Top spring activities

Repco revs up the savings

The warmer weather is finally here, which can mean only one thing: it's officially road trip season. If you're planning to hit the road this spring, get your car ready with 20 per cent off at Repco until October 31. Grab that magentic phone holder you've been wanting, top up your oil or get your auto baby looking brand new with 20 per cent off when you show your RACV Member card. 

Barbecue feast

If you love slow-cooked, American-style barbecue, get your feast on at Red Gum BBQ on the Mornington Peninsula. The laid-back eatery's slow, smoky, southern-inspired specialties include juicy pulled pork, succulent beef brisket and some of the best cornbread in all of the land. RACV members save 10 per cent on Red Gum BBQ feast for two vouchers. If you feel like turning your long lunch into a slumber party, RACV Members get 25 per cent off accommodation at RACV Cape Schanck. 

Get lost in a maze

Step into a scene from Harry Potter and try to navigate your way through a 27-year-old hedge maze. Maze House, which is 10 minutes from Daylesford and Creswck, offers fun for big kids and small, with life-size connect four and other carnival games to enjoy once you find your way through the leafy labyrinth. Maze navigation is thirsty work, so treat yourself to a coffee and cake, or a Devonshire tea, in the milkbar cafe afterward. RACV members get 10 per cent off entry to Maze House. While you're in the neighbourhood, book a stay at RACV Goldfields Resort, with 25 per cent off accommodation for RACV Members.
