My dream holiday escape would be one without kids so I can have a full night sleep for once!!!!!
Somewhere with free room service and a nice view. There’s one hotel I’d love to stay but I don’t know the name. I don’t know much about hotels.
A big comfy bed
To rest my weary head
A welcome surprise of chocolates and bubbles
To take away my troubles
A spa in our room
I’d find it hard to leave with late checkout at noon
city skyline view from an amazing pool
quite enough to make me drool!
My dream Melbourne escape would be in a historical hotel with amazing historical features as I believe we should be proud of our history and charm. Be great to get a break from being a mum for night too.
My dream hotel escape would be somewhere centrally located in a room with privacy and comforts. That way the best that the city has to offer will be at my fingertips but I can easily escape the hustle and bustle in my cosy room with amazing city views.
The 4.9 of 5 rated Park Hyatt would be divine for our first ‘all night’ night out without our 1yr old. To stay in such a luxurious and quite hotel would be heaven. Not to mention we may just get a sleep in, would be the first in a year!
My dream hotel escape has to have luxuries i don’t get at home. Be comfy, quiet and in general a place where I can get a full nights sleep without been woken up by a screaming baby or a 6 yr old watching TV at 6am!
We need a break, a weekend escape.
Pack for short holiday that feels like a really long stay.
Time to relax and unwind, come back feeling wined and dined.
A kid free weekend before we welcome baby number three,
This would be our dream Melbourne hotel escape!!
My dream Melbourne hotel escape:
Somewhere snazzy in the city… Without the kids!
Late check-out & full breakfast… Without the kids!
Nearby restaurants & boutique shopping… Without the kids!
In-hotel gym, bar & pool… Without the kids!
Basically, as long as we get some time alone without the kids it’ll be perfect!!! 😀
Somewhere quiet, where I can get just six hours of uninterrupted sleep. I’ll be perfectly honest……I might not even tell the husband!!
My dream escape would be somewhere with entertainment for the kids as well as somewhere that hubby and I can go for some romance time.
The Langham – have always longed to stay there as it looks so elegant, glamorous & classy, especially love it’s grand staircase. Reminiscent of bygone eras. Closest I’ve got was high tea at melba’s which was beautiful but would have been lovely to complete the day with an overnight stay
My dream hotel escape –
1. No kids
2. Comfy pillows, stocked mini bar, big bath, movies.
3. Room service breakfast.
4. Day spa or massage for me, pub nearby for hubby!
A hotel room with city views. A big bed, only for two. Blossoming flowers by the bed. Silky bed sheets as soft as a baby’s behind and puffed up pillows. Luxurious spa bath with luscious soaps on the side. Escape to parents paradise? Yes please.
Hilton Melbourne South Wharf. Situated in the heart of the city’s newest precinct and right next to the DFO. My life would be complete 🙂
Wow… Just a space where I am just ME. I love my boys, one which has special needs and just not have to share my drink or be asked the same question a thousand times and just quiet… it would be heaven.
My ideal break in the city would be one with a good friend, bubbles, great food, a little dancing and a comfy bed with sweet pillows!! Oh, did I mention, NO CHILDREN!!!
An inner city getaway would be perfect for hubby and I as we have never spent anytime away from our gorgeous daughters but it would still be close enough to home without feeling guilty of being too far away 🙂
A foodie and theatrical escape! I’d love to experience the provenance, tradition, fashion, culture and live performance scene that is Melbourne. It is also a foodies paradise! From fish and chips to fine dining – it’s like sending your taste buds to university!
My favourite hotel in Melbourne has to be The Langham hotel. It is absolutely stunning and PINK! The restaurant and smorgasbord breakfast is amazing!
City escape- I would love to be able to send my parents off to a hotel for a city escape in one of our wonderful hotels, they could see a show, do some shopping enjoy the quite of there room without there Grandkids running through the house. They could pretend for one night that life was grand & enjoy breakfast in bed. They have been a pillar for me & I would love to give back to them.
My dream Melbourne hotel escape would be a weekend with no kids, just my husband and I, a spa, a big comfy bed, great views (maybe even a deck if the weather was nice), delicious room service for breakfast in bed and a booking to a special restaurant for a romantic dinner. Oh what a dream that would be!!
