Luxurious couples escapes in the Riverland, South Australia

The science has spoken: a holiday improves your life

Everyone needs a break sometimes, yet many leave their vacation time unused. It's important, physically and psychologically, to take a break from the job, your daily routine, and the demands of life in order to keep your stress levels in check.

When you take a break, you're not 'avoiding responsibility'. You're taking care of yourself so that you'll have the stamina and resilience to be your best. Watch for the signs that you need a break, and schedule some downtime to help you feel refreshed and restored.

Vacations and getaways, where you get some space from the demands of life, can bring many rewards:

  • Reduced stress: Obviously you feel less stress when you're not in a stressful environment. But taking a break brings more than that. A short time away interrupts the cycle of stress that can lead to being overwhelmed.
  • Rest: Break out of the cycle of chronic stress and restore yourself physically and mentally to a healthier place.
  • Clearer thinking: Ongoing stress can lead to decreased creativity, memory problems, and other related issues. A short holiday or quick getaway can lead to sharper thinking and increased creativity in all areas of your life.
  • Increased productivity: All of these things can make you better at your job, more present in your personal relationships, more energetic and engaged, and more able to enjoy life.

A quick break or a longer, more luxurious escape?

When it comes to taking time off, you can go for a long and luxurious break, a relaxing and simple one, or something short and sweet.

The key to a restful vacation is to prioritise rest and fun. Disconnect from the world. Don't bring work with you. Your aim is to spend time in a positive and enjoyable space. Don't overthink it, and don't over-plan. Be spontaneous. This can be a vacation but it can also be a playcation.

Slow down and to take in the moment. Enjoy the environment, the views, and the silence. An extended break from reality helps you to reset, allowing you to re-engage with yourself and your partner and to rediscover what is truly important in life.

Want to re-ignite that spark in your relationship? The work grind and raising kids don’t always go hand in hand with romance and it can become an effort for couples to keep the wonder alive.

A weekend away from the kids is a luxury but also a necessity. Come an experience our luxury romantic accommodation for a quick mid-week stay, a sexy weekend away, or a week-long holiday in blissful relaxation.

Our private and secluded, self-contained accommodation, set on land overlooking the Murray River, will embrace you both as you relax in quiet comfort.
