Best Hen Party Destinations in Australia

Check out our list of top rated places to go on a hen do in Australia and ideas for things to do for the ultimate experience you will never forget.

1. Melbourne

There’s no way we could ever write a top hen party destination article and not include Melbourne.

Hen parties in Melbourne tend to be loads of fun, and filled with so many possibilities you wouldn’t even have enough time to do them all in a single weekend. Go shopping, soak up the culture, or drink your nights away at one of the many bars this city has to offer. Have amazing food, go dancing, learn how to make cocktails and enjoy live performances. 

If you’re a street art lover, you’ll be happy to learn that the city council designated some specific locations for street artists, enabling them to create mind blowing art that changes regularly, so there will pretty much always be something new for you to see. 

For a trip to Italy right within Australia, go to the Lygon Street Italian Precinct, which offers some amazing world-class Italian dining, complete with Italian stores and produce. 

2. Sydney

Another great option, Sydney may just have everything you need for an unforgettable hen party. Choose a rooftop pool bar for some amazing glam, or go bar-hoping to experience different venues. During the day, you can relax on one of the beaches around Sydney, or pick another great city activity (such as exploring the surroundings). 

If you’ve always wanted to experience being in a hot air balloon, floating above everything, Sydney will offer you the chance to smile. You’ll get to see the sunrise over the Camden Valley and have that memorable moment you’ve been dreaming of. If, on the other hand, you’d like to experience the world above in a different way, consider going on one of Sydney’s HeliTours. The cabin of the helicopter is almost entirely glass, allowing everyone to get the best view possible right from their seats.

3. Hunter Valley

If you want a relaxing weekend, spend it in a horse drawn carriage visiting wonderful vineyards and cellars. For that, Hunter Valley is the best choice, giving you the chance to taste the most amazing boutique wines. After a full day of exploring, head back to the cabin where you can enjoy some amazing massages or spa treatments. 

4. Daylesford

Not far from Melbourne, this little sweet town has pretty much everything you can hope for. It was created around natural hot springs, making it the perfect location for future brides looking to get pampered and forget about everything that’s been stressing them. There are also some amazing regional restaurants, second-hand markets, for the vintage lover, as well as art galleries that deliver an enriching visual experience.
