Enjoy 2 nights away in Melbourne for the musical comedy sensation Sister Act, based on the iconic film starring Whoopi Goldberg: Disco diva Delor’s life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Placed under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she shouldn’t be found – a convent! Encouraged to help the struggling choir, she helps her fellow sisters find their true voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.
We make the most of our time in Melbourne and enjoy high tea at Parliament House, tour a local garden with time allocated at your leisure to catch up with some friends, indulge in some local shopping or enjoy the varied cuisine available in the surrounding areas.
