Weekend Getaways Worth Escaping To
Some places are made for switching off.
The kind of places where mornings feel slower, phones stay untouched a little longer, and your only real plan is deciding where to have your next coffee.
At ARGO, we believe the best weekends start with a packed bag and somewhere worth driving to. Whether you’re craving coastal air, countryside quiet or a little luxury close to home, here are a few weekend escapes worth getting away for.
Bowral: The Countryside Reset
Just a couple of hours from Sydney, Bowral feels like stepping into slower living.
Think:
- boutique stays
- antique stores
- wineries
- fireplaces
- long lunches
- oversized knits and cold mornings
It’s the perfect destination for a cosy overnight trip when you want to properly switch off for the weekend.
Pack:
- relaxed layers
- a good coat
- skincare
- books
- comfortable essentials
