Kimkim Trip Reviews for Australia

Very roomy, clean, and good location for venturing out to the beach.

Great ocean view! King bed’s position was facing ocean upon waking up.

Great location, great king beds but at the expense of a place to work with luggage.

Received great assistance from the restaurant staff over several days. They went beyond what was needed. Great view of the Bay Bridge.

A must see and do.we were very blessed that the vendor changed our excursion the day before and allowed us to enjoy the weather and the snorkeling experience which was very much appreciated.

Zip lining was a great experience. Safe and sound.

This was awesome and well worth it.

This excursion was cancelled by vendor due to ship issues.

A must see location!!!! Absolutely beautiful and stunning.

Beautiful forests and trees and waterfalls.

Captain of tour boat was very good and informed and educational on sites and history of tour.

We had a very rewarding day with the whales and the dolphins and the weather.

Great weather, tour guide but too many steps for my spouse!

Our guide was the best. She offered several name including “Gorgeous” which fit the personality and style of a young lady who entertained her group the whole time.

Showed the awesome sites. Craig took us to Bonbi area which was beautiful. Showed beautiful church.

Great tour guide. Knowledgeable and friendly and friendly and helpful.

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.

I have mixed experiences with this tour and would want to go to Whitehaven again but in a different way, perhaps a smaller group, easier tender process and longer amount of time. We only had about 30 mins on the beach by the time we got there.

Overall this was a bit disappointing. At times it felt like "going through the motions" and no real explanation or "guide". Would not recommend the zip lining for anyone that has done it in other locations. And the crocodile tour was disappointing. The boat was in very poor condition

Overall this was a great experience, but I wish there were less people. There were not enough seats for us to sit inside, and certainly not sit together, and with all of the people everything took longer, which left less time to snorkel. The way the experience is laid out and all the options (like the marine biologist presentation and observation submarine) is wonderful, but the crowds were tricky.

One in a lifetime opportunity. So well done and amazing experience!

So glad we added this to the trip! This Sanctuary was so nice and the Koalas were the best!

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.

This was one of the best parts of the trip, due is major part to Mark, our guide! He was SOOOO friendly, knowledgeable and overall great human. He was one of our favorite people to meet and so glad we got to spend the day with him.

One of our top experience of this whole trip! Highly recommend.

Loved seeing Bondi and the walk before to get to the beach was amazing! Van was comfortable and Craig shared good information about the city.

The rooms are extremely dated, and there is a wide disparity among them. The first room that was assigned to our children was below street level and had the odor of mold. Our room, which was on the third floor, was serviceable. The management did move the children’s room to one that was better after we complained. The property is adjacent to a trailer park and has seen better days. I will actively avoid this hotel if I visit again.

The hotel is beautiful and ideally located within a short walk to the Rocks market and the Opera House. The rooms were very comfortable and a decent size. The staff or exceptional, professional, and responsive.

The guide was outstanding and the vehicle was extremely comfortable. Phillips Island presents a spectacular landscape. It was great to see wallabies in the wild.As with all nature experiences, the penguin parade is highly unpredictable as to what one might see. The night we went, hardly any penguins came ashore.

Allan was our guide- he was entertaining, enthusiastic, and informative. The Landscape covered during this trip is truly spectacular..

Fan was outstanding- knowledgeable, enthusiastic and thoroughly engaging. He pointed out many hidden gems of the city and made outstanding restaurant recommendations. He has a deep knowledge of the cities history and presents it in an enjoyable fashion.

The boat was modern, well outfitted, and extremely comfortable.. the pontoon was incredible, on a day and the waters were rough, it was nice to step onto the stable pontoon. Our family has a range of skill levels and experience with snorkeling, and the friendly and professional staff made it a safe and enjoyable experience for all skill levels. This was the most memorable tour of our trip.

This was our first time zip lining. The staff made it stress-free and enjoyable. The views were amazing.

My kids truly enjoyed this experience. The koala interaction was particularly memorable. The mission of the sanctuary and their dedicated staff were inspiring.

