Intro

Melbourne, AustraliaJoined in Aug 2007

My partner and I both love to travel overseas on holidays but we also enjoy returning home to magnificent Melbourne (Brighton beach in Melbourne - profile photo). We select our hotels on location primarily, so we can explore most sights on foot, and also love a hotel by the sea or with a great view. Trip Advisor has served us well in all our choices.
