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!

Great place to walk the family around a lovely lake. Gets a bit windy at times but generally worth being out and about on a nice day. See ducks, geese and swans whilst walking the dog.

St Kilda Pier

St Kilda Pier is a Melbourne landmark and has traditionally been one of Melbourne's most popular tourist attractions. Providing panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, the pier is a popular destination for strolling, cycling, in-line skating and fishing. St Kilda's Little Penguin colony is well-known for making the breakwater its home, and is a popular tourist attraction. You can view the Little Penguins from the viewing platform at St Kilda Pier or by charter boat. St Kilda Pier has safe wheelchair access, lighting, handrails, drinking fountains, toilets, barbeques and a picnic and playground area. Only 5km from Melbourne CBD, St Kilda is well serviced by public transport. Take the tram from the heart of the city. Alternatively, car parking is available in the vicinity of the foreshore.

I seriously don't bother going to Phillip Island anymore the fairy penguins are right here! It can depend on the night as to how many there are but we have been lucky on most occasions that we have been. There is also a great view of the city from the pier, a great photo opportunity beckons.

F1 - Australian Grand Prix

Long before you arrive, the distant sound of engines screaming will entice you into this iconic Australian event. Be prepared for lots of noise, action, and Australian’s being, well, Australian! This weekend in March brings all of the excitement you would expect when you mix Aussies, fast cars, and abundantly flowing beer. Opt for a luxury VIP experience, or hit the grandstands for a truly authentic experience. While you are there, take the energy of the day into the night and hit up one of the after-parties to enjoy the unique flavor that Melbourne has to offer.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The Australian Grand Prix is usually held in March, making it the first Grand Prix of the season. This year, it will probably be held in November 2021. As last year's Grand Prix was cancelled, let's hope that the corona virus situation is under control by November. It's understood that the teams are seeking clarification of scheduling.

Hotel Esplanade

Your favourite band in The Gershwin Room, pre-gig beers in the Star Wars bar, stumbling in from the seaside… everyone has a story to tell about The Espy. 140 years of stories and secrets are hidden in its walls, from budding romances, to celebrations, break ups and make ups. If the walls could talk, they’d tell some unbelievable tales. A home for many years to Melbourne’s colourful characters, from members of the arts community, to musicians looking for their first big break and the philanthropist, Alfred Felton, who lived and died in The Espy. Since reopening its doors in 2018, every square centimetre of The Espy is now open for your enjoyment, including the fifth level which has never before been open to the public. The reimagined Hotel Esplanade is full of music, arts, cocktails, fun and laughter. To put it simply, there is no pub like it.

I ate with a girlfriend here on Friday night. The staff were absolutely incredible, they were happy to discuss drinks and recommend their favourites from the food menu. They were so happy to have a little chat and were extremely professional whilst doing so. The food was amazing, the flatbread was by far our favourite and dessert of course, those cheesecake stuffed doughnuts were so good! I would have loved a goody bag to take home! Overall the best experience and most amazing food. Thank you for a great evening guys!
