Australian Inns & Bed and Breakfasts in Australia

Who hasn't dreamed of traveling to exotic Australia, originally a penal colony and still home to the fierce Tasmanian Devil? Be sure to consider Australia's topsy-turvy seasons when planning a trip because wintertime on this continent is the opposite of what we experience here in America. Of course, the Aussie monsoon season should be avoided! The hardest thing will be deciding where to begin because Australia offers not only the largest stretch of coastline but a bevy of metropolitan regions rich in culture and history. Instead of a traditional tourist accommodation, why not choose a unique bed and breakfast lodging? Australia offers eclectic architectural examples, and a bed and breakfast inn provides the chance to feel at home even in this mysterious land down under.

Nature-enthusiasts will want to explore the Great Barrier Reef of Queensland. Be sure to pack scuba and surf gear, along with a camera. Whale-sightings are common, and kayaking offers a chance to work up an appetite to try the local delicacies. Find a lovely B&B cottage convenient to azure waters, then step outside each morning to bask in the hot sun in December or January!

Cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth are filled with opportunities to experience art and culture up close. Melbourne's Federation Square is the ideal place to take in art galleries and boutiques, then spend an evening at a performance of one of the country's famous opera or ballet companies. Of course, Sydney's world-class Opera House is not to be missed. The rich history of Australia's indigenous Aboriginal tribes is on full display in Adelaide. Book an Australian bed and breakfast for your vacation to Oz but leave plenty of time to explore all its wonders.
