Our trip was amazing. NZ/Australia are both so beautiful with wonderful people. We had many drivers and guides that were great. I hope I can remember the all. Antony, Zeph, and Ze. Bar help at MSocial, Brayden and Max. Kai on Waiheke. Loved the island and the wine and olive oil tastings. So any beautiful vineyards and the tile work at Casita Miro is stunning.Our driver in Queenstown, Chris, was wonderful. Very friendly and engaging. We loved the Rees. So comfortable with beautiful views. The gondola ride is something I feared but did it anyway and so glad I did. Stunning views and the buffet at Stratosfare was over the top. We had hoped to do the stargazing but evidently it was a separate ticket. It was cloudy and drizzly so we didn't miss much. The full day funyak /jetboat was a blast. Phil, Jimmy, Alex, Dave and Ross were so fun and very competent. We really enjoyed the day with them. There are not enough words to describe Doubtful sound. Breathtaking for sure. We were fortunate enough to have been blessed with clear, cold weather. Captain Dave was available and inviting. After conquering all the stairs at Onsen, the soak was very relaxing. We got a little mixed up at the airport going from Queenstown to Sydney but eventually got to the correct terminal and got to Sydney on time. Cindy mey us there. She had little welcome bags for us with a cool cloth and some mints. Very sweet. She was full of information and very welcoming. We had to shuffle our itinerary due to bad weather and all involved were more than helpful and accommodating. We were so glad we had followed your advice and added the extra day in Port Douglas. If we hadn't the Great Barrier Reef day would have been missed.. Mia was our guide for the Daintree, day and night. More beauty. She clearly loved sharing her passion for this area with us. Our start in Sydney was a bit confusing trying to get on the correct boat for our dinner cruise. Several people in the area tried to help us find the tall ship. Once we did we were a bit disappointed. The tall ship was smaller than expected, and dinner was only so-so. It seems like the company switched out the boats. One of our party couldn't eat any of the food due to tomato allergy and everything had tomatoes (other than potato salad). That said, the views and sunset were magnificent. If I remember correctly the name of the boat was the Coral Trekker. Our Sydney tour was good. John was great. We loved the Opera House tour and My Fair Lady was spectacular. We had John again for our full day in the Blue Mountains. We loved it. Lots of information, lots of stunning overlook stops. We stopped for lunch at Boiler House. The food was great but staff not very friendly. Kangaroo Island was as beautiful as I remember it. The Sea Dragon was very nice and the staff was great, Makenzie, Lucky, Tomas and others. We were under the impression that we would pick our own activities but upon arrival were were given an itinerary which didn't include any of the things we had picked to do. We worked it out with Makenzie and had a great time. Tasmania was our last stop. Not sure of the drivers name who picked us up at the airport as he never introduced himself. He loaded our bags into the van and drove us to the hotel without saying much of anything. Much unlike all the other drivers we had. We loved the day on Bruny Island with Ben and our time at MONA. We had the same driver back to the airport at the end of our stay. Spoke a bit more but was a bit hassled because of an earlier airport pick up that ran into problems. All in all our trip was amazing. There were a few issues with the app and what was in the app not matching what was in the printed material. All the stays were great except the apartment in Port Douglas. Seemed older and not very clean.
Thank you for everything
