Make the most of a\u00a0staycation<\/h2>\n\n\n

Think staycations aren\u2019t for you? Think again. They\u2019re the perfect quick-trip solution for escaping the daily grind, or for catching up on lost time with the family away from the distractions of home. Get the most out of your experience with these top staycation ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n

Staycation ideas for families<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\"family<\/figure>\n

A holiday rental is the perfect place for catching up with the kids, reconnecting as a family, and spending quality time making memories together. No family is the same, which is why you\u2019ll find holiday homes as unique and diverse as you are, from cabins and treehouses, to farm-stays, beach houses and beyond, so seek out a holiday rental that suits your style. A holiday home is the perfect place to keep the whole family entertained. Bring everyone together for a movie night, pizza-making contest, board-game bonanza, or family talent show, for an unforgettable family stay.<\/p>\n\n\n

Romantic<\/a> staycation ideas<\/h3>\n\n\n

Is there anything more romantic than bunking up with your loved one away from the world? Head to a private secluded space surrounded by stunning scenery and little else, for a romantic getaway like no other. Enjoy romantic dinners, movie marathons, and in-home spa treatments, from the cozy comfort of your home from home.<\/p>\n\n\n

Solo<\/a> staycations<\/h3>\n\n\n

Need some me time? Forget about the day-to-day and retreat to the sanctuary of a solo staycation. Find a little headspace to begin writing that book, starting that new business venture, or meditating your way to great mental health. Or simply lounge the day away in your pyjamas, glass of wine in hand, while binge-watch your favorite boxset \u2014 we won\u2019t judge! You\u2019ll find plenty of one-person holiday homes, many with soul-soothing hot tubs, cozy fireplaces, or stunning views \u2014 bliss!<\/p>\n\n\n

Things to do<\/a>\u00a0on a staycation<\/h2>\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for activities to keep the kids entertained or want to cozy up at a couples\u2019 retreat, there’s a lot to do on a staycation to make it a memorable experience. Take a look at some of the fun and affordable possibilities to make the most of your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n

Host a\u00a0cooking session<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\"group<\/figure>\n

If one of your favourite things to do in a new city is to try out the local cuisine, turn your staycation into a culinary adventure. Seek out fresh local produce, tap up the locals or search online for regional recipes, and be brave experimenting with ingredients you’ve never used before. Holiday rentals often come with a full kitchen stocked with all the appliances, cookware, dinnerware, and utensils you\u2019ll need to cook up a feast for the family, and it\u2019s a great way to involve everyone from the grandparents to the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n

Enjoy a\u00a0spa day<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n

Holidays are all about relaxation, so why not pamper yourself and your family on your staycation retreat. The best bit? You don\u2019t even need to leave the house. Arrange for local beauty therapists to visit you in your holiday home for everything from massages to manicures the whole family can enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n

Camp in the backyard<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n

Enjoy all the excitement of a camping trip without compromising on those all-important creature comforts. Stargazing and spooky ghost stories around the fire pit are much more fun when you can slip into a hot bath and comfy sheets come bedtime back in the warmth of your holiday home.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
