Loft Suite at Ovolo Hotel, Woolloomooloo Sydney | Staycation in Australia

Featured

While conveniently located near Sydney’s Central Business District, the Ovolo Hotel Woolloomooloo provides a tranquil waterfront experience being at the Wharf. Ovolo is a luxury boutique hotel, providing exquisite rooms and exceptional loft suites.

This property is both a heritage and modern luxury, the Woolloomooloo Wharf offers a wealth of historical features that are matched by cutting-edge features and modern design. All while relaxing in your roomy residence with a view of stunning Sydney Harbour.

It is in the ideal location because it is close to Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens and we visited the Sydney Opera House, stunning parklands and The Rocks.

Ovolo Woolloomooloo has incredible 5-star amenities like their own indoor swimming pool with poolside cabanas, meeting rooms and event spaces, bar and dining at Alibi, 24-hour gym and the most important part- it’s a Pet-friendly accommodation! I am surely taking my pet greyhound on my next Staycation with Ovolo 😊

We stayed in Ovolo’s Cityvoo Loft Suite. Their rooms are comfortable and spacious! The suite was loft style: downstairs was the living room with electric blinds accessing to Sydney City skyline views (plus a separate powder room, dining area and mini bar) and upstairs was the king size ensuite bedroom.

This awesome suite included continental breakfast, mini bar, in-room snacks, wifi, daily social hour, national calls, indoor pool, gym, self-laundry and all this was FREE!! They also have unlimited free candy cart at the property. This was my first experience where the suite had a Yoga Mat for guests to takeaway to their homes! They surely know how to pamper their guests.

Since it was my Mother’s Birthday, they surprised us with complementary Champagne and Cake. Could not have chosen a place to celebrate than Ovolo Hotels 😊 Their room service was speedy and spot on! Also devoured the complementary breakfast at Alibi, it is a vegan restaurant and has wide range of options. Also, their Vegan Cheeseburger tastes like the real cheeseburger, Yumm!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my Staycation with Ovolo Hotel and looking forward for more of these in future 😊

International Yoga Day 2023

Featured

I always thought Yoga is another fancy word in the world of fitness which made me quite skeptical if Yoga will be of any advantage to me but since it was being promoted on a regular basis, it increased my curiosity to atleast try one session of Yoga. I am glad I did that since I felt refreshed.

Over the years, Yoga has helped my body in gaining flexibility, building strength, being stress-free, energetic and remain fit. Thereafter, I also tried Aerial Yoga which demanded greater control over body. It increases full-body flexibility and strength. The hammock itself allows you to go deeper into the stretches and poses, further enhancing full-body flexibility #AerialYoga. This might look easy but was very difficult.

Realizing all the benefits, I encouraged my Mom also to start practicing Yoga. This International Yoga Day, I would like every individual to attend Yoga sessions and practice the same.

Battered and fried foods are amongst the worst sources of food filled with unhealthy trans fats. The same is with unhealthy fried dough products. These might taste good, but have unhealthy cholesterol and increases body inflammation.

  • Hot Dogs and Meat Burgers

Again it’s the processed and salty option to be blamed. Salami and ham are another bad options that should be strictly avoided.

  • Ice cones

These might help cool down for the moment, but are nothing apart from syrups made up of high fructose corn syrups and sweetened with sugar. Moreover, you never know the quality of water been used to make the ice.

  • Corn Cobs

These are not only bad for your gums, but are also high on carbs and calories. These have no vitamins, irons or other vital minerals and nutrients.

  • Watermelon with seeds

Watermelon is must to have food in summer, but not with its seeds. There is nothing to worry as the seeds of watermelon are not toxic or dangerous, but still it can cause discomfort or bloating.
