Fabulous trip, well organised and excellently supported by Mark Vyner. Not our 1st nor will it be our last with Supertravel. A relationship that has lasted years.
We had a brilliant time. The Anahita course was excellent and the resort great. Lee, as always was super helpful and a great way to spend the first 2 weeks of my retirement!
First rate service... as always
As always the trip went very smoothly with no issues attributable to Supertravel at all.
Mark’s organisation and attention to detail were first class. The hotel (Le Telfair) is outstanding, great staff, lovely rooms, great choice of eating options on the Gourmet Bliss package. The main golf course Le Chateau is a fabulous course that I’d never get tired of playing, and the brand new course La Reserve is a true championship course, amazing views of the ocean from every hole, but genuinely tough!
Absolutely amazing customer service from Guy. Knowledgeabl, helpful and thorough. We have already booked another holiday through Guy at Supertravel, thank you
Another excellent golf holiday arranged by Guy at Supertravel Golf, when everything worked perfectly again! Thanks.
As usual, Lee Birkett was super efficient, helpful and managed our holiday queries in a friendly and speedy manner. Thank you Lee!
Many thanks for everything - we had a really great holiday.
Excellent trip - the hotel fantastic. Golf courses excellent. The transfers made our journeys run very smooth.
Another excellent trip tailored to our requests by our travel manager Lee. Almost a year since the booking was made and delivered just had we had hoped for with that little personal touch that makes a big difference. Two hotels visited, both who made the extra effort to make us feel that bit more special for our anniversary holiday. Thank you!!
Brilliant experience having holiday booked via Supertravel. Mark Vyner is a great chap. Many thanks!
Great service from super travel golf for our trip to Mauritius. Every part of the booking process was perfect from start to finish. Kept us informed and followed up with phone calls to check everything was perfect. I would recommend anyone to use them.
Supertravel deliver every time. Lee Birkett is extremely efficient and knowledgeable. He keeps in touch right up to the day before our departure to ensure that we are happy with everything. We have used Supertravel and Lee for many years and will continue to do so.
Lee was extremely helpful - with advising on an affordable family golf holiday. He answered any questions during the lead up to the holiday and was super helpful. It was a fantastic holiday and all went very smoothly.
Sydney can be summed up by one of its best loved sports - surfing. This city is athletic, daring, dazzlingly sunny and always a breath of fresh air.
We Britons have a long affinity with Australia but it's only when you arrive in Sydney that you appreciate why Charles Darwin said in 1836 that 'ancient Rome in her imperial grandeur would not have been ashamed of such an offering'.
For all Australia's vast spaces and extraordinary wildlife, it is Sydney that leads the way when it comes to iconic architecture, world-class dining and unabashed rivalry with the Old Country. Still, its renowned love of the outdoors is everywhere. On morning runs from our extraordinarily well-sited waterside hotel, the Park Hyatt, we spot power-walking retirees and joggers out in force.
Exertion is a pleasure when it involves such scenery as the spiky Sydney Opera House, the parakeet-filled Royal Botanical Gardens and the smart gastro-wharf at Woolloomooloo.
For less cosmopolitan views, you can walk Sydney's coastline and get some idea of just why Port Jackson is one of the world's greatest harbours. Zipping about on one of the many inexpensive ferries or catching a pricier water taxi from Circular Quay West is a good place to start.
This will take you from the swish waterfront to where you can follow a coastal path wending from Spit to Manly - named after the indigenous manly bearing, according to my guide Ian Wells, of Sydney Coast Walks.
Highlights of our walk include ceremonial aboriginal engravings, more than 1,000 years old, the view of the gap through which British sailors entered the harbour in 1788, and a curious water dragon lizard, which joins us for lunch.
Next day we guide ourselves from one of Sydney's landmarks - show-stopping Bondi Beach - along the Pacific facing east coast to Coogee. It's Anzac Day, a national holiday, and everyone is celebrating, surfing, swimming, loafing. We have a splurge of prawns in the Bucket List cafe behind the beach.
It's an easy walk to Coogee, but we take all afternoon, enjoying the skilful paddle boarders and the swimming pools built into the rocks.
Climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge is hard to beat if you have the head for it. A £20 bet that I won't make it (I'm scared of heights) keeps me on track - just about.
Combining a city break in Sydney with a couple of days in the Blue Mountains, a mere 45 miles away, is a wonderful way to see just some of Australia's hugely varied landscapes. As we toil up Bell's Road, which links Richmond to Mount Tomah, Bell and Mount Victoria, it sounds like the car has developed a worrying whistle. Not at all. It's the bell birds, which make the most enchanting tinkling tones – even more so when we hear them in situ at Emirates One & Only Wolgan Valley Resort.
Surrounded by prairie grasses, rocky plateaus and forest, it's a fine base. We hear a wombat outside our room at night. Wallabies and kangaroos are just a short cycle ride away, and you can take dusk or night safaris.
On our way back to the city, we stop off to gasp at the Three Sisters rock formation in Katoomba. The Queen came here on her 1954 tour and you can gaze at the three rocks from what is called Elizabeth Lookout.
Another great excursion from Sydney is to the Hunter Valley, home to more than 150 wineries and awash with gourmet restaurants and spa retreats.
This area of lush rolling hills is a two-hour drive north of Sydney. While wine tastings are the big draw, the vineyards also organise an array of events throughout the year, including topline concerts and food, music and art festivals.
Also big attractions are rides on the Hunter Valley steam trains and scenic cruises on the Hunter River.
Our final Australian adventure is a seaplane ride in a Cessna Caravan, arcing down Sydney's west coast to Jonah's restaurant overlooking Whale Beach.
After thudding across the waves, we are off into clear sky, looping across the city, which gleams gloriously below. It is a fitting and thrilling final hurrah.
