The chocolate high tea you can’t afford to miss
Gold-dusted chocolate frogs, fluffy chocolate and apricot scones, tartlets topped with berry chocs. Oh, and there’s a glass of Perrier-Jouët there too. It’s like Willy Wonka walked out of the movies and into the InterContinental Sydney Double Bay to deliver an array of sweet treats – and it’s the good stuff. We’re talking Haigh’s Chocolates. The Haigh’s...
Bring it on Bakedown
What do you get when a graphic animation/design whiz swaps tech life for the sweet life? Your dog’s face on a block of chocolate. Come again?

The 3 Weeds is back
Pubs in Sydney are a bit like old friends. They’re familiar, cosy and you can pick up right where you left off. And the best old friends are the ones that cook well, and invite you around for a bite to eat and a big catch up. That can certainly be said for the 3...
Hotel Kurrajong takes classic Canberra up a notch
We all know Canberra is now cool – wine bars, freak shakes, vegan juice bars and wholefood cafes have slowly transformed the small capital city into something pretty special. But what about the spots that are just absolutely classic, in all the right ways? Hotel Kurrajong Canberra fits the bill. We’re not talking about the fact...
Mosman’s new Gintastic Rose Rooftop garden – The Fernery
Cravings go together like a bottle of Rose and conversation with the girls, or a Sydney summer and a new rooftop bar. Luckily we can have both thanks to a stunning transformation on the second floor of the Mosman Club. Leave your RSL preconceptions of chintzyness at the door as you zoom up in the...
