February 15, 2016

Long before people were jamming to Macklemore, thrift stores and op-shops were much loved by many Aussies who love to recycle and reuse from their wardrobes.

GREEN IN ROOM 23 | COMO HOTEL PERTH

January 31, 2016

You may think that it’s a little strange that if you visited the Como Hotel Perth’s website at their early stage that there are no photos galleries of the hotel.

MOST AWARDED BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN TOWN

December 27, 2015

There are so many fancy hotels in Australia: Hilton, Mantra, Ovolo, Novotel, Sofitel, Accor… these luxury chained hotels are like Superman, Batman, Ryan Gosling, Tom Cruise, you will (have to) see them once a year with your friends, lovers, family, bffs, bbfs,  just to satisfy your own needs or theirs, but once a while or once a life time, you have to try something different, aka The Gift? or Knock Knock? Just like Islington Hotel Hobart, when u read about it before you going in, you be like “yeah yeah yeah, oh one another luxury boutique hotel.” but once you left, the memories does stand out from all others…  So team Bloggers Boyfriend experienced this most luxury and historic boutique hotel in Hobart recently,  where Tasmania experience just feels as good as the movie GIFT, without the creepy parts of course. or maybe you can add that when you playing games in that crunchy floored long-hall in the lobby.

Combining relaxation and leisure fun, make sure you stay at Novotel Oasis Resort Cairns.

For Visitors to Cairns, I suggest to stay at Novotel Cairns on Lake street, I heard it has the biggest swimming pool in cairns, so which is worth playing with.
