Summer in the city is all fun until the concrete begins radiating furnace temperatures. Our solution? Rural South Australia. Broadsheet’s giving away a $2500 weekend at Nest & Nature, a luxe property on the Fleurieu Peninsula. We’ll throw in a $500 flight voucher and complimentary wine-tasting, too. Here’s what your weekend could look like.
Rise and shine. Resident black cockatoos are your only alarm clock at Nest & Nature. The luxe stay sits in native bushland, and floor-to-ceiling windows reveal sprawling views to the sea, even from bed. Take your coffee outdoors and wander through 240 acres of rolling greenery.
Peckish? Grab a bite at Kuti Shack. Kuti is the local Indigenous name for pippies, and they might come paired with XO sauce and crusty dunking bread. Next, head to Deep Creek for more time in nature. It’s home to the largest mass of untouched wilderness in the region, with 15 trails on offer for walkers of all abilities.
Head home to Nest & Nature for nibbles and a spruce. The bathroom is fitted with Aesop products, and the pantry is stocked with local cheese and wine. There’s a bottle of Mosquito Hill bubbles calling your name.
Later, enjoy your complimentary wine-tasting at Yangarra Estate, a single-vineyard property committed to regenerative farming. For dinner, head to The Kitchen at Bec Hardy. Here, seasonal produce is sourced from the estate’s garden.
Back at your stay, wind down with a T2 tea by the terraced firepit, or hop on stepping stones to the supreme outdoor tub. The sun’s likely tucked under the horizon, revealing a stargazer's paradise. Light pollution, who?