The vessel was small and the water was rough. Several individuals experienced violent sea sickness. There were no dolphins or whales. James, the guide who drove us was fantastic.

Basic cheap and cheerful

Spot on location and great room and facilities

Great location and comfortable

Great location and rooms

Fantastic day out, jay driver and guide very knowledgeable coach crowded and cramped

Great tour but unfortunately couldn't take photos in the concert halls because of staff working

Good tour knowledgeable guide

Great trip and fabulous and funny driver/guide Libby really made this trip

Just an ok trip food took ages to get and not very memorable could have given this a miss

Great trip and fabulous BBQs

Paradise

This hotel was in a great location for navigating Melbourne. The staff were awesome and very helpful The breakfast was good but could use a bit more variety. I did upgrade to a larger room at this hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is in an excellent location for navigating tours and walking in Cairns. The breakfast was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would upgrade my room the next time I stayed here - fairly small, overlooking rooftops - would have been nicer to have a slightly larger room with a view of the lovely pool area.

Nice hotel in good area for navigating tour and ferry's. The breakfast was excellent.

I wasn't sure what this tour actually entailed but am very happy we did it - it's all about the art and eateries that are in the alley ways of Melbourne - very interesting.

It is a very long and late day and worth it to see the Penguin Parade - wonderful.

The Yarra Valley is incredibly beautiful and interesting. Loved this tour with Bree of Go West Tours - it was inclusive of wine, coffee, cheese, gin distillery and a chocolate factory!

Very interesting tour and a great experience to see the crocodiles that live on the Daintree River banks. The rainforest is an amazing place.

The Great Barrier Reef is always amazing. Although we were not seasick getting there, may people did - highly recommend taking Ginger pills before and during this trip. I also recommend taking the private snorkeling tour that they have available - great opportunity to see and learn more than if you snorkel on your own.

This was a good tour and we are happy we did it.

Kat with Anderson Tours was amazing - fun, entertaining and full of information about everything that we saw and visited! Highly recommend this tour.

Good tour and information about the history of Sydney and the neighborhoods. We enjoyed Karyn and the information that she shared with us.

This is a good and comprehensive tour of the Opera House.

Has all you need during the week but not if you don't have a car when staying weekends. This hotel is located out of the immediate airport area on an industrial site. There are no shops or venues to eat anywhere nearby and their shuttle bus is almost unavailable on a weekend. They do offer ready meals and vending machines but this could be improved by a more accessible shuttle service at weekends.

Wonderful apartment with all facilities in the heart of the rocks area of Sydney. Had all kitchen facilities and a washing machine and dryer which was brilliant. Daily light service which was great.

Had good facilities and was very central. Perhaps a little tired but all clean and functional. Had a washing machine and dryer and all you needed in the galley kitchen.

In a wonderful location with all the amenities close by. Excellent facilities in the apartment. Very comfortable stay here. Staff were very helpful. Chose not to have daily service as this was an extra cost and we don't mind making the bed. We got replenished tea etc and clean towels via reception staff. Again had a washing machine and dryer which was brilliant.

A very large room with all tea and coffee making facilities and all the basics. It was a no frills approach but was clean and functional. Very expensive for what it was and the restaurant and local eateries were also overpriced.

This was ideal for us as it had all the facilities we needed for weeks stay and was very comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and it was brilliant to have a washing machine and dryer. They supplied everything like washing up liquid and laundry liquid. The living room couch was a little tired but overall the flat was great.

The best trip of all! Anderson's run this amazing tour and pack lots into the day. It was wonderful? Jay our driver tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable. The scenery was stunning. The rides exciting and featherdale wildlife park stupendous.

Wonderful trip. Although we had walked around the outside many times it was fantastic to see the interior and hear the history of the architecture and what happens in the building.

Although we have been to this area before it was great to hear the stories of the history and how it came to be what it is today.

Wonderful trip in beautiful scenery. Libby our driver and guide from AAT Kings was awesome. She made the day very memorable to say nothing of the stunning scenery. The waterfalls and pools were stunning and brilliant for a dip.

