Family & Friends Mini Moon

We would love you to join us for a group holiday down the coast! We are currently looking into booking a large airbnb in order to host as many of you as possible! More details to come.


Area TBC but will be south east - Jan 10th/11th-15th.


We thought this would be the best way to soak up every second with you special angels travelling over from the UK.

There will be winery days / pool days and other special events.


We will send through more details should you want to come along.


Australian Open

Melbourne - Jan 19th - Feb 1st

Places to stay in Melbourne

Please join us whenever, and stay for as long as you like! We are off work and will have lots of fun things planned. Don't feel like you need to do everything we have planned, we know people will be popping in and out over the period.


Here is a rough guide to accomodation during Dec/Jan.


We recommend looking on Airbnb as there are so many beautiful airbnbs in Melbourne for really good prices.


December - Jan 7th, Carnegie

We live in Carnegie - great food, and swimming pool! However we recommend staying in Elsternwick/Brighton/Elwood areas. They are about a 10 minute drive from us, all with good transport options too.


Sandringham and Hampton are also lovely beachside areas that are not too far from us.


Jan 8th-10th, Eltham

We will be staying in Eltham/at Yarra Valley Lodge for the wedding.


Jan 10th-Jan 15th, Sorrento

We will be staying down the coast in Sorrento and really hope you can all join us for a mini holiday! Airbnb has loads of amazing places to stay down there, you will only need a place to sleep as we would love to host you every day,


Jan 16th-Jan 30th, Carnegie

Things might change but for now we think we will be back in Carnegie for these weeks, enjoying time with you guys, and the tennis!


If you are wanting to make the most of the tennis, we recommend staying in Richmond. Its a 15 minute train ride from us!
