Bruny Island Ferry Ride – A Memorable Family Adventure

Posted on July 8, 2025 | Leave a comment

One of the most memorable parts of our Tasmania trip was the ferry ride to Bruny Island with SeaLink. The whole experience felt like the perfect start to a day of exploring. We booked our return car ticket online for around $46, which made things a bit easier—but we still had to wait in the queue for nearly an hour before boarding, as it does get quite busy. A little patience goes a long way here!

As soon as we drove onto the ferry and stepped out of the car, the kids were buzzing with excitement. It felt so different from our usual drives—open air, fresh breeze, and the excitement of heading to an island. The view from the ferry was absolutely stunning—calm blue waters, rolling hills in the distance, and seagulls soaring overhead.

We stood out on the deck, soaking in the peaceful scenery and cool sea air, chatting and taking in the moment. The kids were running from side to side, spotting boats, waving at other passengers, and just enjoying the whole vibe. It was such a wholesome moment for the family.

We were all excited knowing that once we arrived, a full day of island adventures awaited us—beautiful beaches, wildlife, and great food. The ferry ride really set the tone for a fun and relaxed day on Bruny Island.

If you’re visiting Tasmania with family, we highly recommend taking the time to do this ferry trip. It’s not just a way to get to the island—it’s part of the experience!

Ms Korea Hobart – A Family Favourite!

Posted on July 7, 2025 | Leave a comment

We had such a great experience dining at Ms Korea in Hobart that we ended up going back again! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean and welcoming the space was. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick—perfect when you’re dining out with kids.

The Korean fried chicken was absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavour. The kids couldn’t get enough of it! I ordered the chicken bowl, which was packed with flavour and really satisfying.

What made us go back? The combination of great food, fast service, and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. If you’re in Hobart and looking for tasty Korean food, we definitely recommend giving Ms Korea a try!

A Visit to Get Shucked on Bruny Island

Posted on July 5, 2025 | Leave a comment

A visit to Get Shucked on Bruny Island is a must for anyone who loves fresh seafood. Nestled in one of Tasmania’s most scenic spots, this oyster farm and eatery offers some of the freshest seafood you can find, right by the water. On our recent visit, it was the perfect combination of delicious food, beautiful views, and a little island adventure.

When we arrived at Get Shucked, we were greeted by a lively atmosphere. The place was packed, so we had to wait a little for a table. But we weren’t in any rush—the environment was so relaxed and the surrounding views were breathtaking. While we waited, we grabbed some drinks and soaked in the beauty of Bruny Island. The anticipation made the food feel even more exciting.

And once we finally sat down and our food arrived, it was all worth the wait. We opted for baked oysters, a fantastic choice for the start of the day. The oysters were fresh out of the water, and the taste was absolutely incredible. Each bite was smooth, delicate, and perfectly balanced with the rich flavour of melted cheese and seasoning. You could really taste the freshness, as if you were eating directly from the sea. The flavours were so clean and natural, and I could almost taste the salty sea breeze in each bite.

Alongside the oysters, we had a generous serving of crispy chips. These were golden, crunchy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside—absolutely perfect. They paired so well with the oysters, giving a crispy contrast to the tender, briny seafood. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you satisfied and happy, knowing you’ve just enjoyed something truly delicious.

This meal was the ideal way to kickstart our day. Bruny Island is known for its beautiful landscapes and fresh produce, and there’s something incredibly special about enjoying the food right where it’s harvested. The crisp, fresh air and the ocean views made it even more memorable. We took some time to enjoy the surroundings—the clear skies, the peaceful water, and the natural beauty all around us. It’s a place that makes you slow down and appreciate the simple things in life.

If you’re a fan of seafood, especially oysters, Get Shucked is the place to be. Whether you’re a longtime oyster lover or a first-timer, this spot will leave you wanting more. With top-quality seafood, friendly service, and an incredible setting, it’s an experience you won’t forget. Even though we had to wait a little for our table, the food made it all worthwhile. Sometimes the best meals come with a little bit of patience, and this one certainly did.

Next time you find yourself on Bruny Island, be sure to stop by Get Shucked. Grab a drink, enjoy the stunning views, and treat yourself to some of the freshest oysters you’ll ever taste. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss.

Family Stay at DoubleTree by Hilton : Hobart

Posted on July 4, 2025 | Leave a comment

Our recent family getaway to DoubleTree by Hilton was an absolute delight! From the moment we checked in, the little thoughtful touches made our stay so special. We were welcomed with a bottle of white sparkling wine and their signature warm cookies, which we couldn’t get enough of. We grabbed those cookies daily—they were always fresh, warm, and so satisfying.

The daily breakfast buffet was a highlight for all of us. The variety was incredible—fluffy pancakes, fresh pastries, crispy bacon, made-to-order omelettes, fresh fruits, cereals, and even healthier options like avocado and granola. It felt like starting every morning with a feast, and it was perfect for fuelling our day.

The kids practically lived in the pool, splashing around and having a blast, while we loved unwinding in the sauna. It was the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. The sauna was clean, spacious, and added such a luxurious feel to our stay.

The location of the hotel was another big win. It’s close to the city, so we could easily walk to dinner each evening, exploring nearby restaurants and enjoying the lively atmosphere. The evening walks became a lovely part of our routine.

Our room was ideal for a family of four—spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. After full days of fun, the cosy beds ensured a great night’s sleep. The staff were exceptional—always friendly, attentive, and ready to make our stay even better.

This trip was such a wonderful escape for us. It gave us the chance to slow down, connect as a family, and enjoy a mix of fun, relaxation, and delicious food. From the cookies to the breakfast buffet, the pool, sauna, and incredible service, DoubleTree by Hilton really made it feel like a home away from home.

If you’re planning a family getaway, we highly recommend this hotel. We’ll definitely be back to relive these amazing moments!

Anniversary Dinner at Hunter & Barrel – A Night to Remember ❤️🍷

Posted on July 3, 2025 | Leave a comment

We celebrated our anniversary this year at Hunter & Barrel in Parramatta, and I have to say—it was such a lovely experience from start to finish.

Parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a win in Parramatta! We had a booking, so we were seated straight away. The venue itself has a warm, rustic charm with an inviting ambience, perfect for a special celebration. Our server was welcoming and attentive throughout the meal, which made everything even more enjoyable.

We went with the three-course set menu and started the night with a round of drinks—a cocktail for me and a glass of red wine for hubby.

For starters, we shared:

  • Calamari – Buttermilk and Szechuan marinated, lightly fried, and served with a delicious chilli jam.
  • Crispy Wings – Perfectly cooked and paired with smoky chipotle yoghurt. So flavourful!

For mains, I went for the Lamb Shank, which was beautifully tender, served with horseradish mash, roasted honey carrots, and rich jus. Absolutely melt-in-your-mouth!
Hubby had the Crispy Pork Belly Tacos—crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with flavour. Both mains came with crispy chips.

And of course, no celebration is complete without dessert!

  • I had the Blood Orange & Apple Sorbet, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with fresh seasonal fruit and passionfruit pulp.
  • Hubby chose the Basque Cheesecake with macerated strawberries, black pepper, basil, and Chantilly cream. It was heavenly!

The sweetest touch? They surprised us with “Happy Anniversary” written on our dessert plate. 🥹💖 Little details like that really make the day feel special.

We absolutely loved the vibe, the service, and every bite of food. Highly recommend Hunter & Barrel for any special occasion—or even just a nice night out.

Here’s to more beautiful moments like this one 🥂