Time to relax and recharge with my beloved, preferably in a king sized hotel suite, with a long, leisurely dinner and a long, leisurely sleep in – a distant memory for us with two babies!
The 19th October marks 10 years anniversary it marks the last time we were away together alone without kids. we are going through some hardship at the moment and an evening away with all the bells and whistles sounds like a dream and an awesome pressie
I would love to say it would involve relaxing and sleeping but actually I think I would dust off the heels, dress up and paint the town red. Then back to our fancy hotel, a little tipsy order room service, watch movies and pray for a late checkout!
The Radission on Flagstaff wonderful service brilliant rooms and excellent atmosphere
Arriving at the hotel, I am greeted by Louis my butler for the week. He serves me a chilled glass of vintage champagne and gives me the tour of the penthouse suite where Channing Tatum is waiting patiently for me on the balcony, wearing nothing but a towel…
No kids, no monitors, too much wine.
Sleeping past 6AM would be mighty fine.
Lushing about in a swanky hotel room,
No cleaning, no mops not even a broom!
So far from the reality of everyday life,
Happy husband and one very happy wife!
Cocktails, sunsets, lively bars
Unwinding by pools and rejuvenating spas.
Evening dinner, comfy beds.
No waking early, room service breakfast instead!
my dream stay would be at the Marriot.
My dream stay would be the luxurious Langham Hotel, i have always wanted to experience the amazing luxury of their 5 star rooms 🙂
My dream hotel escape…..
Anywhere that I can sleep for one whole night, have uninterrupted toilet and bath time, savour food that doesn’t resemble tomato sauce or pasta, finish a hot drink, have conversations with my husband that aren’t interspersed with ‘mum where is…’ and marvel at the crazy world that is parenting!
Crown Towers, being waited on hand and foot, utterly pampered. A deluded escape from reality, landing in the lap of child free luxury!!!
The Langham, for an indulgent stay and the decadent dining experience that goes with it. But I’d like it to last a month of Sundays too!!
The Langham Hotel Melbourne is my favourite. I would love to have the luxury experience in this hotel and to feel like a queen for a day!
My dream weekend escape to Melbourne would involve The Langham, a magnum of Verve and a visit to Melbourne’s finest restaurants and shops!
I would begin my getaway by surprising hubby, having already organised his day off work!!
Have someone drive us in to Crown (as they have great spa packages) and check in.
Get cosy in the dressing gowns provided, pop on down to the pool for a swim and massage.
RELAX, have romantic dinner in the room, cuddle up and spend time with each other.
Wake up feeling refreshed and ready to return to our beautiful two children!!
A nice sleep in with no kiddies to awaken me, breakfast in bed with no dishes to wash! A day that stays still for me, to enjoy everything put in front of me!
Clubbing used to mean staying up all night in heels, makeup, and dancing til dawn. Hotel Club offers a different kind of celebration: a peaceful bath, delicious meal, quiet, candlelight, a sleep in and clean fresh sheets. Should I invite my husband too or have the ultimate night alone!?
Just some time out for me, no rushing here or there, a lovely view and a walk along the yarra river for a brunch!
My favourite place would be somewhere classy, elegant and have a cocktail bar in close range! Oh and don’t forget the spa bath 🙂
Going to Melbourne for a nice weekend of 5 star dining and accommodation! And I can sleep in and not make my bed in the morning!
Dream Melbourne escape would involve me hitting up some shops, catching a drink with a few special OMG mummy’s then finishing it off with a cozy sleep in a king size bed that’s all for me!
Mumma, I did a wee in my pants!
Mumma, I want a cookie!
Mumma, its not fair!
Mumma, I’m hungry!
Mumma, I dont like it!!!!
Mumma, are we there yet?
Mumma, it wasnt meeeeee!!!
Mumma, I vomited in your bed!!!!!!
In my dream hotel escape I would not hear a single ‘Mumma plea’ from my darling children.
A classic Melbourne hotel like the Windsor, a lovely relaxed dinner, and a night at the theatre. A bit of a “New York” type weekend in my favorite city. Who needs the long plane ride?
