The Best Luxury 'Babymoon' Destinations In New South Wales For A Relaxing Pre-Baby Getaway

For anyone expecting a child in 2020 or 2021, we have to tip our hats off to you. 

Not only is pregnancy physically exhausting, but it can take a serious toll on us emotionally, too. 

Which is why it's becoming more and more common for couples to carve out time for a little escape, prior baby's arrival. 

A 'babymoon' as it's called, can make the world of a difference, allowing for some R&R and quality bonding time with your partner before the next chapter of your lives.

But with travel feeling like a very far-off concept right now, it can feel like a burdensome task to try and book the trip.

So, to make things a little easier, we've rounded up all the best getaway spots in New South Wales that offer specialised babymoon packages, so you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy some fine-dining and spa treatments. 

Bannisters, Mollymook

Bannisters Mollymook babymoon

One of the most underrated holiday destinations, Mollymook is a haven for those looking to slow down the pace and indulge a little. 

Whether you're unwinding on your balcony and soaking up the breathtaking views, taking a dip in the plunge pool, or even going for a stroll down the surrounding beaches, there's not a moment to be wasted at Bannister's. There's also a rooftop pavilion bar with a pool, if you're in the sociable mood.

And for the pregnant foodies, this destination will have you in utter bliss. Chef Rick Stein's menu consists of the freshest seafood and local produce to keep you and your little one well satisfied. 

Oh, and did we mention their day spa also has a special pre-natal massage on the menu? We highly recommend.
