Best breakfasts of my entire trip! They have a great fruit selection and I was blown away by the fresh, ripe, Strawberries served every morning.

We loved this hotel!! The breakfast was great, the staff was wonderful, and it was in the best location. We wished we could have put this hotel in our suitcase and brought it with us the entire trip.

We loved this bnb type experience. It’s remote-ness made for the perfect middle stop on our trip to just spend time together and reconnect. Absolutely stunning views as well. We also ordered the breakfast and dinner package and that was the best decision!

This hotel was pretty old. I think we just had a bad room because they were hosting a large conference at the same time, so those attendees seemed to get the staffs attention and best rooms. The location was great, right by the lake and city center!

We were in the suites and it was a bit weird to open our door and have a random person in one door and then we were in the next. Didn’t love that, but would be great if you were with a group and got both rooms

Great location! It was a fancy place for us which was a treat

The guides we had really made this experience. We have never done a hike like this, it was so unique, put us out of our comfort zone, and was a lot of fun.

This is what I was most looking forward to on our trip and it didn’t disappoint

This was a tough hike, but we loved it! We hiked the entire day, which was about 12-13 miles. The views were incredible

Such a fun experience, even if you haven’t seen the lord of the rings movies (definitely helps to have seen the though)

Great location close to town. Friendly front desk personnel.

Jess did an amazing job in taking us through tunnels and caves to see the glow worms...stunning! She also showed us the southern cross and orion constellations - very knowledgable!

Cool to see the geothermal mud pools, geysers and boiling pools at this location.

Our originally-scheduled time slot of 4:30 had to be changed due to a flight cancellation. Onsen was able to move our time slot to the following day at 9:30pm - which happens to be sunset this time of year. It was stunning. The glass of champagne and chocolates was perfect and 1 hour was a perfect way to end our busy day!!

Super interesting to learn about the design, construction and operations of Sydney Opera House. We enjoyed it so much that we squeezed in a trip back to see a play while we were there (FYI - there are several venues in the Opera House in addition to the Concert Hall).

While I've never seen any Lord of the Rings movies, this was a very interesting and beautiful tour.

Wonderful exposure to Maori culture with the dinner and show. Great job!

The weather the day of our visit was PERFECTION, which I hear is not normal for Milford Sound since it rains there 180+ days a year. We had perfect blue skies and the scenery was gorgeous! The boat tour was awesome! Highly recommend!

One of the highlights of our trip! Anna did an amazing job in leading us to the summit of the bridge - perfectly clear night so we could see the Opera House, Sydney Skyline and wonderful views of boats in the harbor! Definitely recommend!!

Great overlook for Queenstown! Would highly recommend!

Great overview of Sydney! Seeing Bondi Beach and the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge was very cool, among other sights!

Loved this hotel for its location, easy walking distance to our needs and beautiful room view. There was only 1 King sized bed in our room but worked out just fine for the 2 of us travelers. Friendly and helpful staff were an added bonus.

This trip was canceled due to weather but we separately booked the Shotover Jet Boat ride on the Dart River in its place and super happy that we did! This review pertains to the Shotover ride instead. Such a beautiful and pristine area with the river and mountain ranges. Our boat ride was exhilarating and our driver, Hamish, was the best. He knew how to handle that boat and make it dance on the shallow water, coming perilously close to the nearby cliffs and then 360's where possible. Woo-Hoo!

Have seen numerous times on television this iconic masterpiece. To actually be there in person to touch, feel and see the building was a bucket list item. An amazing work of sculpture, art and functionality all rolled into one design.

Yet, another highlight of our trip was going to Rottnest Island. What a blast it was to ride bikes on the well paved paths, snorkel in the beautiful blue waters of the Indian Ocean and see all the cute little Quokka's. Really enjoyed biking around the island and going as far west as possible to Radar Reef and Fish Hook Bay.

This may be one of the best highlights of our trip, actually climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Such a surreal experience where, despite being so high, felt very comfortable, due to our pre-training and strapped securely into the harness. The views were amazing along the way and the stories of the build fascinating.

Having read several books about this area and time, I thought I was mentally prepared for the experience. I was amazed at at how serene and beautiful the area had become over the years. The historical plaques located by the major structures were very informative and helped remind visitors how awful a place it was during its heyday. Very much enjoyed the short harbor cruise as well as the gardens, Such a lovely place now...

Well located hotel (or should a say motel) with excellent service. However we prefer smaller boutique hotels. Too many tour buses drop of their guests at this hotel. Also the pool facility is underwhelming.

Nice rooms with great balconies overlooking the lake.

Great city center, authentic hotel but with small rooms. Also ask for rooms with unobstructed view. Our window looked onto a wall. Great food in the restaurant

Great new hotel with very helpful staf and top restaurant

Great rooms with wonderful view over Mount Cook. It is however pretty much the only game in town. Makes food and beverage a bit pricier. Better book this one with breakfast included. Also, don't book the upgraded rooms, while these are nicer, the lack the balconies of the older wing.

All looks great on paper but the room layout is not great. Pro: spacious living space, well appointed kitchen, OK bathrooms Cons: lack of decent closet space in the rooms, very small rooms, lack of privacy for the primary room, balcony view by the building closer to the lake, location away from the city center. Upon arrival we asked to have a higher floor room as we were looking up on roofs rather than the lake. One similar room was available one floor up (better view but not perfect) subject to a supplement. We paid out of pocket for the supplement. Unfortunately they did not have a larger unit and thus our luggage had to be stored in the living space.

Centrally located in Darling Harbor. Friendly staff and good restaurant option though there is plenty to eat in the near by places.

Nice comfortable hotel with wonderful onsite restaurants. Convenient for trips. Little pricey but comfy.

Wonderful location and friendly staff. Beautiful character considering it was the old treasury building.

Very moderate hotel. Rooms were small and noisy due to train tracks.

Very informative and timely tour! Got to see the opera house and even hear some artists prepping for their show.

Nice cruise around the harbor. Enjoyed going under the harbor bridge the most.

The visit to Calmsley farms was fantastic. My kid loved feeding the kangaroos and seeing them up close. Lunch was very delicious and kept us nourished for the hike. Not spectacular as Grand Canyon and definitely not a must do. Guide was really friendly and knowledgeable

It was a good tour but it was hard to understand the guide and felt like lot of waiting to see few places. Sunset location was not that spectacular.

Fantastic way to see the beauty during sunrise, wapau hike was great, breakfast was quite good too! Best way to see Kata Tjuṯa

Fantastic guide and awesome way to see Koalas, Kangaroos in their natural habitats! Lunch spread was awesome! Wish they had given time for dinner before the cruise back to Adelaide

Definitely a not to miss experience. It’s surreal to see the penguins and the seals.
