Your hotel is an integral part of your holiday experience – all our luxury hotels have been chosen for their location, first class facilities and their continuing track record of excellence in customer service.

Your room will be ready upon arrival and held until our departure – guaranteed.

Not just a standard room at the back of the hotel – our guests have superior deluxe rooms or luxury suites. Most rooms have private balcony, separate bath and shower and separate sitting area.

A room with a view – we reserve rooms with the best ocean, harbour, river or city views.

Full breakfast included each day – we feel this is the most important meal of the day and should be taken at leisure, whether full buffet style or waiter/waitress served.

Inclusive meals – lunches and dinners are included when restaurant choices are limited or we feel you should experience local specialities. You also have plenty of opportunities to choose your own places to eat.

Who better to show you Australia than an Australian? – we only employ expert resident Tour Managers who have many years of experience.

Size does matter and we limit our groups to 24 people – you get a more personal service and we avoid having a negative impact on the environment and local communities we visit.

Laundry is an important issue on a long trip – most of our chosen hotels have laundry facilities.

We take expert care of your luggage – porterage is included in the tour cost and we provide Grus Travel luggage tags for easy identification as well as a complimentary overnight holdall.

Full programme of included excursions – our exclusive itineraries are extremely comprehensive and provide a complete tour without the need for optional excursions at extra cost.

Truly unique Australian experiences – it’s all about discovery, challenge, adventure and learning. We include a fabulous journey on The Indian Pacific Train, a luxury Great Barrier Reef cruise, an exclusive luxury Sydney Harbour cruise and plenty of hands-on interaction with local wildlife in their natural habitat. We also have privileged access to authentic Aboriginal cultural experiences.

Leisurely pacing – we have carefully planned our itinerary with this in mind, making sure you have 2-4 nights in each destination and plenty of free time to relax or explore on your own.
