If money was no question and we didn’t have a needy dog that comes everywhere with us then I would definitely be checking into one of these places below.

You can find all of these stunning, luxurious homes around New South Wales, though as you would expect some of them, not all, do come with a price tag.

So start saving your pretty pennies, take some time and book a long weekend away. Maybe it is for a special occasion, birthday, anniversary, honeymoon… or simply treat yourself, like I like to do.

Even if you are not looking for a place to stay, do yourself a favor and just check these beautiful homes out. Medicine for your eyes - revel in their design, their style, their simplicity.

MILTON

Tawillah Milton Luxury Retreat - set on 25 acres on the NSW south coast. Experience the luxury of 5 star accommodation with views to Milton and the nearby Budawang Ranges

BATHURST

Wilga Station - only 12 minutes from Bathurst and 40 minutes from Orange. Choose to stay in the farmhouse or organise for your friends to come along and stay in the Shearers hall, all decked out with everything you need

CABARITA

Grounds of Cabarita, near Cabarita Beach with its own pool. Sleeps six

GERRINGONG

Jerrymara - A Country Estate by the Sea - tad on the pricey side but fits ten people so I guess it averages out. In beautiful Gerringong too. Five-star reviews must mean it’s good. Beautifully manicured gardens to walk amongst and pool and luxury inside

MUDGEE

River Ranch - Mudgee's Unique Rural Escape. A barn styled immaculately makes for a perfect spot to relax and remove yourself from the chaos

MOLLYMOOK

Cliff House - Absolute Waterfront - in Mollymook. Sleeps six. Pack your cossies

PORT STEPHENS

Talm Beach House - on Anna Bay in Port Stephens. Sleeps ten so call your friends and organise a weekend away. Two night minimum. I love that Talm means ‘linger’ in Afrikaans language
