The new trend of “grandymoons” is gaining popularity as families thank grandparents with special trips together
Pokolbin: Have you ever called your parents for help with the kids? I bet you have! Whether it’s for a quick doctor’s visit or just to keep the kids entertained, grandparents often come to the rescue.
That’s why many parents are now planning special trips to thank their parents for all the support. It really does take a village, right?
So, here’s the scoop: there’s a new travel trend called “grandymoons.” It’s all about taking grandparents on a holiday, and it’s becoming super popular for 2025.
While looking for fun travel ideas, I found that Japan is a hot spot for 2024 and 2025. But with the rising cost of living, many families are opting for closer destinations.
According to Susan Wheeldon from Airbnb, group bookings are on the rise. Families are flocking to Airbnb, with over 80% of bookings now for group trips. It’s a great way to reconnect and make memories.
Plus, with shared wishlists and group messaging, planning these trips is a breeze. No one has to take charge of the planning, which is a relief!
When I suggested taking my parents on a “grandymoon,” my siblings were all in. It’s like a honeymoon, but for grandparents! They get to spend time with all their grandkids and relive their youth.
Sure, some people joked that having the whole family together could be chaotic, and I kind of agreed. But we found a great place on Airbnb—Greenacres in Pokolbin, right in the Hunter Valley.
This spacious home can host up to 20 guests and has a pool, tennis court, and games shed. Plus, it’s pet-friendly, so our furry friends can join the fun!
The layout is perfect, with enough space for everyone to spread out without feeling cramped. It’s entertaining enough that no one will get bored, even if the adults sneak off for some wine tasting.
Honestly, I knew this was a brilliant idea as soon as we settled in. After a quick drink on the patio, we all relaxed. Kids were swimming, others were playing tennis, and we were just enjoying each other’s company.
It was the perfect family getaway, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to show appreciation to my parents.
