below you like toys in a bathtub, and the view extends from the Blue Mountains in the west to the heads and the Pacific Ocean in the east. If you believe, like most locals do, that this is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, then staying at the Shangri-la Sydney is a heck of a way to experience it.

While here, you will want to visit the hotel’s famous top-floor venues, Blu Bar on 36 and Altitude restaurant. As well as that incredible view, Blu Bar on 36 features premium table service and popular concoctions such as Le Formidable, a combo of Bombay Sapphire Gin, apple juice, peach bitters and raspberry. Altitude boasts a private dining room for groups of 18 in a glass box overlooking the city for that King-of-the-World ambience while enjoying modern European cuisine such as Byron Bay sucking pig cooked three ways with abalone, or grain-fed Angus beef tenderloin with beetroot puree. Strategic mirrors ensure that you can take in that mind-blowing view even if seated with your back to the windows.

The hotel was extensively renovated in 2015 with a fresh palette of gold and silver and specially commissioned carpets and artworks. A spectacular chandelier made of three brass rings hangs in the atrium of Horizon Club and can be seen from many points on the foreshore, fulfilling the architect’s original vision of the building as a ‘lighthouse’. The rooms evoke classic luxury with marble bathrooms, blond timber panelling and the largest windows of any of the city’s harbourfront hotels. Fun details in Horizon Club class rooms include speakers in the bathrooms that relay the sounds of the TV, as well as a pillow menu.

The hotel’s Chi the Spa on level two fuses Australian healing techniques and botanical ingredients with Asian and Middle Eastern therapies. A treatment unique in Australia is the Arabian Oud Renewal Therapy, using oud wood, frankincense, sandalwood and rose during a 90-minute treatment on the face and the body. Urban beehives on the outdoor terrace on the level three rooftop produce the hotel’s own honey. There’s buzz, too, about the hotel’s celebrity pastry chef, Anna Polyviou, famous for her punk hairdo and her patisserie creations that pack a visual and flavour punch.

Swissotel Sydney

https://www.swissotel.com/hotels/sydney/

Buffet high tea? It's enough to make June Dally-Watkins spit out her Oolong in horror. But we don't object on principle – regular high tea is just a tiered smorgasbord at your table when you think about it – and neither do the crowds of mums, daughters and girlfriends who show up to the Swissotel's light-filled eighth-floor lobby every weekend for this heretic offering. A Bellini on arrival is a fine touch, and there's a novelty in seeing all the staple goodies laid out at the buffet – one table holds cold savouries like the cucumber sandwich with almost petal-like cucumber slices between soft, fresh bread; another has hot food, including a mini samosa and quiche. The desserts table will delight the kid inside you, spilling over as it is with meringue tarts and cheesecake slices, but they could work on their technique: our scone is dry, even for a scone. Service here can you leave you rudderless but if you are an all-you-can-eat type, and have a high sugar tolerance, there are good times to be had above Market Street.

Parliament House

https://parliamentarycatering.com.au/experience/high-tea-in-the-house/

Known to locals as the Bear Pit, the New South Wales Parliament is said to be the roughest, toughest parliament in the country.

Its impressive sandstone home was built between 1811 and 1814 as the northern wing of the Rum Hospital, but was commandeered in 1829 to house the new colony’s decision makers. Only the Legislative Assembly (lower house) existed until 1850s, when the parliament became bicameral.

The Legislative Council (upper house) meets in a building that was originally intended for use as a church; the cast-iron prefab was being shipped from Glasgow to Victoria when it was diverted mid-voyage to Sydney.

The parliament is largely modelled on its mother in London: there’s a Speaker and Black Rod, and even the colour scheme follows the British tradition of green for the lower chamber and red for the upper chamber.

Legislative sessions are open to the general public, with viewing from a public gallery. Booking is essential for the guided tours. High Tea is held every Friday in the Strangers’ Restaurant from 12 pm to 3 pm. A selection of freshly brewed teas & coffee and handmade sweet & savoury delights are served on the traditional Parliamentary Crested Wedgwood plates. The fresh gourmet creations are designed to showcase a wide variety of seasonal produce sourced from throughout regional New South Wales.

Hydro Majestic Hotel

http://www.hydromajestic.com.au/

The famous Blue Mountains hotel is back in action and serving the highest of teas

Since 1904 the Hydro Majestic has been an elegant sentinel on Sydney’s Western border, perched on a precipice in the Blue Mountains suburb of Medlow Bath. It originally operated as a health retreat before being used as a hospital for American soldiers injured in the Pacific during WWII. In 2008 the hotel closed for a major refurb, reopening those Art Deco doors in late 2014. And if you can’t stretch to an overnight stay, you can always visit for high tea.

