The Mantra on Russell Melbourne had excellent beds and linens, which I am usually very fussy about. The bedding quality was consistently excellent throughout the trip, which was impressive.

The Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island was nice overall, but the coffee was the worst I've ever had in my life. We ended up bringing our own instant coffee and hot water. Other than that, the hotel was fine.

The Rydges Perth Kings Square hotel was our least favorite. Although the bedding was excellent and it was centrally located, the view was not great and the hotel felt a bit odd. However, Perth was a difficult part of the trip due to an appendicitis incident, so I wouldn't hold it against the hotel.

The Melbourne Foodie Culture walking tour was excellent. Unlike some food tours that can be marginal, this one was very good and enjoyable.

The Great Ocean Road – Coastal Spectacular & Wildlife Wonders tour was a lot of fun. We ended up being the only people on the tour and had a wonderful guide who was very knowledgeable and skilled at navigating crowds.

The Island Life tour on Kangaroo Island was really nice and beautiful. One highlight was visiting a sheep station where they cooked fish for us on a beautiful day with perfect weather.

The kangaroo sanctuary visit in Alice Springs was amazing. We got to hold and feed baby kangaroos rescued from traffic accidents, and the sanctuary educates people on kangaroo rescue. It was truly a high point of the trip.

The Sunrise Camel Experience at Uluru was really fun and memorable. It made me want to learn serious camel trekking one day. The overall experience at Uluru was worth the trip with many sunrises, sunsets, dinners, presentations, and light shows.

The Great Barrier Reef day trip was amazing. I thought I had seen amazing reefs before, but this experience proved me wrong with its beauty.

We travel the world at best small inns etc. Azure is world class. Amazing villa and stunning window views with private deck. Staff was incredible and super friendly and helpful. Small bites, canapes, and breakfast was gourmet. Can't wait to go back!

I

I thought the outside was impressive, the inside was amazing Definitely a must do Short but sweet

Loved this location. It was a great hotel for a big city. All the.amenities. Every detail was considered, including.the young men managing the doors were above and beyond in their friendliness and helpfulness.

That building is amazing and the tour guide was knowledgeable and clearly enthusiastic about the subject matter

The blue Mountains are beautiful and we were able to have several stop.s to do different activities. I would’ve liked more self guided time to explore on our own when walking in the rainforest

We also went to the butterfly museum before getting on the sky rail. The scenery was incredible on the sky rail and well worth making this stop.

Everyone participating in the tour was friendly and made it an enjoyable day despite the weather which obviously nobody can control

I didn’t realize how well prepared and user friendly this day would be. You needed no experience and even those with some physical limitations could easily participate

The drive around the rock and the opportunities for several short walks was just a perfect fit

I really liked the small group size and the short hike through the gorge was incredible The sunset breakfast was one of the best meals we had on the tours

The drone and light show was very entertaining and educational and was high-quality

The rooms are very nice

Definitely an Eco lodge with emphasis on preserving the environment. The Reef Room was very nice. Close to the lagoon.

Our guide Lawrence was the best. He was a great guide who is very familiar with the area.

First class food and rooms

The van’s A/C did not seem to be working so he put it on high which was deafening. We still suffered from heat

Were given a room with no air con. Had to ask four times for help and were eventually reassigned to another room.

Character galore. Old and in some cases very old! Our bathroom had been renovated nicely.

The wineries were great but could have been a better tour if the guide was a wine rather then a beer drinker. One stop was all about chi chi shimmery alcohol; it had no place on a wine tour. BTW, Sandlers Wines was the best of the day! Pucs includud.

I’m not one for big group activities like this, and well the boat, the lunch, on the activities themselves were fine. It was the dive staff that made this truly memorable. One of the female staff helped fit my equipment properly, and then helped my husband as well And accompanied him as first time snorkler to help him get an appreciation of what the reef offered. I couldn’t have been more pleased.

Too touristy for me. Food okay The astronomer who spoke was the best part of the evening. The field of light is too contrived.

It was fun if you like being bumped, jostled and bounced to the point of disbelief.

Fundamentally important to trip Would reccommend to be part of anyones tour and think timing as part of first day of trip was good way to start trip Sidney rock as iconic part of Sydney harbor and simultaneously “holy” Aboriginal ground was particularly important! Speaker was good but not inspired Meeting spot waspoorly indicated, hard to find and should be less ambiguous

Scenery in Mossman Gorge phenomena Gondola over rainforest excellent But Train ride thru Barron falls even better Not to be missed!

Guide excellent! The start at the library to give us some cultural background, the places chosen, the order in which we experienced them and the information we received exceeded our expectations. The food choices were all excellent.

Most beautiful drive ever. Terrific guide who knew the route and shared so much interesting information about the areas we were seeing.

The driver was knowledgeable and friendly, knew the industry and vineyards very well and was a huge asset to the tour.

This hotel is centrally located. Hotel personnel where very helpful. It's easy to walk to our parts of the city. Chinatown is right across the street. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