Great sunset seen on this cruise. Overall pleasant experience but food felt rushed and a bit like a buffet at a scout camp!

A wonderful day exploring the natural wonders of the area. The driver was our guide and she was excellent and knowledgeable about all aspects of what we saw. It was an emotional experience.

Great trip although be prepared for sea swell and some bumpy ride out to the reef. Staff were great and very helpful. There were options to see the reef without swimming or snorkeling. Unfortunately the submersible want working so this option not available. Loved Fitzroy island too.

This was a wonderful trip and our guide Terry (tropic tours) was passionate about the people and places we visited. It was a beautiful day if you enjoy nature and history.

Beautiful area and so Accessible to everyone.

Loved this. Our guide was brilliant and knowledgeable. It was an emotional experience.

I would highly recommend this trip. It was awesome and the best BBQ I've ever tasted too. The A TT Kings team were wonderful and it all went like clockwork. It was an amazing experience.

The portions at the restaurant were so small and so pricy. Plus the food selection was much too fancy for us so we did uber eats the second day for lunch and dinner and that was perfect.

The view of the river from the 50th floor was amazing!! I didn’t want to leave!

The guides were great. Wish we had more time to sit and swim at the end though. Most of our tour group was staying in the water as long as possible and we were ushered out to pack up and go. I get they had to keep us moving with lots of groups going at once but wish we had more time in the water.

The staff was great and location excellent. Can do with some updating in rooms.

Loved the hotel and location. Very relaxing atmosphere. Staff was helpful. Very walkable to beach and town. The only minor issue was in our room, the air conditioning unit blew the cold air right onto the bed. And it was kind of hard to figure out how to adjust to keep the room cool, but not feel like you're being frozen in bed. Minor problem. We enjoyed everything else.

Amazing location - large rooms. Wish we had more time there, but it was quite brief.

Wonderful location and great staff. My only small issue was our dryer in our suite didn't work well.

This was a wonderful excursion. We loved our lunch stop for some of the best fish and chips. Then onto see the Koalas, beaches and finally the penguins. Rob, our guide was very engaged and gave us an experience to remember.

Our guide was nice and knowledgeable. Just be prepared for windy roads. The scenic views are gorgeous. Our only feedback was there was 8 including our guide. We were spoiled on prior tours on our trip with a full sized van to comfortable seat everyone. This trip, we were in a mini-van which is a bit of a squeeze for a 12 hour day.

We loved Kem, our guide. He was knowledgeable, interesting and very relaxed, but kept us on time. Beautiful walks and scenic viewpoints.

The operator and staff were 5 stars, they made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The journey to the reef is 90 minutes and then 90 minutes back. Not the operators fault, but it was just a bit of a windier day and choppier water so even with Dramamine my kids weren't feeling the best. But were better once we got to the pontoon area. Snorkeling gear and equipment they provided was fine. The snorkeling area was a bit more limited. I can understand as we're in the middle of no where and life guards are all around to ensure everyone is safe and accounted for. But it did feel a bit crowded by the launch area and marked triangular area. It was nice to have activities for non-snorkelers but didn't see as many fish as we were hoping for. Perhaps we set our expectations too high. Again overall, great experience with the crew, equipment etc.

Beautiful and magical experience.

Nigel was the best! Second full day of our trip, but Nigel kept jet lag at bay. We really loved the stop to Featherdale and then the Blue Mountain stops. He tailored to our multi-generational family. Went out of his way to make sure my mom had a nice cozy spot to sit while a few others did a serious rainforest/waterfall hike. Would definitely recommend!

The Four Seasons in Sydney is amazing. Great service and as an American, rather reasonable.

It is tucked away in the middle of Chinatown- fun location.

Loved the location and style- great place to stay!

A long day, but completely worth the views and the walk through the rainforest. A bonus stop at a little chocolate shop along the way with beautiful choices.

Highlight of our time in Melbourne! There is nothing cuter than watching these little penguins come in! The animal sanctuary was fantastic as well- we pet so many kangaroos and wallabies.

