When talking about a “favourite” weekend getaway, coupled with fabulous food, the famous Kim’s Beach Resort immediately springs to mind. It’s located little more than an hour north of Sydney, on the Central Coast of New South Wales. The tranquillity is breathtaking. The spacious, luxuriously appointed accommodation of bungalows and villas are set amongst a rainforest of Norfolk pines with the Pacific Ocean literally at your doorstep. And then there is the food...you need to be prepared to loosen the belt buckle a notch or two because the buffet every breakfast, lunch and dinner is superb. There is a speciality dish every night and, I have to confess, my favourite is the steak and kidney pie. And after dinner, you can retire to the bar for some entertainment or a quiet drink. It really is an experience I would happily recommend to anyone. I’d go there tomorrow!
