Our Long-Awaited Escape
Sarah, 35, Germany
As a single mother juggling work and raising my little one, finding time to travel felt like an impossible dream. So, when I finally carved out a few days off, I wanted to make every moment count. With Trevelup’s thoughtful recommendations, I set off to Perth with my 8-year-old, nervous yet excited to make up for lost time together. Would my child enjoy the trip? Would I finally feel like the mom I wanted to be for him? These questions ran through my mind as we boarded the plane.
Our adventure started at Margaret River, a lush and tranquil escape. I’d worried that a wine region might not be very kid-friendly, but Trevelup knew better. We explored the Margaret River Chocolate Factory and feasted on decadent treats—watching my son’s face light up over a gooey chocolate fondue felt like pure magic. The scenic drives and pristine beaches gave us a rare chance to slow down and reconnect.
Next up was Rottnest Island, and let me just say—quokkas are even cuter in person! Cycling around the island with my son in tow was both fun and exhausting, but his laughter as we spotted wildlife along the way made every pedal worthwhile. We even managed to snap a cheeky quokka selfie, a memory I’ll treasure forever.
Swan Valley, though beautiful, was our least favorite, only because it felt a bit rushed. We tried a mix of family-friendly wineries and farms, but by the afternoon, my son was restless, and I was juggling activities to keep him entertained. Still, the fresh air and a quick stop for honey ice cream kept the day from feeling like a complete miss.
This trip wasn’t just about the places we visited; it was about reclaiming time with my son. From watching sunsets together to sharing quiet moments on the beach, Perth gave us the space to rediscover what we’d missed in the chaos of everyday life. I may not get days like this often, but this trip reminded me how important they are
