Three-Michelin-starred Maaemo returns to Sydney with an all-Australian menu
Among the produce sourced will be Atherton raspberries, which will replace Norwegian strawberries in a dessert of dried and rehydrated berries with native herbs and edible flowers.
'Dishes will closely resemble those served in Oslo, but will also be completely bespoke, taking on the unique flavours of Australia, cooked up by a couple of Australian chefs at the top of their field, in an iconic Australian setting,' says Geraghty.
Originally from Port Stephens, NSW, Boyle first met Geraghty in 2010 while working in the kitchen of Sydney's Bilson's restaurant. Boyle left just a year later to join Maaemo, and today is one of only three Australian chefs leading a three-Michelin-starred kitchen anywhere in the world — alongside Brett Graham from The Ledbury and Matt Abe from Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.

Hobart's best places to stay
Mona might get all of Hobart's artistic attention, but one of the city's best art collections is dotted around the halls and walls of the elegant Islington. One of the finest old homes in Hobart's dress circle, the recently renovated 1847 Regency mansion completed a refurbishment in 2024. It contains 11 guest rooms and walls graced with works from the likes of Matisse, Whiteley and Hockney, though the views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington and the sun-drenched glass conservatory might outdo it all. Mona Pavilions Perfect for: Art lovers, splurging couples, river views. Racked along the bank of the River Derwent, Mona's eight luxury suites sport the names of an Australian artist or architect, with a signature artwork from Mona's collection to match in the Brett (Whiteley), Arthur (Boyd), Sidney (Nolan) and Charles (Blackman) pavilions. Tall windows fill the pavilions with light and river views, and each design is as creative as you'd expect from Mona's minds. Best of all, the famous subterranean gallery is just steps away. From $ 850 a night. 655 Main Road, Berriedale. Phone: (03) 6277 9978. See Moss Hotel Perfect for: Market shoppers, nature lovers, loved-up weekends. This rolling stone – two former warehouses variously turned brothels, bars and nightclubs – has regathered as Moss. Poised above the Saturday market action, its 41 rooms are sprinkled across two hand-cut, convict-constructed sandstone warehouses in Salamanca Place. Rooms in No.25 are set deep within the building, guaranteeing a peaceful stay (enhanced by the three-level living wall of plants from kunanyi/Mount Wellington), while those at No.39 inhabit one of Hobart's prime corners. From $ 300 a night. 25 & 39 Salamanca Place, Hobart. Phone (03) 6281 3600. Henry Jones Art Hotel Perfect for: Art lovers, city slickers, gourmet stays. A 19th-century waterfront jam factory that at one time grew into Australia's largest company is these days the setting for the country's first dedicated art hotel. Factory remnants remain through the structure, and there are more than 400 works from Tasmanian artists displayed through the rooms and corridors, most of which are available for sale. Take the hotel's art and history tour, or settle in at the IXL Long Bar, or the excellent Peacock and Jones and Landscape restaurants. From $ 335 a night. 25 Hunter Street, Hobart. Phone (03) 6210 7700. Alabama Hotel Perfect for: Flashpackers, city life, the cool crowd. Hanging out over the unsuspecting city on the Alabama's first-floor balcony, you could almost forget you're at a budget hotel. Splashed with murals and colour, the 'Bam' is as cool as it is central – the Elizabeth Street Mall is just 50 metres away. Sure, you have to share a bathroom, but this is Hobart's most retro-chic space, from the record-player cabinet in the comfy communal lounge/bar to the cash register that dates back to the building's days as a 19th-century pub. From $ 106 a night. 72 Liverpool Street, Hobart. Phone 0499 987 698. The Rox Perfect for: City slickers, architectural admiration, gastronomic room service. A slim and sleek building above a city car showroom is the setting for the old-turned-new Rox. Its four self-contained apartments are a mix of modern and heritage development, with the raw-brick Alexander and Elizabeth apartments embracing the building's 140-year history, while the Rox apartment and the penthouse are bright and contemporary in style. Order room service and it comes delivered from one of Hobart's top wine bars, Institut Polaire, or pop downstairs to Omotenashi, a tiny, curious restaurant tucked inside the Lexus showroom. From $ 330 a night. 160-162 Elizabeth Street, Hobart. Phone 0419 805 465. The Tasman Perfect for: City and water views, couples, fine diners. Bold enough to launch in the middle of a pandemic, the five-star, 152-room Tasman commands space in the impressive heritage redevelopment of Hobart's Parliament Square. Named among the World's 50 Best Hotels in 2024, its contemporary architecture blends with original Georgian and art deco structures to create a time-travel journey across three repurposed buildings, with accommodation ranging from elegant heritage rooms to sun-drenched modern suites. Evenings should take you no further than the Tasman's fine Peppina Italian restaurant and the adjoining Mary Mary cocktail bar, secreted away inside the sandstone walls of a 19th-century hospital. From $ 299 a night. 12 Murray Street, Hobart. Phone (03) 6240 6000. Crowne Plaza Perfect for: City centrality, business travellers, mountain views. Plonked atop the city arcades, the 235-room Crowne Plaza tops out at Hobart's first rooftop bar (Aura) and rises tall enough to give every room a view – although the mountain views deliver more than the water views. Room design is simple, but each time you enter, the room curtains automatically part from the floor-to-ceiling windows, reminding you why you're here. Dine at Aura or the fourth-level Core restaurant and bar, or head almost anywhere because nowhere is far from here. Hadley's Orient Hotel Perfect for: Traditionalists, brushes with history, city location. Firmly rooted in Victorian times, from the room furnishings to the afternoon teas on the chequered tiles of the atrium, convict-built Hadley's exudes a long and fascinating life. The first royal to visit Tasmania stayed here in 1862, as did Roald Amundsen when he telegraphed the world of his pioneering South Pole success in 1912. Time stops, in good ways, among its 71 rooms and the cane chairs of the Orient Bar. The Corinda Collection Perfect for: History buffs, gardeners, city views. This elevated Glebe mansion, built by one-time Hobart mayor Alfred Crisp, is now in the hotelling hands of Crisp's great-great-grandson. It's a charming, personal hotel, with a puzzle of rooms – six heritage-style rooms inside the mansion, two ultra-modern pavilions beyond and three original cottages. Each room is distinct and different (the loo with a view in the verandah room is a winner) but the prize feature is the one-acre formal garden – one of the finest in Hobart.

Port guide: Melaka, Malaysia
This article is part of Traveller's ultimate guide to cruise ports. See all stories. Malaysia's oldest and most historic town is World Heritage-listed and features a fantastic blend of multinational influences in its architecture, culture and cuisine. Who goes there Norwegian, Oceania, Ponant, Regent Seven Seas and Royal Caribbean are among lines that visit, either on South-East Asian itineraries or on longer itineraries that link South-east Asia with India or Australia. Many start or finish in Singapore. Hong Kong company Resorts World Cruises recently launched two-night cruises between Melaka and Singapore for a relaxed way to transit between the two nations. Sail on in The Malacca Strait that runs between the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra is one of the world's great shipping lanes, so if you're into ship-spotting you'll be happy at the sight of huge container ships. Malaysia slumps in a series of green hills clumped with clouds. Closer to Melaka you see a small island that barely rises above the water and is crowned by Batu Gelama Lighthouse. Your ship will anchor off the old town. Berth rites Guests are tendered to Parameswara Jetty which is conveniently near Melaka's old-town core, all of which can be explored on foot. A new Melaka International Cruise Terminal is slated for completion in 2026 in a whole new city area developed over the last decade to rival Singapore as a port - though it is far from a success and many projects lie abandoned.
