With a little over a month to go, it's not too late to sneak away this Christmas. Reward yourself for a year's work well done and let someone else slave over the hot stove. Here are A&K's top five enticements for a festive season getaway.

South Australia's Eyre

The rugged but beautiful Eyre Peninsula in South Australia is a hidden delight. Just across the Spencer Gulf from Adelaide it's the gateway to the Nullarbor and the Great Australian Bight and has quiet pristine beaches, secluded fishing spots and sublime seafood. With A&K, guests stay in a private, architecturally designed, solar powered, luxury eco lodge near Port Lincoln and a luxury safari camp in the Gawler Ranges. Walking trails, wildlife, local wine and gourmet provisions are all on tap plus there are 4WD excursions, swimming with Bluefin Tuna or snorkelling with sea lions and bottlenose dolphins.

A&K's 5-day 'Eyre Eco Escape' from $2,565 per person.

A coastal walk in Victoria

Feel like an active Christmas break? Well one of the world's most iconic road trips can now be appreciated on foot. Victoria's famous Great Ocean Road is the focus of our four-day walk with the most picturesque sections chosen for the route. There are pathways which follow dramatic cliff tops, rambles through grass-tree and melaleuca forests, soft sandy stretches of beach and expert guides leading the way. Each night guests are welcomed 'home' with a foot spa, glass of wine and a gourmet meal of local produce at the purpose-built eco-lodge.

A&K's 4-day 'Great Ocean Eco Walk' itinerary is priced from $1,995 per person.

The Apple Isle

Charming historic villages, seaside towns, fine food and wine, exquisite boutique accommodation and excellent December weather make Tasmania a unique and rewarding getaway. Though small in size, it is rich in culinary invention. Gourmet experiences abound and with A&K you are treated to private wine tastings, local picnic hampers, artisan chocolate and berry wine tastings, dinner at Saffire Freycinet's award-winning Palate and a degustation lunch with matching wines at The Source restaurant at MONA (Museum of Old and New Art).

A&K's 8-day private journey, 'Tasmania on a Platter', is priced from $6,535 per person.

Gourmet South Australia

For a Christmas indulgence close to home look no further than South Australia. The world famous Barossa Valley wine producing region is a highlight where guests can try their hand at winemaking, sample gourmet fare and bed down at The Louise, an idyllic gourmet retreat. Then there's an outback experience at Arkaba Station with a hosted homestead dinner. In the Clare Valley enjoy more home cooked fare before jetting down to Kangaroo Island and stunning Southern Ocean Lodge where ocean, beach and wilderness combine to create the most spectacular wilderness setting. A private dinner for two is organised in the cellar one evening and there's a master class showcasing the island's rich produce.

A&K's 8-day private journey, 'Tastes of South Australia', is priced from $10,475 per person.

Go West

Australia's Southwest corner is blessed with a magnificent coastline and is home to world-class vineyards and extraordinary gourmet produce. The Margaret River wine country comes to life as guests are chauffeured from vineyard to vineyard meeting vignerons, sampling the local drop and arranging a private barrel tasting along the way. The region also produces apples, avocadoes and green tea plus the rare black truffle which you'll have the chance to try. Christmas dinner at Cape Lodge comes highly recommended.

A&K's 7-day private journey, 'The Gourmet Southwest', priced from $2,995 per person.
