I spent a year living in Australia and throughout my time there I booked everything with Cheap AZ. They would help with anything we needed, including booking day trips, car hire, advice about living in the area and a 2 month long trip down the East Coast. We never found a cheaper price elsewhere and the customer service was amazing. I couldn't recommend Cheap AZ highly enough!! Thank you Marnie and Stu!

Catani Gardens

Reviewed By S4nnyBunny

Underrated and sometimes forgotten when visiting St.Kilda beach, but worth coming if you’re nearby if you want some quiet space. As you can see it’s pretty well lit up during night. Plenty of benches, there’s a public toilet, some drinking fountain, a lovely rotunda in the middle and its very well maintained. Nice place to chill or have a picnic.