My dream hotel escape is just a clean comfortable bed being able to do as I please and having a beautiful breakfast cooked for me in the morning. Thank you
A chance to escape from the Reality of Bills, Bills and more bills. To unwind, relax and to sleep blissfully uninterrupted, to detox in a Spa Bath, with the Person I love, whilst indulging in Seafood and Wine.
My dream hotel is one with lots of bubbly, a spa bath, a king size bed and in the heart of Melbourne. Having survived Breast Cancer I owe it to myself to indulge in a luxury hotel room, even if its for just one night.
My dream escape would be hiding out in the cosy laneways of Melbourne, sipping cocktails in a hideaway bar away from any kids lol!
My perfect weekend escape would be in a nice hotel in the Southbank area of Melbourne so hubby and I could celebrate our anniversary on our own and remember what it was like in the beginning.
Thank you for this chance, would be great to go and visit my daughter
who is needing her mother now(she is 22).
My dream is to go and spend some well needed mother and daughter time as my daughter has been through a lot and it would be great for her and i to get together.
ROOM SERVICE!!!!
Greet me in the foyer with champagne.
Take me immediately for a full body massage
The likes of which I’ll never have again
Feed me lobster and caramel cheesecake!
Oh the thought … do such dreams come true?
Will love to stay in 5 star hotel, comfortable bed with a great city view. Buffet yummy breakfast next morning!!
Take the mrs away for the weekend 😉
My husband is in the Military and he spends a lot of time deployed away from home. It’s hard being apart and sometimes it’s hard to maintain our connection. My dream Melbourne escape would be one that lets us find that connection and romance again!
My dream night would be a nice glamorous 5 star hotel, big king size comfy bed with lots of pillows, city views, room service, nice big bath, massage, lots of spoiling & most importantly NO KIDS! 🙂
Am [day] dreaming about a night away for the husband and I after a horrible week of gastro passed through our house…!
My dream melbourne escape will be one that allows us to relax without our son. Just us being able to lounge around the hotel or it’ll be even nicer if there’s a beach nearby!
‘Plush’ and ‘luxury’ combine,
The two sound so devine,
A room with a view,
But secluded for two,
With chocolates, wine and spa bath buddles to unwind!
It would be great ! I wish I have the money in the world to pamper myself from time to time.
It’s gotta be somewhere with a five star restaurant!
Somewhere l can relax, have a lovely dinner. Go to the theatre, have a few drinks. Wake to a full continental buffet breakfast, some shopping lunch at a lovely Docklands restaurant sitting watching the water, knowing my adult special needs son is taken care of. Sounds great to me.
Room Service and a Sleep In would be heaven to me right now! Desperate for a night away from my kids (as much as I love them!).
A night away without the kids, enjoying all Melbourne has to offer, fabulous food and entertainment and a nightlife I haven’t seen in quite a while. Staying right in the city for an uninterrupted child free sleep. Bliss 🙂
5 star, free wi fi, walking distance to China Town so we can have a few drinks with dinner and stumble back to bed
I would love to win this hotelclub voucher & have a shopping trip in Melbourne
My dream hotel escape would be the Novotel in Glen Waverley because:
1. Not far from where I live
2. Novotel has a good reputation
3. A good rest will help me get through IVF treatment to have a baby with a clear mind.
My dream escape would be luxury from start to finish with a brilliant in hotel restaurant for dinner, a day spa, a spa in the room AND the best Champagne high tea in Melbourne!
HELP! I’m a prisoner in my own home
My sense of duty’s overblown
Ain’t had a night out in 4 years
Babe sleeps through now allaying my fears
Babysitting grandparents, keen as mustard
Now to focus on my marriage before its busted!
One night without the kids waking us up at the crack of dawn would just be absolute bliss!
Without even the smallest doubt there would be clothes, shoes and accessory shopping in as many of the wonderful boutiques in Melbourne as possible. Then room service (yay no cooking) and a massage, followed by hot sex with my husband which hardly ever happens at home due to children!
Way overdue.
Dream getaway luxurious massage tickets to King Kong shopping wonderful food.Thankyou for this competition
We would explore Melbourne’s laneways and drink our weight in coffee!
Crown for it’s class,
Relaxing together is a task!
Always with busy deadlines,
To enjoy luxury together would be divine.
