Day trips from Byron Bay- What to do if you are visiting Byron Bay
Byron Bay is a fantastic place to visit but there is so much to to within the area. But you might find yourself with extra time so i would encourage you to explore the area. I travelled in October and found a number of day trips that were easy to do using Byron Bay as a base.
So ensure you get out and travel more and make the most of your time!

Is it worth going to Exmouth? | Exploring Western Australia and what to do and see in Exmouth
มุมมอง 1.6K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
After visiting the east cost of Australia last year i wanted to see what all the fuss was about when it came to Exmouth. This tiny little town was established in the 1960's and is perfectly placed for those who want to visit the Ningaloo reef. I never thought i would prefer the west coast of Australia but the nature, animals, and lack of people made it the perfect place for me to visit. If you'...

Reef View Hotel | Australia - An HONEST review!
มุมมอง 4.7K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video is my own opinion on the hotel. I'll always be honest with you guys. Hamilton island is lovely but sadly it wasn't for me. I would say its more of a place for families than a romantic destination, but perhaps that is just due to the hotel i stayed in. I am glad i got to see it, and my only regret is that i didn't manage to get to see Whitehaven beach in the Whitsundays. I went over t...

Hard Rock Hotel Maldives- Video Diary including room tour
I appreciate you sharing your experience in such an honest way.
I really appreciate your honesty.
Lune is on trend so expensive. There are many other bakeries in and around Melbourne that offer great croissants and other pastries.
What sort of PRINCESS are you ? Please get over yourself. This place is pure HEAVEN. Oh, Bye the way the hotel you stayed in ONLY has SEA FACING views. Every single pool has shades so dont run down Hamilton Island. There is plenty of Buggies everywhere. As you said yourself you are ‘a Passenger Princess’.Just wondering WHY did you go if all you do is complain about the HEAT (& everything else). That’s exactly why people go there Princess. You said you’ll be back - WHY when you have so many complaints?? WE LOVE YOU HAMILTON IS, KEEP UP ALL YOUR FANTASTIC WORK, THAT’S WHY YOU ARE A WORLD CLASS RESORT. THANK YOU…
@@adrienneobrien3664 I think you misunderstood the point of the video. If you're being charged above and beyond for a hotel room you expect certain standards and the ones i experienced in my opinion did not reflect the price I paid. Perhaps you are financially more well off than I, but I did not feel it was good value for money and I wouldn't want to lie to the people that watched my video. It wasn't a bad hotel but I don't think the quality justifies the prices they charge.
You must be a woman of means-The Nayara charges a Kings Ransom to stay there!!!!
❤
Nice spots, glad this came on my feed, im travelling dec
@@Chungus67 thank you.
Very good video, Amelia
Great review. If I go here with my 74yr old mum can we walk it all rather than cycle?
@karenbraddock5738 yes you can it's very very easy to walk everywhere, it's just faster by bike.
@@amelia.explores Thankyou! Also do you know the difference between the premium all inclusive and normal all inclusive? And is it worth it?
@karenbraddock5738 when I went. Premium inclusive did not exist. But looking on their website the difference is that that you get some gifts, more alcohol selection, credit at the rock spa and an excursion etc.. If you look on their website and select meal plans it shows you the difference. Personally I wouldn't think premium is worthwhile because I wouldn't use any of the additional but everyone's different so just see what's best for you.
There is rock everywere?
How much did yiu pay for it?
your nose reminds me of Wicked the musical
@daxdaxy3612 man that's mean.
Okay review with a lot of fuucing British opinions that were not needed. Hard Rock Hotel is pretty cool though. Fake island is sad.. No reef and no feeling of nature.
The west coast is so crowded with tourists you have to book 12 months ahead . You're just hoteling it . Definitely not the way to go.
@jasonbarnes5605 it was super empty when I travelled there were not many people there at all. I also only booked 1 month in advance and there was plenty of space.
Why was white haven cancelled? We’re only going for a couple days so I’m trying to decide if I should book that first so we have a chance to go the next day if it doesn’t workout
@@alexhewitt6500 there was too much wind or something so the boat couldn't go
wingeing pom
These hotels make huge profits, if you're charging people over and above for something, then you need to provide a level of service that's adequate to that Expecting to get what you pay for is not 'whinging', which I assume is what you meant by your misspelling. If you're looking for me to lie, perhaps my channel isn't for you.
this is nice. plan to visit there next year. question I have is do I have to schedule trip by speed boat to and from Hard Rock? Thanx in advance
Yes you will have to if it's not booked as part of your package when you book your flights
@@amelia.explores thanks a bunch for the reply...
Lovely video review thanks.
I finished watching this, and this is definitely not worth coming. Well at least for me
Not to mention that you are alone and your pool is big, if your neighbours would have been a family and they pay the same as you did and got that tiny swimming pool that would have been really disappointing.
I agree, I'm not sure what category of room they had.
Melbourne has gone downhill over the years - I’m so glad I left there. Its “liveability” has declined a lot over the last decade or more and the weather is really lousy.
Bluebird, would like to know who owns that & their association with Caribou (properties) people, because MELS (a coming together point for locals & visitors alike for 40 + years) It seems mels.had the rug pulled from under them (the heritage building that is now bluebirds) for a posh place that would pay higher rent, wld bills (where mels was put) was a skanky joint owned by caribou properties as I recall. Mels in that old building WAS much of what made banff, we used to go there at any given time of day, queues on the street at 7 am for breakfast, a lunch special having just landed at calgary a few hours before, after a transatlantic flight& to just unwind in a friendly place was to walk to mels for a blue cheese burger & some coffee before the jet-lag wiped us out, ..as wild bills had stairs to climb I wonder what happened to all those local OAP's like the 80+ year old Canadian royal air force WW2 pilot who used to walk fdom the traders on the other side of the bridge (by the first nations museum) for his lunch, mels was accessible to all by its walk in location, wheelchairs, sports injured, broken legs, baby buggies, I anticipate caribou's forcing mels out for bluebirds has had a massive knock on effect in the community. (+ notably you didn't visit it on this video either, ..case in point)
