Retro Review – Gulnara Guesthouse, Tashkent
Time for another RETRO Review, where we shift back through time to many years back now and I write about a place I stayed at which has remained in the corners of my memory for one reason or another. Today, I’m writing about Gulnara Guesthouse where I stayed in June 2011 when I was in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
Accommodation Review – Albert Guesthouse and Mills, Daylesford, Victoria
Last December my wife and I stayed in this unique guesthouse in Daylesford. Here's my review!
Accommodation Review – Las Casas de Los Mercaderes, Seville, Spain
Hi all, and it’s review time again. Slowly reviewing the places I stayed at (and other things) from last year’s trip, all the time worrying that once I’m done – well, I’m DONE.

Accommodation Review – Renion Park Hotel
My stay in Almaty, Kazakhstan, was another very brief stop on my way to explore more of Central Asia, and with a lack of hotels near the airport I was consigned to schlepping my way into town for an evening and then schlepping back out to the airport the next morning for my 11am flight …
Hotel Review – Mantra Legends Hotel, Surfer’s Paradise
I booked the Mantra Legends just over a month before heading to Surfer’s Paradise on the Gold Coast, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I got a pretty decent rate (although websites do such a great job at making you THINK you got a good rate, sometimes it’s pretty hard to tell) at …

Ahh it’s so close to Christmas and the end of the year it must be time to do a few ‘2018 in review’ style posts, right? Today I want to reflect on some of the awesome accommodation I’ve been privileged to stay in this year. I’ve had three getaways or trips this year, a very …