Tea is served in the Wintergarden, the dining room with banquette-to-ceiling windows that look out over the majesty of the Megalong Valley. So it’s worth booking far enough ahead to ensure you get a window seat.

Inclement weather can be unwelcome on a weekend away but in fact seeing the valley vanish under a rain or, at that altitude, hail cloud, is almost preferable to basking in the afternoon sun, which can get a little toasty. Fortunately comfort is a watchword at the Hydro and automated blinds sink to a precise level that shades the eyes without restricting your view. They’ve thought through all contingencies.

The standard tea package ($55) is an afternoon affair on weekdays, but on weekends ($65) they wind it back an hour to fit everyone in; last bookings are always at 3pm. They also do a gluten-free high tea, as well as one specifically designed for children. If you’re some sort of renegade who refuses to play by the terribly British rules, there’s an Eastern tea that features dumplings, barbecue duck pancakes, vegetarian rice paper rolls and twice-cooked pork belly.

We take the traditionalist route: a three-tiered stand arrives with a savoury-to sweet-ratio that favours sandwiches over cake – just the way we like it. Start with the scones while they’re still warm; spread both the plain and sultana varieties with thick cream and strawberry conserve. The second-tier savouries include little pancakes that are admittedly fridge cold, but any vehicle for smoked salmon dotted with caviar is a welcome one, and the teeny blue cheese and caramelised onion tart is tiny but mighty flavourful.

The bread for the crust-free finger sandwiches might well have been carved out from the heart of the loaf, so soft and pillowy is the casing for thin slices of cucumber with butter or rare roast beef with rocket and a whisper of relish. Our pick is the generously dressed and well-packed chicken number. By this point you’ll have had more than an elegant sufficiency, but sweet tooths should forge ahead, anyway. The top tier boasts a dense, sugar-dusted madeleine, buttery shortbread biscuits with a jam centre and shot glasses of something called a Cappuccino, which lives somewhere in the spaces between an unset mocha mousse and chocolate sauce. Of course, if someone offered us nothing but a plate of the perfect fruit flan with room for two tiny spears of strawberry flesh and one single blueberry on top of a luxurious vanilla custard in a crisp gumnut-sized pastry shell? We’d die happy.

Their tea range is ten-strong and lets you stay in familiar territory with Earl Grey, English breakfast and peppermint, or take a punt on something more exotic like the Mousson Sur Ha Noi, which is described as a Vietnamese green tea blended with lychee, banana flower and daisy flavour, embellished with flaming safflowers. The best part is they don’t charge for round two on your caffeinated beverage of choice.

High tea at its core may just be snack plates and all the hot beverages you can manage. But when it’s located in one of the most beautiful mountain settings in striking distance of the city, it elevates your afternoon pick me up to an elegant repast that is worth heading to the hills for.

Twin Peck Cabaret - Afternoon Tease - High Tea Hens Party Sydney, with a Cheeky Twist.

Glamping

For an outdoorsy bride to be a night glamping under the stars is an ideal event. Delight in the peace and quiet of nature, in the luxurious comfort of glamour camping. Commemorate around the campfire prior to settling into your personal tents complete with correct beds and all the amenities you could perhaps require.

Paperbark Camp, Jervis Bay

https://paperbarkcamp.com.au/

Combining premium tented accommodation with wonderful food & warm hospitality, Paperbark Camp is a peaceful bush retreat in beautiful Jervis Bay – think camping for grownups!

For many of our guests, a stay at Paperbark Camp is a well earned chance to sleep in, enjoy a long lazy breakfast on the verandah with the papers, perhaps a couple of hours on the beach with a good book before heading back for an afternoon snooze and contemplating another candle lit dinner in the Gunyah.

For others, it is a base from which to get busy exploring the spectacular Jervis Bay area with its pristine beaches and award winning national parks, a true playground for the outdoor enthusiast.