What are the prices in store (food and drink) and what in restaurants? Offer the hotel daily excursions?
I think I mentioned the prices in the video. I would only go all inclusive as it's so expensive per meal otherwise. I'm not sure about excursion prices but it's probably up on their website.
@@amelia.exploresi didnt see
@@amelia.exploreshi can I ask you something? The restaurants you were in are they part of all inclusive ?
@@itsme3550 yes they were.
@@amelia.explores wow that’s pretty amazing most of the time these holidays only offer buffets. Thanks that’s really good, I wonder is there limitations to the alcohol on all inclusive or can you drink as much as you want. Were you on all inclusive or all inclusive premium ? I’m eying this up for me and the mrs for Valentine’s Day.
Saw the album "Some girls ". You had me.
Great taste! 🤘
Your country provides complete integrity with its simple cultural structure, healthy, good and friendly people, the broadcast flow is very natural and understandable, thank you.❤❤
nahhhhh too many anti covid people living there, plus they dont have a harbour only a brown dirty river.
I would love to stay here, but a bit pricey. Thanks for the tour anyway!
Hi we’re staying here soon. Do you happen to remember if there was a hair dryer in the room ?
Yes there was :)
Just saw this beautiful place you visited. Stunning! Haha... I've got to get to Australia first!
Is this country in your opinion as beautiful as Australia? From what all you've seen.
@wdwbound3298 it's very different I dont think you can compare the two.
@@amelia.explores Thanks again for your insight yesterday. I'm really excited about going there. Not looking forward to the 20 hour total air time!
@@amelia.explores Did you ever see what I was talking about with Elsa? I guess millionaires want to be comfortable too. I hate that a lot of people give her grief over it. It doesn't affect them in anyway. I'm sure it's probably from other countries. It's wierd how others see what the locals don't!
Thanks for the nice Video❤ we will be there in june for our honeymoon. Can you tell me the name of the hotel app?
It's called the blue app by TUI
This is a really well made/written video, well done.
Excellent video of Brisbane. Unfortunately many people from overseas think that the only place in Australia is Sydney but it's a very expensive place to travel and there are so many other states and territories to visit. Well done.
Thanks, I'm off to western Australia soon so will be nice to compare
RPatz fav dino?! Get outta here! 😂😂😂
Bill Bailey says, forget the east coast. Western Australia cracks open your soul. Fwiw…
I'll find out soon enough!
@@amelia.explores WA lol TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot there.
@@DanielKing-dk5nrPerth city is dull as.
I live in Melbourne and agree Stalignites the restaurant is overrated. Also puffing billy tourist trap. Fitzroy and Brunswick and Stkilda are cool places
It was a little overrated I'm not sure it justified the queue out the door. I didn't get to see St kilda but I wish u had done.
You'll have to pack an AC/DC DVD for the trip back. I recommend live at River plate .
You really should go to Western Australia I am sure you would enjoy it. Thank you for your content I agree with some of your comments on Sydney although you can get a poor meal anywhere. Personally I don't understand the spoilt comment.
@thrinaxadon Oh yes of course, sydney had amazing food! I only had one bad experience. And yes I'm off to WA very soon and excited to see it!
Wheres the sydney video?
I'm still editing it! I'm sorry. I have a 9-5 job so it's really hard editing in my evenings. I'm hoping to get it up by next Sunday x
Ive never heard the kookaburra joke that was hilarious & a very good aussie exploring imoression 👌😂
Really wonderful video with great tips.
Thanks, I've had loads of comments about the bad sound 😟 so I'm glad you liked it.
You really need to learn how to balance your audio!
Yes sorry someone else said that too! I'm working on it
Any chance you could tell me which part was particularly bad so I can test it?
th-cam.com/video/VDBVelwVUVo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5J3RXhViC9Mh3BM3
St Kilda has small boat tours to see the penguins
Oh do they? I'll keep that in mind for next time!
Moved to brisbane from Melbourne Never looked back
Hamilton Island used to be such a pretty place, but sadly once somewhere gets "discovered" it's downhill from there & the crowd type changes. There are many other islands & beachside towns that are stunning, chill & with fabulous food.
I know, I do agree. Hopefully I can find some of these other places.
Thank u. Good to no this. !
Hi was it all inclusive
Hello, no it wasn't. I just had bed snd breakfast booked
Crosonts.. just go to Coles 3 for about 3$ l only eat crosonts with ham and cheese in it..city food is not that good you do have pick the right resterants you might as well get a pub meal or maccas
Thank you so much for your video. Tourism and migration are so important to Australia as most Australians work in service related industries. Australians are also great travellers and work hard to improve the experience of being in Australia. Please come back and also keep promoting all the great places that you travel.
Thanks :) I'm returning to Australia in a few weeks, this time the east coast. I'm excited to see some of the more remote areas!
Glad you enjoyed Melbourne. Best city in Australia (and I've lived in a few!) Stalactites is a part of the old Greek quarter in the CBD. It's an institution, but definitely not flash 😅 Plenty of other much nicer places to try. Next time, try the Yarra Valley wineries instead of Puffing Billy, and venture outside the CBD to an inner suburban shopping & cafè strip like Brunswick Street 😊 The Twelve Apostles are a fair drive from Melbourne; best to stay overnight at a seaside town like Torquay or Apollo Bay.
