Hi Melissa & Faye,
We had a wonderful time, everything worked out perfectly. I thought the Sydney Harbor hotel was in the perfect location for getting to the Circle Quay/Harbor and downtown events. The concierge was very helpful and the view of the Opera House was memorable. We took a trip to the Blue Mountains and had a great time. The bus tour was fun and the Bridge Climb is a "must do" in Sydney. Wildfire Restaurant in The Rocks was great and the The Quay Seafood Chinese Restaurant was surprisingly good.
In Cairns we took the Poseidon reef trip and I highly recommend it. The hotel there was great. We did have to hassle for king size beds. But it only took an hour and we ate while we waited so no big deal. We marveled at Fox Bats that landed in the hotel's trees, flipped upside down and crawled up and down the branches.
The Gold Coast is unrivalled. I have spent a lot of time at Destin, Florida and Gulf Shores, Alabama and though these were huge beach developments but they have nothing on the Gold Coast. The hotel there and the Ocean Premium Rooms were the best of the best.
Overall were would not change anything and the weather was wonderful. Australia is a fantastic place to visit.
Two recommendations. Consider having breakfast included in all room reservations. Breakfast is expensive in AU. We had the 45 dollar buffet included in the room charge at one hotel which was a good idea. Overall we would make no changes, had a great time, and highly recommend your service. My mom and her brother are traveling to AU and New Zealand in January. I will give you her contact info.
Thanks,
C. & D. Christian
