Where to take Mum this Mother's Day

Mother's Day
Mother's Day

With Mother's Day just around the corner, it's time to lock in plans and celebrate all that our Mum's do for us. So, if you don't want to give Mum the same old choccies and flowers this year, we're here to save the day with some last minute ideas. What's more, if you or Mum are NRMA Members, you can get this all at a discount.

1. Dine alfresco with water views

What Mum doesn't enjoy dining with a view? And what better way to enjoy Mother's Day than at Nick's Seafood Restaurant overlooking the shores of Cockle Bay Wharf and Darling Harbour. Treat mum to a magical experience at Nick's and take a seat in the elegant dining room or on the harbour front alfresco deck to enjoy a three course seafood feast or the amazing Shared Seafood platter. The commanding views of the harbour are the perfect complement to the stunning meals you'll be served.

2. Graze at the top

Who said you needed to stay local to celebrate Mother's Day? Why not embark on a little road trip to the Blue Mountains at The Lookout, Echo Point. Overlooking the breathtaking valley of the Blue Mountains, Restaurant 1128 serves locally sourced produced paired with a NSW focused beer and wine list. With a wide range of plates to choose from, including hearty bruschetta, smoked beef brisket and herb-crusted salmon, Mum will be able to take in all the sights after she's made her meal selection.

3. Share a feast among greenery

Surrounded by rolling green lawns, with Sydney's famous skyline as its backdrop and offering outdoor terraces, large lawn areas and sun-drenched spaces, The Pavilion on the Domain is the perfect place to take Mum for a peaceful lunch on May 12. Choose from either a one, two or three-course meal drawn from seasonal Australian ingredients, enjoy a complimentary glass of wine and take in the beauty of the restaurant in a relaxed atmosphere.

4. Soar to new heights

There's nothing quite like watching the sun rise from 5,000ft in the air while you float above the vineyards. And if you really want to spoil Mum this Mother's Day, why not treat her to a 60-minute hot air balloon flight over the Hunter Valley. Over the course of an hour, you and Mum will soar up, up and away, witnessing one of the state's most luscious regions from an angle high above the ground. Complete the magical experience with a free glass of champagne and chocolates - it's the perfect way to kick off your Mother's Day.

5. Impress her with simplicity 

For those that are on a bit of a tighter budget - you can’t go wrong with a classic picnic. Grab your picnic basket, top it with a few of her favourite things and head out to Wendy’s Secret Garden in Lavender Bay. Relax in the garden with stunning scenery, watch the sun set over the Harbour Bridge and enjoy a few glasses of bubbly with the person who knows you best, your Mum.
