Whether you’re a busy mum needing a break, or just craving quality time with your girlfriends, Lismore is a great destination for a getaway. Think quality affordable accommodation,
spa days, laughs, art, wine, and creative fun — all wrapped up in a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere.
Here’s our guide to the ultimate Girls’ Weekend in Lismore:
Start with Self-Care
Your weekend begins the way all good weekends should — relaxed and recharged. Head to Bathe Spa Lismore and unwind with a thermal mineral soak, a cold plunge, and a detoxifying sauna session. It’s the perfect way to hit pause, release tension, and catch up with your crew in a soothing, boutique spa setting. Massages available too. Why not combine a massage with a bathhouse experience for only $140!
Or participate in a Cacao Ceremony and Sound Journey Meditation, with classes held monthly in both Nimbin and Lismore or book a private session tailored for your girls’ group.
Unleash your inner artist
Lismore has long been known as the creative hub of the Northern Rivers. It’s a great place to see and enjoy art. The Lismore Regional Gallery is one of the longest running cultural institutions in the region, hosts regular workshops, exhibitions and events! But if you want to truly unwind, clear your mind and have some fun, book a creative workshop.
Check out The Artisans Table and Silt Studio —both offer relaxed and social workshops like Watercolour & Wine, where you can paint, sip and laugh your way through an unforgettable afternoon. Silt Studio offers clay classes, perfect for getting your hands dirty and creating something truly unique.
Wine, Dine & Discover
Lismore’s food and drink scene is buzzing with flavour and personality. Think boutique wine bars like The Levee Lounge and Bar that are perfect for catching up over a delicious cocktail and cheese board. For delicious dinners with atmosphere and city vibe, try 187 Cantina, Ma Ma Moi’s and Uncle Lim Asian Fusion.
