Life’s a Beach – Quy Nhon, Vietnam
We escaped the busyness of Hoi An to explore Quy Nhon but rather than stay in the city, we wanted a beach escape to spend our down time. Life’s A Beach was the perfect choice.

Read MoreJenkins Street Guesthouse is divine. Housed in a historic building in the centre of a charming Aussie country town, it’s a country B&B that would suit the fussiest of guests.
Read MoreThis little place is just down the lane from our house so we popped in to have a look around. It’s adorable!
Read MoreLocated down a long (100 metres), dark and narrow alley, carrying luggage in/out isn’t easy but the neighbours are friendly and it does have loads of local character. It’s in a terrific spot, close to everything and it can be a little noisy but it is a residential area in a big city so it wasn’t so bad for us. Except for the rooster!
Read MoreSometimes you research, read reviews and book accommodation and still find that it’s not exactly what you thought it would be. And other times you’re blown away and can’t believe your luck. Our stay at Azumi Villas was the later. We stayed for a considerable time and there was not one single negative about Azumi. In fact, the property and the staff exceeded our expectations on all occasions.
Read MoreWe had a function in Newcastle recently so given the location of The Grand Hotel and the many positive reviews online, it was an easy choice. We weren’t disappointed. There are many different room categories and the level of amenities relates to the price (as you would expect) with some rooms larger, sharing facilities, etc.
Read MoreA pleasant stopover in a lovely town. Check in was smooth, staff here are friendly and happy to share recommendations for wineries and restaurants. Rooms are spacious and well maintained with a large bathroom and a well provisioned kitchenette (quality coffee and plunger!).
Read MoreA terrific little place! Warm welcome, clean and modern furnishings with a well stocked little kitchenette. Firm bed, crisp sheets and soft pillows, fluffy towels and boutique toiletries are not normally something I would associate with a motor lodge so lots of bonus points here. It’s a long walk to shops or restaurants but it is quiet and taxis are easy to get if you choose to have a few drinks.
Read MoreExactly as stated – trendy, waterfront apartment. Compact, modern with a nice little sitting area and well located, overlooking the Viaduct so lovely views and close to everything. Great for us as we were in town to socialise but the noise from revellers at night could be a little disturbing for some. It had everything we needed – iron, hair dryer, glasses, coffee/tea.
Read MoreAfter deciding to do a stopover in Beijing, we specifically looked for accommodation with some character and local flavour. Double Happiness didn’t disappoint. When we arrived, our room category was overbooked but the staff went out of their way to sort the problem and as they were open and honest with us, we were more than happy to assist.
Read MoreStaff are by far the best thing about the Hilton Chongqing. It’s in a strange location but not at all difficult as the metro is only a 5 minute walk. Certainly one of their older properties and even though it was obviously well built in its day, it is starting to show signs of wear.
Read MoreThis was my first time to Guangzhou but my husbands 5th and his 3rd time at The Leeden Hotel. He originally chose this hotel based on its affiliation with the International Import Export Fair and availability of shuttle buses. Now being familiar with the city’s transport network, the shuttle buses are no longer a high priority but The Leeden is still his preferred choice.
Read MoreGreat location, terrible service
Just on the fringe of the restaurant and shopping district, and at the base of the Menara Tower, we chose the Oasia Suites based on location and were not disappointed in this respect. The property was clean and quiet, our two bedroom apartment was well laid out and nicely decorated, beds were comfortable but unfortunately that where the positives ended.
Read MoreWe chose The Paragon based on location and the fact that it has a pool. Although the pool was nice enough, we didn’t use it in the end but with sights, restaurants, bars and shopping nearby, the location is definitely a winner.
