Mike’s heading south and he’s feeling pretty generous!

Tourism NSW and Sydney Weekender have teamed up to offer viewers a chance to win a luxury weekend escape with all the bells and whistles!

This is no ordinary competition … oh no! This is one that has all the luxury trappings … it’s so good you’ll never want to leave!

Just consider it a mid year gift from Mike and the teams at Sydney Weekender and Tourism NSW!  

Eden
Eden is on the deep harbour of Twofold Bay and is a picturesque, quiet town which offers a wide variety of waterway, forest and mountain attractions.

Eden is rich in fishing and whaling history and remains to this day a fishing town, while whaling has now become 'whale-watching' one of the key tourist attractions in the town. You can often catch the wondrous sight of whales frolicking off Eden’s shores on their twice yearly migration.

Greencape Lighthouse
Greencape Lighthouse was the first cast concrete lighthouse tower in Australia.
It is situated in the picturesque Ben Boyd National Park on the Far South Coast of New South Wales. It was built in 1883 and at 29 meters, is the second tallest light house in NSW.

The main light has been decommissioned and replaced with a steel lattice tower on which an automated solar powered light now operates. The original tower is now a tourist attraction.

On the site stands the original keepers cottages, the old Telegraph Station and 2 semi detached cottages. The 2 semi-detached cottages have been refurbished by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and are now available for rental.

Each cottage contains a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, bathroom, master bedroom, second bedroom and family/lounge room with sofa-bed.
The minimum stay is 2 nights with a maximum of 14 nights and the rates range from $150 to $225 per unit per night.