This whole excursion was such a well organized, planned out trip. The boat ride over had a very informative talk given by one of the marine biologists and the staff was all positive and happy. The lunch was great. While on the floating station, not crowded, and again the staff was helpful and informative, The views underneath of the coral reef were beautiful and stunning.

It was not a crowded excursion which was nice. I think going in winter helped! Felt like we were on our own private beach at Nudey Beach

Loved the farm visit along with the gorgeous views up in the mountains. The Botanical Garden was a nice way to end the day as well.

the perfect length- 1 hour- to get a lot of fascinating information.

We were here for 5 nights, visiting the Great Barrier Reef and tours of the Daintree. It was an amazing time and nice to be in an apartment with the many amenities provided - washer/dryer, full and well stocked kitchen, a short walk to 4 Mile Beach, a bit longer walk to downtown Port Douglas, a private patio, 2 pools, housekeeping service. This would be a great place for a large family reunion. The only difficulty was the stair flights up to our 3rd floor place with heavy luggage, no elevators. Also , we arrived in the evening and there was no one on duty. We were left our key cards and very detailed directions to our room (and an upgrade), which was fine, just not what I expected. Staff during the day were very helpful and housekeeping was very friendly and helpful. I hope to go back!

This is a sprawling complex, probably the only place to stay on this section of the island. Rooms are a little worn but the location is stunning. They did a nice job with limited, kid-friendly food. The activities available there are plentiful and all our guides were wonderful. The dolphin feeding is very well run and such a unique experience. We loved our stay there - didn’t want to leave.

Great location, excellent service, clean rooms, comfy beds, beautiful views, great breakfast, stunning pool. Loved it all!

The Tangalooma and Moreton Island trip was a real treat, especially the unique activities like dolphin feeding and sand tobogganing. It was strenuous due to climbing sandhills, but so much fun and worth the effort. I highly recommend not missing out on this adventurous and delightful experience.

The Full Day Daintree Rainforest Tour was a truly immersive experience. The lush greenery and unique ecosystem were fascinating, and it was perfect for my granddaughter and me. While maybe less suitable for very small children, it's an activity that older kids and adults would definitely enjoy. I loved the tour, and the drive was worth it.

The Full Day Skyrail and Kuranda Rail trip was stunning, but I was disappointed to find out the train ride part wasn't included in our reservation. Thankfully, we managed to book it on-site, and it was worth it. The views were breathtaking, and it's an experience you wouldn't want to miss. Despite the hiccup in the booking, everything else was well-organized, and I'd recommend doing both the Skyrail and the train.

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed in, including USA hotels. It was very clean and quiet. The staff was always around to help.

This activity was one of the best parts of our trip! We thoroughly enjoyed getting to see the wallabies in their natural habitat and watching them come out over the sunrise. I would recommend any animal or nature lover to take this trip!

This was our favorite hotel. It was just across from the ocean and in walking distance to many wonderful restaurants and shops. The pool area was lovely, especially in the evening. Breakfast was wonderful, and we had free access to bikes to get to the area where we would take our snorkeling trip.

We enjoyed touring the area and the wineries and meeting some other guests. It was a nice wind down (or “wine down”) for the last day in Australia.

The road was so scenic and photos are amazing.

This tour was so much fun and we enjoyed the food treats. Our guide was exceptional and thorough.

Love the artwork everywhere! Guide was great!

This was one of our favorites. The guides were exceptional and we saw lots of beautiful creature and life under the sea.

Enjoyed the boat ride and seeing the crocodiles as well as the creeks

It was a bit longer than expected but we enjoyed the experience.

Finding our way to start was somewhat confusing, but that was because there had been adjusted, but it worked out fine.

Sunrise was spectacular, but chillier than expected. Breakfast was okay, but it was very windy and cool outside.

One of our favorites !

Weather did not cooperate so lots of clouds obscuring views, but the information was very good.

The guide was exceptional and the opera house was very beautiful, inside and out.

Lots of great information