Sierra Escape, Mudgee

http://www.sierraescape.com.au/mudgee-glamping/

Sierra Escape — Mudgee's first and only luxe glamping retreat — is located 260 kilometres north-west of Sydney. The 280-acre property boasts spectacular views and is home to wildlife including kangaroos, deer and a variety of native birds. So yeah, basically it's paradise. The original tent — if you can even call something this opulent a tent — includes floor-to-ceiling windows, a king-sized bed, a camp stove and fridge, an ethanol fireplace and a separate bathroom complete with freestanding bath, shower and flushing toilet. It's insulated for all seasons, and there's even a deck out front where you can kick back and watch the sunset. And, it has company courtesy of two other, newer abodes, including a hilltop tent specifically for couples and another that sleeps seven.

Tandara, Lane Cove National Park

http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/accommodation/tandara

If you love camping and your plus one loathes it, Tandara is neutral ground. This luxury camping option within Lane Cove National Park and Lane Cove River Tourist Caravan Park is a stone's throw from Sydney's CBD via the Gore Hill freeway — so it's super easy to take a weekend away without the lengthy road trip. The roomy African safari-style tents feature a super stylish get-up, with a TV, good-sized tub and beautiful shower facilities — making it the ideal reading/DVD retreat space for the not-so-keen nature junky. A wildlife tour is a must: hang out with lorikeets, water dragons, tawny frogmouths, ringtail and brushtail possums, owls, sugar gliders and even endangered bandicoots. Tandara boasts beautiful manicured gardens to enjoy with glass of bubbly in hand, and should you pine for news of the outside world, the carrier kookaburras are very reliable.

Nestled near the beautiful Lane Cove National Park, just 10km north of the Sydney CBD, Tandara is the ultimate luxury camping experience and the perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway immersed in nature.

Harmoniously integrated into the Australian bush, Tandara offers first class facilities in a serene setting - positioned on the edge of a sandstone shelf with uninterrupted views across the Lane Cove Valley. Here you can do as much or as little as you want; go kayaking in the nearby river, explore the park on any of the many bushwalks available, take a leisurely bike ride or just enjoy a lazy afternoon sipping a glass of fine wine on your private deck.

Make the most of your stay at Tandara – the abundant wildlife includes kookaburras, lorikeets, water dragons, tawny frogmouths, ringtail and brushtail possums, powerful owls, sugar gliders and even endangered bandicoots.

Flash Camp, Coolendel

http://www.flashcamp.com.au/coolendel/

Located a 2.5-hour drive down the South Coast from Sydney (or thirty minutes from Nowra), the remote glamping campsite offers a true bush experience — complete with no reception. But you won't be too far from creature comforts, the tents are luxe and stocked with quality wares. They come with comfortable mattress covered in plush bedding, solar lighting, a table and chairs, toiletries and a hand-woven Armadillo & Co rug. The glamping site is located within Coolendel's 52 hectares of bushland along the Shoalhaven River. Nature lovers will be keen on this secluded grassy park, which is an ideal location for spotting wombats, goannas, wallabies and native birds. Apart from nature watching and bushwalking, guests can also try a spot of canoeing, biking and fishing.

Tanja Lagoon Camp

http://www.tanjalagooncamp.com.au/

Stay in a safari tent, minus the lions. Instead, kangaroos, koalas and sooty owls surround you here. This super-secluded parcel of private land in the middle of a lagoon-tipped national park is a real haven, with only four tents on the property. The tents aren't the kind that are going to packed up any time soon; each comes with an ensuite bathroom, handcrafted queen-size bed, sofa/daybed, writing desk, kitchen, barbecue and, if you go the deluxe option, a bathtub to fit two. They sit on their own expansive decks made of local timber, most of it milled on site, since Tanja Lagoon Camp is an eco-orientated operation. If reading on your daybed isn't activity enough, there's canoeing, swimming, mountain biking, wine tasting and gallery-going to be done.

We have chosen this style of accommodation to complement the magnificent site. It provides shelter and comfort with minimal separation from the beautiful natural setting. Each tent rests on it’s own spacious deck.

Inside each tent is a beautiful and comfortable handcrafted Queen size bed positioned to enjoy the best of the view when the tent is fully opened. There is also a lounge area with a sofa and writing desk. During the cooler months we provide a Noirot heater on a timer switch to take the chill out of the room. Off the back of each deck is an ensuite bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen with  fridge/freezer, microwave and cooking equipment. There is a quality gas barbecue with a hotplate, grill, oven chamber and side burner. The spacious front decks have views of the lagoon, a comfortable dining setting, an ethanol brazier in the cooler months and the sofa is easy to move outside to be enjoyed as a daybed. Each tent also has it’s own fire drum with camp chairs and fire wood provided. Weather permitting, we encourage guests to enjoy the pleasures of a campfire. All linen is provided and the use of our canoes and a delicious local produce light breakfast for two is included in the price. See Dining for details.

