Springboard Vacations

Unique design but it’s dated. Served it purpose. They know they have a captive audience and treat you as such in the restaurant and bar.

Oh boy this place needs to be taken off the list - 🐜 ants in the room, waited over 15 minutes for someone to check me into the hotel (no staff present at all), when they want to fine you because steam from bathroom might set off fire alarm - then it’s time to leave this place - fortunately I didn’t have this issue but why put it on the hotel guest?!

Rustic and nice. Centrally located with easy access to other venues in the immediate area. Bus shuttle was nice to use. Staff friendly.

Good option in Perth. - friendly staff and nice rooms. Breakfast was enjoyable.

Early morning but worth the experience.

Wow - even with an overcast night it was a great experience with the sunset, dinner, lecture and tour of the Field of Light.

Great way to get your bearings for walking around the town.

Sunset over the Indian Ocean, followed by seeing the Pinnacles and then stargazing. Definitely worthy the time and effort.

AAT Kings messed my reservation up but they got it right at the end of the day. Double check with your contact to make sure the operator has you booked for the right day!! Day 1 was nice but Day 2 was more active and enriching.

This was one of the best excursions on the trip - definitely do!

This was a beautiful hotel, and its location meant that we could get a quick start to our all-day visit to Waiheke Island! The breakfast spread was incredible. Very comfortable and clean space!

The staff was so accommodating. The apartment was very nice. It lacked any basic food ingredients though. Not even salt was provided, so bring everything you need for using the kitchen. The ultramodern stove was difficult for me also. It was in a great location. Lots of shopping close by. The pool was great.

We loved this hotel. They give you a chocolate chip cookie when you check in. I especially liked the bathroom. It had a very nice shelf that allowed you to have all your toiletries handy. The food was okay, but not great. I wouldn’t advise eating dinner there, but breakfast was fine. It was not in a great location for getting fast food. Not much nearby.

We had a nice large room and a smaller adjoining one. This hotel is not luxurious but it had its charm. The cockatoos visited us faithfully and the kids were delighted by them. There was really only one restaurant that was kid friendly, but we also enjoyed the pizza place. Everything costs extra. Very little is included other than your room. We enjoyed the buggies for one day but didn’t find it necessary for the more than a day. There’s a grocery store down by the wharf which was nice.

The rooms were super nice. We had our best night’s sleep there. Wonderful to have the washer and dryer there because everything was dirty by the end of our trip.

We had the best guide ever. Rosie was very friendly and great with the kids. They loved the mushroom experience at the National Park. We had a wonderful lunch at a local cafe and Rosie had us singing the Kookaburra song and we kept singing it for the entire rest of our trip. The kids loved Bonorong so much and Rosie knew all of the information that the guides there had to offer. The kids even got to pet a wombat! It was great.

The Full Day Desert Safari Day Cruise was a bit misleading as it wasn't quite a 'safari'. It mainly involved bus rides, but was still enjoyable. My grandson particularly loved sliding down the sand hills, which made it a memorable experience. Transportation back was a bit tricky as it was hard to secure an Uber. Renting a car might have been a better choice for this tour.

Great location!

The room was huge and well located in town

Wow! The view out the window! Ski lodge vibes.

Beautiful hotel. We stayed here for the view but from our room it was obstructed by another building unfortunately. Great restaurant! Amazing staff who literally do it all - bar tend, shuttle driver, receptionist. Only complaint was too far to walk every time. About 40 min to town center.

Glad we made the waterfall overlook. Not sure it would have been worth it if we didn’t. Same drive as Glenorchy tour and funyak tour.

Great way to start our NZ adventure

Amazing!!! Just blown away by detail and the ability to go inside a hobbit hole!

Fun way to get to the top. Great view and nice restaurant

My adult kids loved the cultural show. They were worried it would be in some way disrespectful to the Māori people and were really impressed with the care and authenticity of the production. Plenty of food!

This was very informational and we enjoyed the stroll around the geothermal area after our tour was done.

One of my favorite experiences of the whole trip.

We could have skipped this. Nice guide but basically got to see all of the same area on funyak trip

We had a partially cloudy night )4 stars because of that) but had an amazing guide to make up for it. What a great set up they have!

Well organized experience

Liked it much more than I expected from the pics! Definitely worth doing.

Beautiful area to zip line through.

So beautiful! So much fun!

Beautiful cruise out to station. Enjoyed the sheep show.

This lodge was absolutely awesome! We were so spoiled and pampered. The guides were so passionate about Uluru and the culture. We saw and learned so much that it made us feel like we understood a little bit about the history of Australia.

Our guides were so passionate about their island! They both grew up on Kangaroo Island and knew a lot of insider information that we would never have found out alone. They took us to lots of places where koalas, wallabies and kangaroos lived in their natural habitat. We also heard lots of interesting stories about the island.