A luxury and romantic room with a big bed & a spa so my husband and I can spend time together. It’s our 16th anniversary of being together and 10th year of being married in November and we’ve never stayed in a hotel room by ourselves since we were married.
Restaurants and shopping – what more does a girl need?
I arrive at the Langham, my car door opens, I look up…. It’s Channing Tatum smiling. George Clooney assists with my bags and Beyoncé’s there to greet me. In my hotel room Chris Hemsworth is running me a bath and Morgan Freeman is there to tell me stories all night!
The Langham Hotel Melbourne,
Is calling out “Kylieeeee”,
Sauna and pool sound like LUXURY,
and so much close by to see!
Art, shopping and sightseeing,
sounds fabulous to me,
so does a relaxing massage,
and a whole bed – OMG!
I would love to win this prize so I could give my parents a lovely night away in one of melbournes plushest hotels. A beautiful thank you gift for everything they have done for our immediate and extended family.
I have heard of some really awesome hotels here in Melbourne. One is called ‘the Olsen’. I think it would be great to have a break away from my little rugrat, as much as I adore him!
Langham Hotel Melbourne would be a brilliant place to stay.. I’d love to have a ‘full buffet brekkie’ with my favourite bloke and go out to a show!
Somewhere well situated to use as a base while exploring our beautiful city. Melbourne’s so diverse, I love there’s always something new to discover!
They’d have an inhouse laundry service,
Where they wash, iron and fold.
I’d love to give them my family washing,
So tempted – but not that bold!
Ironed sheets, crisp and clean,
The sort conducive to counting sheep.
Cos that’s my ultimate “dream”,
To fall asleep for an entire week!
cloud mattresses,
soothing my stresses,
a quiet bubble bath,
to wash away my wrath,
years of hair-pulling and pranks,
deeds that get no thanks,
finally some needed time-out,
and relief for my break-drought!
My dream Melbourne break would be somewhere green or coastal full of nature and somewhere for hubby and I to rest and focus on us!
I would love to go back & stay at Crown Metropol ! being a huge Offspring fan, I would love to stay where some the most emotional scenes were filmed 🙂
A place where it can be just me, No kids, No nagging ex and awesum dinner and spa to help with the relaxation
i would love a chance to go out for one night i am 22 years old turning 23 and i have 4 kids under the age of 5 i have never gone out or had a break ever since i became a young mum and to be able to get and enjoy a weekend with a friend or 2 i would be so refresh to come home again and be a super happy mum and it would make up for all the big birthday i miss like my 18th and my 21st so i would love to see the gorgeous view of Melbourne and have a few drinks and relax and that would be my dream to be able to relax and enjoy a weekend to my self with a few friends 🙂 🙂
oh yeah and not to forget would be awesome getting a full night sleep and to sleep in something i haven’t done since i was a little girl
My dream melbourne getaway would have to be somewhere on southbank! It would also have to be a spa room. Ahhh the bliss, I can imagine it now!
Just one night away from my daughters so my hubby and I can reconnect. Dinner, movies, maybe a spa, and late checkout ☺
A penthouse at the Langham for two,
A cocktail (or three) with river views,
A spa, a massage, loosen, relax,
And the only thing more certain than death and tax,
Come hell or high water, while I’m the Queen,
Room service with no dishes to clean!
(I subscribed to your newsletter earlier, however I haven’t received a confirmation email about it yet, not sure what’s going on there. Hope that’s ok! 🙂 )
Ah, all good now – got the confirmation! 😀
As much as it would be nice to go with hubby, honestly I dream of a huge comfy bed, big tub, delicious room service, a good book and trashy tv!!!
Throw in champagne and chocolates, shopping and hairdressers and 24 hours of going to the toilet on my own!
Ahh the bliss of an empty king sized bed with fresh linen that I don’t have to wash! The joy of gourmet meals that I don’t have to prepare… And the priceless luxury of a sleep in… No kids, no hubby, just me and my sleep!!
Excited, butterflies in my tummy, feels like our first date. Driving to the city, all dressed up and feeling great. Degustation dinner at Vue de Monde, followed by some hot Salsa dancing. Then we check into the penthouse suite where the Moët starts a flowing! A girl can dream right?
