Australia & New Zealand Luxury Hotel Tips
Australia and
New Zealand have more than their fair share of luxury hotels, but there’s not enough room here to do them all justice. Before you make a trip, here are some facts to take with you about a few of the major cities.
Sydney is
Australia’s oldest and biggest city and considered the “Gateway to
Australia.” The city is on one of the world’s most stunning harbors, which extends on either side in a golden chain of easy-to-reach, inner-city beaches. All of its great attributes are close to the city center, from beaches to national parks.
Melbourne , the capital of the state of
Victoria, is set around the shores of
Victoria's
Port Phillip Bay and boasts a lively and cosmopolitan vibe. The city sits on the
Yarra
River, about 3 miles from the bay.
Auckland is
New Zealand’s largest population center and is located between two enormous harbors and dotted with extinct volcanic cones.
Auckland acts as a gateway to
New Zealand and visitors can explore the islands of the Hauraki Gulf by ferry or charter boat, walk the forest tracks of the
Waitakere
Ranges, follow wine trails and enjoy the sea.
