I can’t say enough good things about Siena and Greg at kimkim. They were both an absolute pleasure to work with.
One of the best things about our trips was the ease and convenience of our travel arrangements. Everything was done for our convenience and we didn’t have to worry about airport transfers, tickets to events, airline flights within the country, hotel accommodations, etc. This was one of the first trips where I didn’t have to plan out everything and that definitely made a huge difference in my level of enjoyment. All I had to do was tell the family what time we had to meet for our pick ups. Thank you Siena and Greg for the trip of a lifetime!

A wonderful tour through the different areas of downtown Melbourne. Melinda was truly a pleasure to tour with. She was friendly, knowledgeable and you could tell she had a real affinity for the city. We wandered down alleys and lanes and saw all the diverse architecture of the city. We stopped to have drinks at one of the many coffee houses located in the city and had some terrific chocolate at Mork’s. This was a great tour for people interested in architecture and to see the many diverse areas of downtown Melbourne.

Tour guide: Helen Sydney Fish Market - great place to visit. Interesting to see the different types of fish and food available. The samples we had were delicious - deep fried squid, deep fried fish, salmon sashimi and raw oysters. Lotus - Chinese cuisine, the vegetable dumplings were really good. The other items we sampled were also good. Harry’s Meals on Wheels - meat pie was surprisingly tasty Black Star Bakery - the only disappointing stop. The cake was just okay and the people working there were not friendly Young Henry’s - cool, funky bar. We enjoyed the beer flights Helen was a fantastic guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. The places she took us were fun and it was nice to see the different areas of Sydney as she talked about the history of the area. Definitely a recommended tour for first timers in Sydney.

Calmsley Farm: We saw wallabies, kangaroos, mice, goats, sheep, wombat, camel, Shetland ponies, donkeys, koalas, rabbits, turkeys, a ferret, and snakes. We love animals so this was a fun stop for all of us. Blue Mountains: Unfortunately the weather made it impossible to see anything. The rain and the fog obscured the views and made it too dangerous for us to do the hike. It was very disappointing, but we understood it had nothing to do with the tour. Our guide, Paul, was really nice and had a lot of interesting information for the group. We heard later that this was the wettest winter in Sydney in 28 years!

Mossman Gorge - This was very nice, and there was a lot to see. We took a tram up to the gorge, and the day was cool and beautiful so we were able to take a dip in the watering hole. We would have loved to stay longer to hike the trail.

What can I say? Having Vicky help us plan this trip was one of the best decisions we made!
Not only did she save us hours (honestly, weeks) of research, but she also handled all the logistics, organized our schedule beautifully, and gave us access to her deep knowledge of the best experiences, places to stay, and ways to get around. Our itinerary was always up to date, easy to access online, and packed with thoughtful touches that made the trip smooth and stress-free.
It ended up being the trip of a lifetime—and I truly believe that was because of Vicky’s recommendations, planning, and support. She didn’t just help before we left; she was also there for us during the trip, quickly helping us adjust our plans when we needed to make changes and answering questions along the way. That kind of support made all the difference. I cannot recommend Vicky enough!

And a quick shoutout to KimKim: I’d never heard of it before, but I’m now a huge fan. The platform is so easy to use—it kept everything organized, made it simple to share feedback, and let us keep all our trip details in one place.

For those who’ve never used KimKim or worked with Vicky, here’s how our planning process went:
* We started with a live call where we shared our vision for the trip—dates, locations, ages of travelers, and the overall vibe we were hoping for.
* Vicky came back with a detailed itinerary (no small feat since ours was 21 days across 5 locations!), including activities and options for each stop.
* We reviewed her suggestions online of the activities, left comments and questions, and fine-tuned until it was exactly what we wanted.
* She found incredible accommodations that fit our group of 7so that we could stay in a room with a kitchen, etc.
* She managed all the tricky logistics: multiple flights, ferries, shuttles and connections we wouldn’t have figured out so easily on our own.
* About a week before departure, we had a final walk-through of the itinerary, which gave us a clear picture of what was ahead and got us even more excited.

Overall, Vicky made a potentially overwhelming trip not only possible but joyful to plan. I know I could never have organized it at this level on my own, and her help meant I could focus on the fun and excitement instead of the stress. If you’re thinking about planning a trip in Australia, do yourself a favor—work with Vicky. You’ll thank yourself later.

So much space, great views, loved the Terrace! Some of the rooms are a little dated (broken tiles in bathroom, knicks in the walls) but the layout, space and views definitely made up for it! Oh, it had a really small table so we were not able to eat in the room (just in case that is a must for someone else)

This location has very high highs (interior and layout of the space and level of quality) but some low points that are unfortunate. No on site dining, limited staff support, a bit far to walk to everything and no elevator (which is only troubling when you have a lot of luggage). If we stayed here again we would rent a car.

Location
No dining in this location and closest place for coffee was a 7 min walk. 15-20 min walk to everything else and no free shuttle. I don't know if there is a closer place but a meal option would have been nice. For others you may want to rent a car.

Upon arrival, person at the desk shared that there was a shuttle but never shared there was a charge. We were not prepared to pay 8/pp each way! She also was not very helpful with questions and only available limited hours during the day.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The room was beautiful and very well laid out with lots of space. The nicest interior of the whole trip! The only reason for the lower score is that they do not have elevators so we had to carry a lot of luggage up three flights of stairs.

Whale Watching was very well done and the Sandboarding add on was great! We had trouble with the van quality and timing, which brought the rating down.

The Whale Watching was 5/5 but the overall drive, etc. was a 3/5. My kids said the sandboarding was one of their fav activities, but we only ended up getting 20 mins because of logistics.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Jen was friendly but struggled. She couldn't find the Sandboarding location (it wasn't easily marked to her credit) but we went back to the same place three times before she asked for help, which made us late and we only got 20 mins of sandboarding. The Sandboarding was awesome but this very long drive with very stressful timing (almost missed the whale watching) made this day difficult.

Van was really tired and many of us got queasy on this drive because of how shaky the vehicle was. We also had lots of speed bumps which didn't help. We were in the car a very long time and it was in poor quality, so that made the overall experience poor.
