Australia Villas | Places to Stay in Australia

May 1, 2023 Velvet Mowry

Australia is as varied as it is enormous-- it is home to thriving cities, vast wilderness, and earnest, friendly people. Sydney is for sophisticates, with its famous opera house and annual Sculpture By the Sea outdoor art exhibits. Port Douglas makes a great base for snorkeling or diving the Great Barrier Reef, and quaint lighthouses keep vigil along the beaches of Byron Bay. Melbourne is a hub of rousing cricket activity, and the limestone pillars of the Pinnacles Desert are a natural wonder.

Looks good in photos. Rude staff, bad drainage on sites. Staff don't care.

Reviewed By 376nikitar

Overpriced for the service you receive. Will not be coming back. Sites had poor drainage meaning out site was flooded, cones were put up around quarter of our site so we couldn't use it anyway. The things for kids to do are good but that is it and I would not be coming back.

Wonderful place, friendly staff, convenient location

Reviewed By bris_girl80

We stayed here recently for our honeymoon and were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived and were shown around our villa, up until the moment we left, we were treated like family. On arrival, we received a complimentary breakfast pack (eggs, bread, butter, milk and juice along with an assortment of condiments) - oh, and a bottle of sparkling wine! The accommodation was very comfortable; two king size rooms, an en-suite with massive shower off one of the rooms and a shower over spa tub in another. The lounge was equipped with dvd player (and hundreds of dvds to borrow from the office) and with free WIFI internet (which can be patchy with iphones but we got around that problem). Laundry was $5 per load; $5 for washing and $5 for clothes drier (there was no need for the drier as the weather was perfect and clothes could be hung on the line provided in the cabin). The resort provided a rental car complimentary (with only the insurance to be paid daily) which was very useful to explore the island. There was a heated spa on-site which was lovely to take a dip in. There were three little dogs on site who belonged to the owner; the dogs were so friendly. I can't thank Gail and Rael enough for our wonderful stay. We saw Gail and Rael most days on their walk past our cabin and were always with a smile on their face.

Great location

Reviewed By Jewel236

Great location practically on the beach. Bathrooms beautifully clean but big surprise was the heated floor 10/10! The one negative was the camp kitchen was locked up at 9pm. Pretty annoying to not have access but a minor complaint. Kangaroos abound throughout the park but appear fairly tame.

We felt welcome even before we arrived! Elaine’s thoughtful preparations and attention to details ensured we had a very comfortable stay. A cosy relaxing space to unwind in and a great location from which to explore the Barossa. Enjoying a mother and daughters weekend, the Loft had everything we needed for relaxing in and chilling out. From bathrobes and candles to wine, cheese and stocks of firewood we enjoyed a very special retreat. We will be back!

A Pleasant Green Stay

Reviewed By SydneyAsiaTraveller

I had no idea that this hotel was as green by surroundings and as green by practice as it was. Surrounded by green bush and grasslands, you wake up seeing Kangaroos hopping past your front door and past your car as if they were your neighbors. We saw rabbits and many wildlife outside our room. It was a green and off grid hotel by practice as they farmed their water by rain water and solar electricity. I was pleasantly surprised by all this setup and very impressed. The hotel room was modern and generally clean. Their manager Matt was awesome to deal with and always helpful. We felt very much at home staying at this hotel. The only down side on this trip was a slight flood in our bath tub. But overall the stay was great and my whole family really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back!

Alice's Cottages

Our cottages are tastefully themed in old world charm... from England to Ireland to Scotland to Wales... from the glamorous world of French Boudoir to the mythical world of Camelot. We provide cosy and luxurious stays... with lovely wood fired ambiance for the evenings... and a hearty breakfast basket for the mornings.

Loved our stay. I think this place has the most info I've ever seen. Any questions you might have are all covered in the information brochure. The breakfast basket was amazing and so plentiful and the free washer and dryer just a welcome bonus. It's old creaky and quirky and we loved it.