Snuggled on the Mosman headland, Taronga's safari tents — super comfortable and fully set up — are perched atop the country's most famous zoo (with the stunning Sydney Harbour views the giraffes enjoy daily).

cranbar dining area bar and girls drinking

Cranebar

https://www.cranebar.com.au/hens-parties

Unless you’re treating yourself to miscellaneous rotisserie-sliced meats or awesome Portuguese chicken chains, late-night dining options in Kings Cross can be a little thin on the ground. But one recent addition to the Potts Point bar scene is looking to change that, with a fresh mix of Japanese food aimed at the after-ten crowd.

Just down from the heaving masses at World Bar and Candy’s Apartment, Crane Bar is a great option for those who want the action of a night in the Cross with more of a chilled vibe. And there’s some seriously good food here, whether you’re in for a sit-down dinner or snacks between cocktails.

Start with edamame. Chilli and truffle salt make the soybean pods both zingy and earthy. Steamed-then-fried gyoza are god’s gift to bar snacking, while sushi rolls are beautifully presented and great for sharing. Try the ‘fire crunch’: spicy tuna with crisp-fried onions and tobiko roe.

Skip the exxy sashimi and go for the chicken karaage. Presumably Japanese for ‘put all of these in my mouth right now’, these little pieces of crisp, fried chicken are served with a wasabi mayonnaise that offers plenty of spark without the horseradish afterburn.

Cocktail-wise, our pick is the Yuzu Sour (yes, we go back for seconds) thanks to its delicately citrusy taste and refreshing variation on the lemon Warhead theme that many bars try to dole out. For savoury drinks fans, the Umami Mary delivers on the promised fifth element of Japanese flavour, while the Miyagi Mule has a strong ginger ale base and all the kick of its namesake. Best of all, the gents behind the bar mix the goods with plenty of sass and none of the pretension that you might expect from a bar in this end of club-town.

For those who want to kick on beyond the dinner table, the open-air lounge at the back is taken over in the later hours with a spiral staircase (trucked in from the set of The Great Gatsby, no less) serving as a DJ booth. If you’re tired of throwing shapes around the tree sprouting up through the dance floor, you can retire into the VIP room in the back corner, which offers a more traditional tea house vibe for private groups.

Crane offers solid cocktails, friendly staff and food that’s made for popping in your mouth between stints on the DF. If you were looking for late-night digs in the Cross for grown ups, you’ve found it.

Australian Outback Adventure Tour

https://www.panair.com.au/outback-adventure-tours

The Billabong Retreat

https://www.billabongretreat.com.au/

The Billabong Retreat in Maraylya is an easy-breezy 45 minutes from Sydney (because she lives for yoga and meditation) and let’s just say this place is downright… beautiful.

Sangoma Retreat

https://spicersretreats.com/retreats/spicers-sangoma-retreat/

For a seriously unmatchable hen’s getaway, the Sangoma Retreat in the Blue Mountains is everything you want it to be. Think sauna facilities, an infinity lap pool and a killer restaurant with top-notch tipple. And note that the warmer months mean dining under the stars while in winter you’ll be roasting marshmallows at dinnertime on the outdoor open-pit fire. We know, it’s magical.

Newhaven

Stay at the epic 10 guest Newhaven which is just a 20-minute drive up the road and sits on five acres of private land. The flower-adorned home offers alfresco dining under grapevines (yep you read that right), pebble footpaths and hill-top views of the valley.

Luxe South Coast in Berry

https://luxesouthcoast.com.au/

Berry has a great range of luxury accommodation options for larger groups – some of our favs include Ashworth House, Cuttagee, Hill End and Bundara Farm.

Winery Hens

A day of wining and dining versus a backdrop of rolling hills and grapevines brings an air of sophistication even the mother of the bride-to-be will love. But what occurs next depends on you! Keep it classy and review your wine speak, or pop another cork and let the good times roll. There's plenty of room to gather all the women together, or expanded and conceal the new in-laws from the novelty straws and X-rated games (There's constantly one!) Our Hens Party Winery Tour permits you to absorb the sights, and drinks, from the convenience of a privately-chauffeured automobile. So, slip on your rosé-coloured glasses, kick back and unwind. We're going to make this a day to remember! (Albeit a little hazy the next morning).
