Oceania Testimonials from our Clients

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful sixteen day trip to Queensland, Australia. We flew into Cairns and spent the next sixteen days working our way back to Brisbane through the rainforests, mountains and coastal plains. The weather was less than favorable for most of the first part of the trip, but it did improve as we continued our journey Southward. The B&B accommodations that were recommended and booked for us by Umfulana were just incredible. Each location was unique in its only little way, tastefully decorated, fully equipped, conveniently located and maintained by knowledgeable and extremely friendly hosts. Many of these hosts were pretty good chefs too. Phillip's banana pancakes in Mission Beach, Glenn's sweet chili omelets in Airlie Beach and Gena's eggs benedict in the B&B in Brisbane will not soon be forgotten!

Many thanks to Elke and the rest of the Umfulana staff for putting together a perfect Queensland holiday for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip!

For the second time I had a pleasure to go on the trip with the help of Umfulana.

First time was Namibia (great time) and now it was Australia, Vietnam and Thailand.
And it was perfetc. My wife and mine expectations were met, the quality of accomodation and balance of programme was exactly as agreed (thru adjustments and discussions with Umfulana – thanks for your patience).
Everything was smoooooooth and eeeeeasy, leaving no space for stres and worries.
There was only one very minor case in Bangkok when I had to call Umfulana and Gabi responce was faster then light:-) – situation was resolved in minutes.

So, thanks all in Umfulana and I am looking forward to see another adventure with You.

Thank you and all the best!!!

Hi there,
We had a wonderful time (as always).
The B&B in Melbourne was excellent and Trevor I think his name is, introduced us to the art of going on public transportation and made us feel at home. A very nice person and simply excellent. Could not have been better.
The Retreat in Apollo Bay was nice and beautifully situated and we got very good suggestions of what to see. The outdoor spa and pool did not work,however, and when I pointed out that the VCR (video) apperently needed to be fixed (cleaning of the head), Bill knew that it was out of touch (needed to have a service or replacement.) And when that was not a surprise to him, I kind of wonder how long the pool and spa had been out of order.....???
It was a disappointment that the spa did not work, because it was really cold and we would have enjoyed that.
The roaring fire in the living room was nice and we enjoyed our stay, anyway.
Port Fairy: The Hotel was very nice indeed and Port Fairy a very nice place to stay.
Pomonal, Grampians: Very nice and hospitable. Enjoyed Mrs. Welch's cooking. Very good and nice hosts. Helped us to wash some clothes, too.
Robe: Very pleasant in the middle of town and we realy enjoyed it.
Barossa Valley: Stonewell Cottages, Tanunda. Simply a lovely place and the cottage had everything. You could not ask for more!!
Kangaroo Island: Very nice and hospitable. Nice wilderness tour and the car and everything worked fine. The dirt roads of the island are terrible. A 4-WD (four wheel drive) type Land Rover would be preferable, but the man from Hertz warned us and we drove slowly and stayed on the paved roads as much as possible. We also went with Peter and saw the penguins in Kingscote. He was a superb guide. [...]
Potts Point, Sydney. Very nice and central. Excellent service.
Yes, that's it!! And up here on the fjord we have -2 degrees and a mild snowfall and the mountains are all covered with snow!!
