Vicky was amazing. She planned such a spectacular trip with a great variety of adventures and just the right amount of free days. Her recommendations were helpful in finding relaxing walks and good food. Vicky even stepped in when one of our flights was canceled to reschedule a group tour to another day so that we could still attend.

Right out of the 80s. Physical keys to get in the room. Room on the 3rd floor - elevator was out of commission. Air-conditioned room was just big enough for the bed. The other "room" was out the sliding door (which scraped and rumbled when opening or closing) on a covered but open patio. The pool with waterfalls was cool.

I had a great experience with KimKim and with my specific advisor, Liz. My trip to Australia was my first trip to Australia and I had no prior ‘in country’ experience. With help from Liz I organized a trip that took me through Sydney, to Uluru, and then onto Daintree and the Great Barrier Reef that was spectacular. I was particularly impressed with the way Liz organized local support through an ‘in country’ partner Southern World. There were a couple of small issues that came up during the trip (for example, an Uluru tour guide canceled at the last minute) and the Southern World team was easy to reach and incredibly responsive—got a replacement guide organized for me in less than an hour. Liz was also super responsive and helpful throughout the whole process, from early planning to confirmed details through to all the actual travel. I would happily recommend KimKim and Liz to anyone planning a comparable trip.

Hotel Reviews
PARKROYAL Darling Harbour
Sydney

This is a fine hotel, but in a city that is otherwise quite beautiful (Sydney) this hotel is located on possibly the ugliest quarter acre in town—it is built in between two freeway ramps and the view out the window is 100% freeway. Functionally it was fine—clean rooms, nice breakfast, good service at the front desk. But given what i now know to be the alternatives in Sydney next time I go I would prefer a different hotel.

This hotel exceeded expectations in every respect. The location is spectacular—in a quiet neighborhood directly across the street from the Four Mile Beach, with 5-10 minute walking access to the best restaurants and shops in Port Douglas. The service was excellent, including a very good included breakfast. And the facilities were excellent. The room included a balcony overlooking the beach and in-room facilities (fridge, stove top, microwave, etc.) and as a result was very comfortable to stay in. Indeed, the room itself was a great destination. If I go back to Port Douglas I will stay at the Peninsula.

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel
Mascot, Sydney, NSW

This hotel is a classic airport hotel, and I judge aiport hotels by a different standard. When I stay at an airport hotel it is usually immediately before or after a flight and I’m looking for convenience and efficiency. The airport Rydges is super convenient to the international terminal and also just 50 meters from the T8 train line that runs every few minutes straight into Sydney. The room was clean and super functional, and an easy (flat, little car traffic) 5 minute walk from the international terminal. I would recommend it to other travelers looking for an airport hotel to facilitate their connections.
