Family Holidays to London – review

For many Australians heading to Europe, London is their first port of call, and for first time travellers and particularly those with children, it’s a great place to start. The United Kingdom allows you to ‘ease into’ a European holiday as there are no language barriers and the English drive on the same side of the road to us, so the transition from life as they know it back in Australia isn’t too difficult for most kids. Add in the fact that your kids will already be familiar with lots of London’s major attractions and it makes for a perfect place to begin your European adventure.

Katoomba for Kids – Review

A weekend holiday with kids might seem like an impossible idea but Sydney has an incredible array of things to see and do, just a few hours’ drive away. One of the most popular is the Blue Mountains – just an hour and a half from the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s CBD. The Mountains are a fantastic place to discover our colonial heritage in the art galleries and antique shops that populate the mountain towns.

Hamilton Island with kids – Review

We have just spent 5 nights at Hamilton Island in the Whitsunday Islands in the June/July holidays. We went with our two kids, Oliver, 6 and Harry,4. It was a perfect and easy spot with little ones and for us. Even though it was winter, it was still warm enough to swim and play on the beach. There is a kids club, relaxation centre (massages etc), off island adventures etc – something for everyone. The kids ate free which was a bonus as well.
