Mindful Miles: A Girl’s Getaway (4-Day Itinerary)

Because the best moments are shared, over long lunches, riverside rides, gentle paddles and a little pampering.

Escape to Sun Country and North of the Murray for a girls’ getaway that feels equal parts restorative and indulgent. Think slow mornings, fresh country air, time on the water and plenty of space to reconnect. No schedules, no rushing – just good company and even better moments.

Day 1: Arrive, Ride & Unwind

Base yourselves in Yarrawonga Mulwala, where lakeside stays and boutique accommodation set the tone for a relaxed escape.

Start your getaway on two wheels, exploring the Murray River and Lake Mulwala shared paths. Ride beneath towering red gums, follow the water’s edge and stop often to take it all in.

When it’s time to refuel, settle in for a long lunch at a local café, bakery or pub. Expect hearty classics, seasonal flavours and warm country hospitality.

As the afternoon rolls on, step aboard a Lake Mulwala cruise. Watch the sky shift to soft pinks and golds as you sip local wine and unwind into holiday mode.

End the day with a relaxed dinner – seasonal dishes, shared plates and no need to rush.

Day 2: Pamper, Feast & Explore

Ease into the day with a sleep-in and a leisurely breakfast.

Then it’s time to truly unwind. Book a massage or facial at a local spa and enjoy a slower pace for a few hours. It’s the kind of reset you didn’t realise you needed.

Spend the afternoon exploring Yarrawonga’s boutiques, providores and galleries. Pick up local produce, handmade goods or a few thoughtful pieces to take home.

As the sun begins to set, wander along the Yarrawonga Foreshore before settling in for a casual dinner or shared platter. Expect plenty of laughs and that easy feeling of having nowhere else to be.

Day 3: Pedal, Paddle & Pilates

Start slow, then ease into a morning of movement.

Head to Quinns Island in Cobram for a scenic ride along quiet riverside tracks. It’s peaceful, unhurried and the perfect way to soak up the natural beauty of the Murray.

Swap bikes for water and take to the river. Whether kayaking, canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding, the calm stretches of the Murray invite you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.

In the afternoon, reset with a Pilates session focused on strength, balance and flexibility – leaving you feeling refreshed and re-energised.

For a deeper connection to place, consider a cultural experience with Bullanginya Dreaming and learn more about the stories and significance of Yorta Yorta Country.

Day 4: River Calm & Farewell Flavours

Enjoy a slow final morning by the river.

Start with a gentle yoga or Pilates session, stretching and breathing as the water flows quietly past – the perfect way to reset before heading home.
