Down a quiet, bamboo-covered lane in Mullumbimby is the sanctuary we dream of. Spas, plunge pools and sauna abound, a trip to Kiva Spa should be on everyone's lists.
Rosetta, where do we start. A deli focaccia for lunch, an afternoon gelato or a hearty bowl of fettuccine with cacio e pepe and truffle butter, this place quite literally has it all. Oh, and you must try the signature La Coppa della Nonna, whether it be morning, day or night.
Proving that you don't just find a good, draught pint in the UK, is The Middle Pub. Musical bingo on a Wednesday, Thursday trivia, "Krappyyokee" Fridays and a Sunday jam: there's no such thing as a dull moment.
Rustling up homestyle pizzas for all ages, Ottilies is just what you'd want your neighbourhood resto to be like. Get it to go, or nab a table inside to truly soak up the vibes. The fennel and radicchio salad is a must to go alongside any of the numerous topping-filled pizzas.
A cold plunge is having its moment, and a trip to The Banya proves why. With its wood-fired sauna, steam room, two mineral pools and a cold plunge there's no better way to kickfire your morning. Treat yourself to a massage, or at the least a bite to eat at the in-house resto.
