Burlington Air BnB (Vermont, USA) – Blue Building with Neighborhood Character
We found our accommodation in Burlington on Air BnB – it is described as Blue Building with Neighborhood Character.
During a trip to see the Fall colours of Vermont in the USA, we decided to visit Burlington and made this booking the day before our visit – we were the first guests to stay in this accommodation.
We chose the property because of its location and value for money.
On arrival we collected our key by entering a code into a key box at the property. The apartment was on the first floor of a quaint timber building (painted blue) – there are steep stairs to climb to reach the apartment.
Stowe Motel & Snowdrift, Vermont, USA
It was very difficult to find reasonably priced accommodation in Stowe on the Columbus Day holiday (Monday, 10 October 2016) however we came across Stowe Motel & Snowdrift – very good value for money.
We booked a 2-Bedroom Fireplace Suite – Room 302. The suite was self contained and very comfortable. We were able to park right outside our suite, so very easy to carry luggage in.
Vacation Village in the Berkshires, Hancock, MA, USA
Vacation Village in the Berkshires is resort-style accommodation – made up of about 20 attractive New England-style timber buildings. Each building has a number of apartments available for guests.
We are visiting in the Fall and the location is very beautiful – we feel miles from the nearest town, there are views of the surrounding countryside and the air smells pure and fresh.
Reception is housed in the main building, which is reached via a large circular driveway. We arrive quite late however there are number of staff on reception to check us in, and they are helpful with information on what to see and do in the area, where to eat, etc.
Holiday Inn Express New York JFK Airport Area
Note: This hotel is now known as Best Western JFK Airport Hotel.
There are many hotels in the immediate vicinity of JFK Airport. We chose Holiday Inn Express based on ratings and value for money.
We had a one-night stay – on the evening of our arrival after a flight from Sydney to New York (via Los Angeles). On arrival at JFK Airport we took the free Air Train to Federation Circle Station where we took a shuttle bus to the hotel.
After a friendly and easy check in at Reception, we proceeded to Room #315 on the third floor, just opposite the elevator. The room was very clean with very comfortable king size bed (we found the pillows to be quite luxurious).
Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa, Broome
We treated ourselves, after nearly four weeks of camping, to three nights at Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa – and loved it!
At Reception we were offered a glass of sparkling wine and booked into Room 367 on the first floor (there is just ground floor and first floor) of the Dragon Flower Wing.
The room was lovely – spacious, nicely furnished with a luxurious feel.
Whalesong Cafe & Campground, Dampier Peninsula, Western Australia
We arrive early evening at Whalesong Cafe and receive a warm welcome from Jacinta, who with her partner, own the Whalesong Cafe and campground.
There are just five camping spots here and we share the very large #5 campsite with our friends who arrived half an hour before us.
We light a campfire, enjoy a delicious dinner and go to bed to the sound of the waves. It isn’t until next morning we realise what a beautiful spot we have ended up in – our campsite is right above the beach with lovely views of Pender Bay and the sunrise is gorgeous.
