Whether you’re ready for a break right now or already looking for an escape next year, getting away doesn't have to blow the budget. Sometimes, all that’s needed is a little space, a little quiet, and a lot of savings.

Free breakfast in the Hunter Valley

Rolling vineyards, award-winning cellar doors, and long country lunches. The Hunter Valley has all the ingredients for a relaxing escape, and it's only a couple of hours from Sydney.

My NRMA Rewards members can unlock extra value at Rydges Resort Hunter Valley, with complimentary breakfast included on selected stays. Start your day with a delicious meal before heading out to explore world-class wineries, browse local markets, or simply relax by the pool.

You’ll always save up to 5% on stays and get up to 25% with limited time offers.

High tea and high tides at QT

For a staycation that blends beachside relaxation with a touch of luxury, QT Bondi is hard to beat. Just steps from one of Australia's most iconic stretches of sand, it's the perfect base for long coastal walks and ocean swims.

With Bondi's cafés, bars and boutiques right on your doorstep, you'll feel worlds away from everyday life without needing to leave the city.

With a number of QT Hotels around Australia and New Zealand specialising in quirky culture and artistic architecture, members can turn a weekend away into something special and enjoy discounts on every stay.

Resort vibes in the heart of the city

Whether you're coming into the city or choose to stay in town, you can find oases even in the densest of places. Nestled in the vibrant Chippendale precinct, The Old Clare Hotel delivers boutique luxury, heritage charm, and rooftop-pool relaxation right in the heart of Sydney.

Through My NRMA Rewards, members can access exclusive accommodation savings and special offers, making an overnight city escape even more rewarding. Spend the afternoon exploring nearby galleries, dining at acclaimed restaurants, or unwinding poolside with a good book before retreating to one of the hotel's stylish rooms.

Plus, no matter where you are, check out all the savings in your My NRMA app that can turn a quick trip into an unforgettable trip - like experiences, dining rewards, and even cashback in store on a shopping spree.
