For couples, families and business travellers looking to take a short break this spring, each state of Australia has a vast range of exciting daytime and evening attractions that are not to be missed, including: Sydney�s first season of the record breaking hit stage show, The Lion King, Adelaide�s showcase of fine Australian cuisine at Tasting Australia, Australia�s biggest racing event, the Melbourne Cup Carnival and Canberra�s famous flower festival, Floriade

With 18 properties around Australia, Medina Serviced Apartments is celebrating the season of renewal with a �Spring at Medina Package�, to provide guests with a luxurious home away from home, while they immerse themselves in the best entertainment the country has to offer.

For those planning to visit the city of churches, the five star Medina Grand Adelaide Treasury combines the original elements of Adelaide�s former treasury building with modern finishes and contemporary d�cor, creating one of Medina�s most luxurious properties and the perfect place to get away and relax.

Art lovers planning to take a short break in Sydney will enjoy the delights of the five star Medina Grand Harbourside and Medina Grand Sydney. Both are close to The Museum of Contemporary Art, The Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Sydney Theatre Company, and opposite Darling Harbour and next door to the dining hot spots of Cockle Bay & King Street Wharfs.

The Melbourne Cup Carnival is one of the biggest events in the Australian racing calendar and visitors looking for affordable accommodation during this busy period have the choice of three superbly located Medina properties in the areas of South Yarra and the Melbourne's CBD.

Guests of Medina Serviced Apartments can unwind at the end of the long day and experience Medina's latest release in-house movies or simply relax to the tunes of their favourite CD�s on the in-house stereo system. When its time to dine, guests can prepare a meal in the fully equipped kitchen or order and eat in rather than going to a restaurant. Medina�s specially designed pantry service allows guests to pre-order groceries and drinks, while also dining at nearby restaurants and charging the bill directly back to their rooms is also an option.

After enjoying a relaxing night�s sleep, guests will awaken to a delicious continental breakfast delivered to their apartment. For guests wanting to maintain an active lifestyle while enjoying their holiday break, most properties feature a heated pool, gymnasium and sauna.
