When we were talking about staying in the Blue Mountains near Sydney there was one place that many people told us we had to stay, Madison's Mountain Retreat.

The drive through Richmond to Bilpin and Madison’s Mountain Retreat was gorgeous! As we often do, we took the long way around but it is such beautiful countryside how can you resist.  We finally arrived at Madison’s to a beautiful sight, lovely woolly alpacas.

Swissôtel Sydney

If there is one thing we love to do with the Great Aussie Road Tests, it’s to show you the best products and businesses who cater for families.  Recently, we were lucky enough to stay with the Swissôtel Sydney, a five star hotel located right in the heart of the city, walking distance to Darling Harbour, shopping, attractions and the monorail.

We travelled to Sydney for business however in our line of work our children are part of our business.  It was important to have them with us, yet entertained when we needed.  It was for this reason we chose the Swissôtel Sydney.
