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.

    Overpriced
    We were excited about the trip because it was cancelled during COVID & it’d been on our bucket list . We boarded the Tran in Adelaide. After the information dinner , which was very nice , we were taken to our cabin . It was small but adequate & clean . We had an adjoining bathroom which was again small but what was expected . We didn’t spend much time in cabin just sleeping . Most time spent in lounge car talking & drinking some nice wines .
    First night on train was a rough night . Not a lot of sleep probably due to not being used to the rocking & rolling . Must admit it was a bit rough that night . Also very stuffy air conditioner is set on 22 , no fresh air at all . 2nd night a lot better .
    Brittany & her team were fantastic very attentive. Always happy to help out & always smiling , even remembered your name which was nice .
    We found the quite nice & a good choice & adequate portions .All local product
    Our off train experiences were hampered by the weather . First was Cook where it was raining , but really not a lot to see there . Nice to be able to get out & enjoy a walk around & some fresh air
    Our next stop was Rawlinna where we were meant to have dinner under the stars . Unfortunately it was very windy & cold so they decided that we’d have dinner on board the train . Again nice to go for a walk out side & get so fresh air .
    All up it was a nice trip . Very over priced though for what you got in return . ( value for money ) . There are other places & things you could do in the world for the price we paid for this trip .
    Oh well we’ve done it now & we can tick it off our list .
    Would we recommend the trip ?
    Probably not at this price

    Going by other reviews I must be the luckiest bloke going around? But when you compare my most recent trip on the Rome subway system, where I was pick pocketed, the Sydney system is a gold class service in comparison! Also as I no longer have to travel in the peak, I find the trains to be reasonably pleasant, mostly on time and great value with a seniors card! A quick service with limited stops, makes for a relaxing journey and a friendly smile & wave from the female guard was a plus!

    A great spot to begin your journeys
    Clean, easy access to all of the great spots you want to see, and the airport for domestic and international flights as well as the hotels and Oxford St.
    Really recommended!
    Get a hotel near it!
