Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    One of those places you must go if in Sydney!
    It’s really a bucket list place and a really stunning piece of architecture from the outside especially. We ended up going inside to which is easy to do through the main entrance and they allow you to walk around and look about at all the history that’s taken place over the years there (not inside the actual theatre/ opera area). On top of that we found it to be a great area in general around the opera house with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars which are all fairly priced even with being in such a prime location.

    Spent three weeks in Australia and had a wonderful time. Sydney Harbour is truly magnificent with so many places to visit. You can criss cross the harbour using the tap on top off ferries using your debit/credit card or opal card. We spent less than 40€ for a week, including Sydney Trains to and From Gosford.

    The harbour is buzzing with too many wonderful attractions to list. We loved it.

    All visitors to Melbourne should make use of the historic tram to circle around the cod . It is a great way to orientate the major city places of interest.

    Iconic bridge well worth the visit. Stroll from one end to the other and definitely go up the tower. The exhibition half way up worth the pause but the views from the top are 360 deg and worth the effort. Much cheaper than walking up the span of the bridge and less crowded,

    Stunningly beautiful. Not the superficially manicured kind of park, but rich with life. It is probably the largest park in the world. Give yourself a lot of time and be prepared to walk walk walk!

    Very nice place with lots to enjoy. Take a stroll and then have a break at a nearby coffee shop. The kids have an area to play in too. Quite a lively spot.

    MUST do in Sydney. For the views, the atmosphere, the experience. Stopped for lunch and beer at one of the beaches. Fabulous day.

    Fantastic huge place. Was very quiet (two or three other people). Only comment was the Humvee was the ride of the day which didn't appeal to us. Could do with a cafe but a superb place. Friendly staff too.

    We are touring Australia for 2 months and included Alice Springs purely to visit the Kangaroo Sanctuary! It has always been my dream to meet Brolga ( as many before me, a little in love with him ) A charismatic, friendly man with clearly an enormous passion for saving kangaroos & Joeys! The most wonderful tour with him and his gorgeous rescues! I loved every single minute, if you get to attend this tour you are very very fortunate!! Love love love you and what you do Brolga/ Chris!

    We took the tour with Tori who was passionate and knowledgeable. It was surprising larger than what you see from the street frontage. Watching the stonecutter and jeweller at work was really informative.

    We visited Ivanhoe winery with our overseas family and though it was a visit late in the day and they were about to shut for non-member guests, we had a lovely time.
    Danny warned us that he'd have to rush us though and proceeded to give us a wonderful time with amusing stories. We didn't feel rushed for a moment and had a great time.
