Warm up this winter

Stay in the sunshine with a stopover at Spicers Balfour Hotel in New Farm.  Stay for two nights in this inner Brisbane hotel. Pay $399 per couple per night Friday to Sunday.  This package includes  two tickets to the Surrealism Exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art, a two course dinner for two at the Continental  restaurant (winter menu) on one night, canapés each evening in the rooftop bar, a fully cooked breakfast each morning, with complimentary  bubbles on arrival. Sounds good to me,- so how about you and your partner ?  For booking details and conditions go visit www.spicersgroup.com.au
