If major life moments warrant major celebrations or milestone holidays (destination weddings we’re talking about you), then surely minor successes, overcoming little hurdles and daily wins deserve a mini break or a short escape?



Oaks Glenelg Plaza Pier Suites

Oaks has come up with 10 excuses to book yourself – and your nearest and dearest – with a weekend away:

    You’ve got a sport-free weekend (whether that’s because you won the soccer grand final last week, or because you’re at the bottom of the ladder and don’t need to show up)

    You got the kids fed, dressed and to school on time every day for a week (well close enough, Mondays don’t count)

    You finished bingeing that box set you’ve been working through (and need a couple of days off before you get stuck into the next one)   

    You ticked off more than three things on your To Do List (whether or not you actually did them)

    You cleaned out the fridge (in which case you deserve more than a weekend away)

    You managed to bluff your way through a whole night of primary school maths homework

    You volunteered to host your in-laws for Christmas (and need a holiday to mentally prepare)

    Your electricity bill arrived (and a staycation is way cheaper)

    Your kids didn’t argue in the car today (so what if you had headphones on)

    You went to the gym three times in a week (it’s nobody’s business whether or not you left the car park)

Plus, to get the best value out of your good news getaway, why not add a grocery hamper packed with breakfast favourites, movie night treats or pantry snacks so you don’t have to hit the supermarket – or put up with hungry, whingeing kids as soon as you arrive – now that’s a little treat.

Oaks Hotels also provide coffee machines and quality pods from The Coffee Club in every room so there’s no need to skip your morning caffeine hit or spend your hard-earned holiday cash at the café down the road.

In-room Foxtel channels and curated menus from recommended local restaurants via Menulog are also on hand to ensure your mini break is as easy and breezy as possible.
