But it\u2019s the often overlooked neighbourhood options that can provide a thrilling sense of treasure hunting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/3761\/surry-hills\">Surry Hills<\/a> is one tranquil, tree-lined area studded with eclectic boutiques specialising in everything from polished brogues to amber glass jam jars. On Oxford Street, running from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/17436\/darlinghurst\">Darlinghurst<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/20032\/paddington\">Paddington<\/a>, you\u2019ll find designer flagship stores alongside high street chains and pint-sized boutiques.

This is South Australia\u2019s oldest wine region, and some of its vineyards can be traced back to German settlers. In addition to hopping from town to town to admire the stone cottages and charming pubs, discerning oenophiles will want to stop at the cellar doors of such award winners as Shaw &#038; Smith, Nepenthe, and Bird in Hand, all of which offer tasting options. Accommodations are plentiful in the towns of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/11054\/hahndorf\">Hahndorf<\/a> and Lobethal.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\rSoak at a Mineral Spring in <a name=\"Daylesford\">Daylesford<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Nothing says girls weekend quite like a spa retreat, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/26483\/daylesford-vic-australia\">Daylesford<\/a> is known as the spa centre of Victoria.

Garden-flanked landmarks like the Royal Exhibition now contrast with the trippy fa\u00e7ade of the new RMIT University building, creating a sidewalk streetscape that\u2019s worth gawking at. Soak in the architecture evolution in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/614\/greater-melbourne\">Melbourne<\/a> with your friends, then spend the evening as the locals do: enjoying live music (from black metal in pubs to indie rock at swanky locales, Melburnians take their music seriously).
