School holidays in Ballarat

Family at WorldMark South Pacific Club by Wyndham Ballarat

A photo of us with our friends who join us annually at Ballarat.

We visited WorldMark South Pacific Club by Wyndham Ballarat for our annual holidays July 2012.  Instead of our usual weekend stay, we opted for one week during the school holidays, where the kids enjoyed the Kids Club and we were able to enjoy  the resort facilities without having to rush around.  Continue reading

Victoria Holiday Magic

beachI took my 2 grandsons  aged 13 & 15 to Torquay, Phillip Island and Ballarat last month. We flew down to Avalon, Melbourne, and hired a car for 9 days of fun.

Torquay was first stop, the boys learning how to use their Wyndham holiday Credits. Staff spoke to them about all the Wyndham resorts in South Pacific. It made them think about the next holiday and how to plan. We enjoyed the pool and spa and dining in the room with meal served from restaurant. We finished with a trip along the Great Ocean Rd before going to Phillip Island, the newest resort in South Pacific. Continue reading

A Wedding Stopover at Kirra!

WorldMark Owner weddingMy son, Philip, & his fiancée, Rebecca, decided to have their wedding in Maleny, Queensland.

He invited his two aunties & their families from Melbourne.

As soon as they finalised the wedding date, I immediately booked a 3 bedroom apartment in Kirra, Queensland, which was available for 5 nights, to accommodate 8 people.  We decided to stay in Kirra instead of staying overnight in Maleny, and we did not mind the 4 hour drive to Maleny and back to Kirra for the wedding.

Wyndham Vacation Resorts Denarau IslandI would like to share our awesome experience during our family holidays this January 2013 at Fiji – Wyndham Denarau Island.

Surprise at Sydney!

On Pacific Jewel cruise

On Pacific Jewel after leaving Wydnham Sydney…just a short cab ride to the cruise terminal. Great idea to use Worldmark Sydney as a base before and after cruises!

Gold Coast WorldMark South Pacific Club Owners Barb and Lindsay are surprised by fellow Gold Coast WorldMark South Pacific Club Owners, Bernadette and David, and guest Jillie at Worldmark Wyndham Sydney in July 2012.

And what a surprise it was! We were staying for several days at Wyndham Sydney in order to farewell our daughter and son in law on their move to London.

All four of us were accommodated very comfortably in one of the lovely resort rooms. We were then to go on a South Pacific cruise to cheer us up!! Continue reading

On top of Mount Wellington, Hobart, Tasmania

We landed at the Hobart airport on New Year day 1st Jan 13 and we were all expecting a very relaxing, rejuvenating and reviving holiday down in Tasmania.

It was going to be a holiday spent at some amazing landmarks and the homely resort with plentiful of amenities. However, it was an unexpected gift in the first week of January 2013, which will really make the visit to Hobart a vivid memory of ours to cherish for a long time.

Who knew that the pleasing staff and holiday residents of Hobart’s Seven Mile Beach Wyndham resort would be all ears to our adventurous journey on the way to Port Arthur? Continue reading

Before and after Cyclone Evan at Wyndham Resort Denarau Island

Emma, daughter of Wyndham staffer Scott Campbell, shares her perspective of Tropical Cyclone Evan – which hit Denarau Island during their recent family holiday.

Bula,

It was hard to believe that the way in which WorldMark welcomed us into our long looked-forward-to holiday could be warmer than Fiji’s afternoon sun above casting a dry heat over the beautiful island of Denarau.

Although, as the friendly staff and a strumming ukulele greeted us into the foyer, alarming announcements on cyclone ‘Evan’ pinned to the notice board were also present. Continue reading
