The best breaks aren’t necessarily the longest ones. What really makes a holiday unforgettable is the sense of escaping the everyday in a place that has a charm all of its own. These one-of-a-kind stays, perfect for couples, are guaranteed to linger longer in your memories.

Peek behind the facades of Australia’s largest collection of Georgian sandstone buildings, and you’ll find that what’s old is new in Oatlands, with the Midlands town now home to a large distillery, a cosy wine bar and one of Tassie’s most curious stores, writes Andrew Bain.
