• Not at all. Our Styling Tours are for anyone with a love of interiors, design and beautiful spaces. You might be renovating, furnishing your home, working in the industry or simply looking for a day of inspiration. No design experience is required.

  • Think of it as part styling masterclass, part design tour and part very good day out. We’ll visit some of our favourite interiors destinations, step inside a private home, share styling and sourcing advice, shop, eat and talk all things interiors along the way.

  • Quite a bit. Sydney Styling Tours are primarily explored on foot through Surry Hills and surrounding areas, with a short vehicle transfer where required. Comfortable shoes are essential.

  • Your ticket includes the full-day hosted tour with Lucy and Jono, all scheduled visits and experiences, a private home tour, styling advice throughout the day, morning coffee and pastries, lunch and a glass of bubbles to finish. Personal purchases and additional food and drinks are not included.

  • Please do. One of the best parts of the day is having access to Lucy and Jono’s experience. Bring photos, plans or questions about a room, renovation, furniture choice or styling dilemma and we can talk through it with you throughout the day.

  • Absolutely. Shopping and sourcing are part of the experience, and some stores may offer special benefits to guests on the day. For larger purchases, we recommend arranging delivery directly with the retailer.

  • We’ll collect dietary requirements before the tour and work with our venues to accommodate them wherever reasonably possible. If you have a serious allergy, please let us know when booking so we can discuss it with the venue in advance.

  • The tour goes ahead in most weather. If conditions are unsafe, we may adjust timings, transport or parts of the itinerary. We’ll always prioritise giving you the best possible experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not at all. Our retreats are designed for anyone who loves interiors, food, creativity, beautiful spaces and experiencing a destination through a design lens. You don’t need to be a designer or stylist to join us.

  • Absolutely. Many guests join our experiences independently. The groups are intentionally small, making it easy to get to know everyone over the three days.

  • Your retreat includes two nights of boutique accommodation in Hobart, transport during the retreat, all scheduled visits, workshops and experiences, and the meals outlined in the itinerary. Flights, airport transfers, personal purchases and any additional food or drinks outside the itinerary are not included.

  • The standard retreat price is based on twin-share accommodation. If you’re travelling with someone, you can nominate who you’d like to share with. If you’re joining us solo, we’ll pair you with another guest. If you’d prefer your own room, a limited number of solo upgrades are available for an additional fee.

  • The retreat includes a combination of private transport and walking at our destinations. You should be comfortable spending periods on your feet, navigating shops, homes, gardens and public spaces, and getting in and out of our transport throughout the day.

  • We’ll collect dietary requirements before the retreat and make reasonable efforts to accommodate them with our restaurants and venues. If you have a serious food allergy or specific medical dietary requirement, please contact us before booking so we can confirm whether it can be safely accommodated.

  • Guests arrange their own travel to Hobart and their own airport transfers. We’ll provide the meeting point and final-day finishing details well ahead of the retreat so you can plan your flights and additional accommodation.

  • Please wait until we have confirmed that the retreat has reached its minimum guest numbers before booking non-refundable flights or additional accommodation. If you choose to book earlier, we strongly recommend flexible fares and comprehensive travel insurance.

  • We strongly recommend comprehensive domestic travel insurance covering cancellation, illness, injury, travel delays and other unforeseen circumstances. This is particularly important because our retreats involve pre-booked accommodation, restaurants, transport and private experiences.

  • You’re welcome to sit out an activity if you need some downtime, however the retreat has been designed as a complete three-day experience and we are unable to offer refunds for activities, meals or experiences you choose not to attend.

Terms and Conditions

By purchasing a ticket or paying a deposit for a Styling Tours experience, you agree to the following Terms + Conditions.

  • A booking is confirmed once the required ticket price or deposit has been received through our nominated booking platform.

    For Tasmania Styling Retreats, a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 per guest is required to secure your place. The remaining balance must be paid by the due date advised at the time of booking.

    Failure to make payment by the due date may result in cancellation of your booking and forfeiture of your deposit.

  • For Sydney Styling Tours, cancellations received at least 14 days before the tour date are eligible for a refund. Cancellations received within 14 days are non-refundable.

    For Tasmania Styling Retreats, the $1,000 deposit is non-refundable.

    Cancellations made more than 90 days before the retreat will receive a refund of payments made beyond the deposit.

    Cancellations made between 90 and 60 days before the retreat will forfeit 50% of the total retreat fee.

    Cancellations made within 60 days of the retreat are non-refundable.

    If you are unable to attend, you may request to transfer your booking to another guest, subject to approval by Styling Tours.

  • The standard Tasmania Styling Retreat price is based on twin-share accommodation.

    Guests travelling together may nominate their preferred room companion. Guests booking individually at the twin-share rate may be paired with another guest.

    Styling Tours will make room pairings thoughtfully and with guest comfort in mind. If you have any preferences or requirements regarding room sharing, please let us know when booking and we will do our best to accommodate them.

    A limited number of single-room upgrades may be available for an additional fee.

  • Our itineraries are carefully planned, however venues, restaurants, accommodation, activities, transport and timings may occasionally need to change due to weather, availability or circumstances outside our control.

    Where possible, we will provide an alternative experience of a comparable standard.

    Some experiences require minimum guest numbers. If Styling Tours cancels a tour or retreat entirely, all monies paid directly to Styling Tours for that experience will be refunded.

    Styling Tours is not responsible for additional costs such as flights, airport transfers or accommodation booked separately.

  • We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance for all multi-day retreats, including cover for cancellation, illness, injury and travel disruption.

    Our experiences may involve walking, stairs, uneven surfaces and visits to private homes or venues where accessibility varies.

    If you have mobility or accessibility requirements that may affect your participation, please contact us before booking.

  • We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate dietary requirements provided in advance.

    Meals are prepared by independent restaurants and venues, so we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.

    Guests with serious allergies or specific dietary requirements should contact us before booking.

  • Photography and video may be captured during our tours and retreats for use on the Styling Tours website, social media and promotional material.

    If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please let us know before the experience begins.

    Guests are expected to behave respectfully towards fellow guests, hosts, private homeowners, venues and suppliers.

    By purchasing a ticket or paying a deposit, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms + Conditions.
