The perfect burnout cure? This hidden countryside retreat is just hours from Sydney.

I never expected to admit that sleeping in a 60-year-old grain silo has been the most relaxing part of my year so far. But after burning out at the end of last year, I am actively seeking unique staycations to unwind, find balance and escape the hustle and bustle of city life more regularly.

Earlier this year, I found a little hidden gem that had just popped up in rural Junee, NSW. The Silos Accommodation has taken unique tiny home stays to a whole new level. Junee locals Nick and Amber have transformed a 60-year-old grain silo into a two-story luxury getaway. With a hot tub, outdoor fire pit and breakfast and dinner included, they have merged traditional country living with modern comfort.

When my girlfriend and I arrived for our overnight stay, we were greeted with a bottle of red wine on the kitchen bench, and a basket and fridge full of locally sourced prepared meals and snacks.

Thank goodness too, because we hadn't brought any food or drinks with us — fortunately the Silos team took care of every single detail so we didn't have to lift a finger. 

With nothing to do or worry about, we slipped right into holiday mode, cracked the bottle of wine and jumped into the outdoor hot tub. As we sat there talking and listening to music, we admired the stillness of the countryside. No cars beeping, people shouting, construction roaring; it was just us (and some friendly cows in the distance).

We really felt like the only people in the world. The atmosphere made it easy to unwind and shake off any stress we had brought with us.

Speaking of relaxing, we didn't even need to think about dinner. Prior to our stay, we received a message with a list of dinner options. We settled on butter chicken and rice, which was ready to go in the fridge on arrival.

By the time the sun began to set, and we had pulled our pruney bodies out of the hot tub, we removed our pre-prepared curry from the fridge and heated it up for dinner. Not thinking about or having to cook was the ultimate relaxation point.

We then took some chocolates from the Junee Licorice and Chocolate factory up to bed and settled in for a Yellowstone marathon on Netflix (very fitting for our country stay). With the most magnificent view of the stars and no city noises, we drifted off to sleep in the cloud-like bed.

As sunrise came, we enjoyed coffee out on the balcony and read our books. The days of waking up at 4am, squeezing into a gym workout, walking our dogs and navigating peak hour traffic seemed like a world away during this much-needed change of pace.

For breakfast, eggs, bacon, bread and veggies, alongside homemade relish and sauces, awaited us in the kitchen. Alongside local coffee, teas and mid-morning snacks overflowing from the goodies basket, the hosts really had thought of everything.

By the time we had to jump in the car to drive home back to Sydney, we were both so relaxed we were almost permanently horizontal. I can't recommend this getaway more highly — we not only rested as individuals, but also found time to connect as a couple. We talked, listened to music, danced around, cuddled in bed and binge-watched a show (which we are always too busy to do in our day-to-day lives).

The Silos is a four-hour drive from Sydney with so many gorgeous country towns along the way to stop and explore. Get in quick to book a weekend away, as I have a feeling this getaway is going to fill up fast!
