Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef – A Trip to Remember 💙🐠

Just got back from an unforgettable girls’ trip to Cairns, and I had to share one of the absolute highlights — snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef!

It’s been over 10 years since I last did this, and diving back in (literally!) was honestly so refreshing and magical. We had the most perfect day — clear blue skies, warm sun on our backs, and calm, crystal-clear water. Couldn’t have asked for better conditions.

We went to two stunning snorkelling spots, each one more breathtaking than the last. The coral was alive with colour and texture — from bright purples and oranges to soft pastel pinks. And the fish! So many vibrant, curious little creatures swimming all around us. It felt like we were inside a David Attenborough doco.

We even managed to get a bit too adventurous and ended up a little lost in the open water for a while but found our way back easily.

Honestly, the photos and videos we took don’t even come close to capturing how beautiful it all was. You’ve got to see it with your own eyes to believe it.

If you’re ever heading to Cairns, snorkelling the reef is an absolute must-do. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, it’s something that sticks with you — peaceful, awe-inspiring, and a reminder of just how incredible nature really is.

Already dreaming about going back…

Our Girls’ Getaway at Hilton Cairns – Sunshine, Champagne & So Many Laughs

Just got back from the most unforgettable girls’ trip to Cairns, and I can’t stop thinking about how perfect it was—especially our stay at the Hilton Cairns.

We booked three rooms for the six of us, and from the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect little escape from real life. The hotel itself was stunning, right on the water with those dreamy views that make you stop and take it all in. Waking up to the sight of palm trees and the Coral Sea sparkling in the morning sun? Absolutely unreal.

The rooms were gorgeous—spacious, clean, and super comfy, with big windows that made the most of that beautiful Queensland light. Whether we were getting ready for a night out or winding down after a full day of exploring, it felt like our own little slice of paradise.

But what really made the stay so special was the staff. They were friendly, warm, and genuinely helpful the whole way through. They even organised a late check-out for us, which was a lifesaver after one too many celebratory champagnes the night before!

And speaking of celebrations—one of the girls had her birthday while we were there, and the team at Hilton went above and beyond. When we walked into the room, there was a beautiful birthday cake waiting for us and a bottle of chilled champagne, all arranged so thoughtfully. It made her day, and honestly, it made the rest of us feel pretty spoiled too. Little touches like that really do stick with you.

We spent our days soaking up the sun, doing a bit of sightseeing, and just enjoying each other’s company. It was the kind of trip that fills your cup in all the best ways—laughs, chats, naps, cocktails, and no schedules.

If you’re thinking about booking a stay at Hilton Cairns—do it. It was the perfect base for our tropical escape, and we couldn’t be more grateful for how well we were looked after.

A big thank you to the Hilton team for making our trip one to remember. We’re already talking about coming back next year!

Why Every Mum Needs a Girls’ Getaway

Just got back from the most amazing girls’ trip to Cairns, and wow—I didn’t realise how much I needed that break until I was in it.

We booked a lovely hotel right near the water, the kind where you wake up to palm trees and sunshine pouring through the curtains. We planned a few excursions— just enough to feel like we were doing something special. Think reef tours, beach strolls, cocktails by the pool… the good stuff.

Coming from soggy, cold Sydney, stepping into Cairns’ warm tropical weather felt like heaven. No jumpers, no rain, just that beautiful Far North Queensland sunshine that instantly lifts your mood. We were living in our swimmers and sundresses, and honestly, I didn’t miss the layers one bit.

But the best part? The company. There’s something so special about being with your girls—no pressure, no roles to play, just open chats and loads of laughs. We talked about everything and nothing, stayed up too late, danced like no one was watching, and just enjoyed being ourselves. It’s amazing how much lighter you feel when you’re surrounded by people who really get you.

And that’s why I’ll never stop saying how important these little escapes are. Life is busy, and as mums, partners, workers—we’re always doing something for someone else. But there’s real magic in stepping away for a bit and just being you.

If you’ve been thinking about planning a girls’ trip—do it. Don’t overthink it. You don’t need a massive budget or a long itinerary. Just pick a place, gather your favourite people, and go. The laughs, the chats, the memories—it’s all so worth it.

To my beautiful girls, thank you for being exactly what I needed. My heart feels full, my spirit feels light, and I already can’t wait for the next one. 💛🌴🍹

Escape at Caves Beach

If you’re looking to book a holiday around the Central Coast area and you love the beach, I highly recommend Escape at Caves Beaches Cottage, located at Caves Beach. We stayed there recently, and it was absolutely wonderful.

You can book the property easily through Airbnb. The house is beautifully maintained, spacious, and comfortably accommodates up to seven people. It’s fully equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a covered outdoor space, a barbecue area, and even a play area for the kids – perfect for family getaways.

The cottage is only a 10-minute walk to the stunning Caves Beach, where we enjoyed unforgettable sunrises and relaxing beach days. The location is brilliant, with plenty of lovely cafes, restaurants, and hangout spots nearby. There’s also a shopping centre just a short drive away, making it very convenient if you’re planning to cook your own meals – the kitchen had everything we needed.

One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the caves at low tide – it’s a magical experience to walk inside and explore. If you do stay there, I highly recommend waking up early for sunrise at the beach. It’s truly worth it.

We had a fantastic time and would definitely return. Escape to the Beaches Cottage is a perfect choice if you’re after a relaxing, beachside escape with family or friends.

But wait, there’s more! If you love dancing or just want to see me trying to keep up with the latest trending dances (sometimes nailing them, sometimes… not so much), you’ll get plenty of that too. And yes, I do love a good dance challenge – even if it means my kids hide in the next room pretending not to know me.

Oh, and did I mention the recipes? I love sharing my favourite recipes – from mouthwatering traditional Nepali dishes that bring a taste of home to healthy, guilt-free options that make eating well so much easier. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for dinner ideas, I’ve got you covered.

And finally, I sprinkle in some good old-fashioned fun – jokes, light-hearted skits, and all those random thoughts that just can’t be left unshared.
