With so many cute little towns to stay in, you can easily rent a whole house to fit everyone in. Then for fun invite The High Tea Mistress who brings the full high tea packages anywhere in Victoria.<\/span><\/p>\n Or stay at Balgownie Estate Vineyard Resort and Spa<\/a> for the ideal mix of wine, fun, and pampering.<\/span><\/p>\n The Bellarine Peninsula has some lovely hidden coastal places to stay, just a quick drive down past Geelong, or if you live in the South Eastern suburbs, start your weekend off with a trip across the bay by ferry.<\/span><\/p>\n People staying on the Bellarine have a bevy of choice, from historic hotels to modern luxury. Larger parties will find everything they need at 13<\/span>th<\/span> Beach Golf Links. More intimate hen\u2019s weekends can stay at the accommodations at Oakdene Vineyards<\/a>, for just a tiny wander home after stuffing yourself in their restaurant and with their award-winning wines.<\/span><\/p>\n For a wonderful activity idea, contact For the Love of Grape<\/a> who do limousine driven tours of local wineries; for wine tasting in style with a host who knows the area well.<\/span><\/p>\n This destination is a stunning drive through the hills to the nearby mecca of all things girl\u2019s weekend away.

Be sure to check out one of the famous vintage-style high teas while you are there. Wander the laneways late at night to find hidden bars, or in the morning to eat the famous Melbourne all-day brunches. <\/span><\/p>\n For in-house fun book Ladies Night In<\/a> to bring a pamper party to you, travelling anywhere in Melbourne, as also with teams servicing Brisbane and Sydney.<\/span><\/p>\n This is a beautiful area in the middle of the Mornington Peninsula, known for food and wine.

They can plan a boat cruise, high tea or winery tour for you of the local region, or bring some entertainment to where you are staying including cocktail making, pampering or some cheeky entertainers sure to have you giggling with delight.<\/span><\/p>\n While still a suburb of Melbourne, and not necessarily where everyone would think of first for a getaway, once you\u2019ve stayed at the Mansion Hotel and Spa <\/a>at Werribee Park you will never want to stay anywhere else again. <\/span><\/p>\n This magnificent Italianate estate has been completely restored to its former glory and will make you feel like European royalty having a mini-break. This is the sort of place you always wanted to stay but didn\u2019t have a special enough reason to splurge; well, we have found the reason!<\/span><\/p>\n With beautiful rooms, fine dining and a day spa, and lush gardens for a lazy picnic on Sunday, what more could your hens need?<\/span><\/p>\n Head East from the suburbs and find a tranquil spot in Gippsland to gather with your chickens. One lovely place to stay is the Toorongo River Chalets at Noojee<\/a>, a serene accommodation spot to use as your base while exploring the region or to just stay in, drink and gossip all weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
