Everything about Australia is vast. It’s as wild as it is beautiful, with crimson outback sands and multi-hued reefs surrounding super cities like Sydney and Melbourne. Bordered by the Indian Ocean to the west and the South Pacific Ocean to the east, Australia is home to some of the world’s best beaches, including Bondi in Sydney or Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. If you’ve got a bucket list, then Australia is a goldmine of once-in-a-lifetime activities. Snorkelling by the Great Barrier Reef, cage diving with great white sharks, driving the Great Ocean Road and camel rides on Cable Beach to name just a few. The majority of Australians live in one of the stylish cities, such as glamourous Sydney has the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge, or the sport-mad cultural capital of Melbourne. Adelaide in the south is a frenzy of festivals while the West boasts Perth – boasting ceaseless sunshine and a laidback lifestyle. If you’re backpacking through the outback, there are plenty of campsites, caravan parks and hostels scattered all around. There’s also a good selection of B&Bs and guesthouses, but if you want to take it up a notch, most cities offer a number of serviced apartments and luxury hotels.

Guest review
if you are travelling the great ocean road and you are looking for an extraordinary boutique hotel experience, drift house is the way to go. the rooms are large and designed with attention to detail, forming part of what feels like a little design campus in port fairy. the dinner we had at the hotel was outstanding, as was breakfast. we received the friendliest and most personal treatment from maddie, and it almost felt like leaving a friend after only two days.
