Best Western Ciloms Airport Lodge, Tullamarine

Advantages: Independently Owned & operated Good Quality
Disadvantages: Very Few

...Best Western Hotels are among the world’s largest hotel brands but is actually somewhat unusual. This international hotel chain is made-up of individually owned and operated hotels and inns around the globe. However, reputedly it is not easy to qualify for membership of Best Western – prospective members must meet some very exacting standards and each hotel in UK is independently inspected on an annual basis by the AA. Globally there are around 4,000 hotels in the group whilst there are several hundred in the UK. Some are bustling city centres hotels, others are nicely converted Elizabethan lodges and some are plush Georgian style country manor houses.

Advantages: Sunny holiday with great surf all year round
Disadvantages: pantz when it rains! but it didn't for us!! hehe!

...the bus stop was right outside the lodge on both sides of the road which could get you to Sydney city central or to the airport. Balmain itself is an attractive and old town. It has the first houses that Sydney was built with and has a very diverse and historical background. If you walk down the length of Darling Street (you can see the Sydney harbour bridge down most of it) you will come to the river and can get a boat to Sydney Harbour at a very cheap rate. On our first night there we did this and when we travelled underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge which was all lit up at night it was very exciting. (Please see my other Sydney reviews including me climbing the bridge) Furthermore we found this accommodation good because there were no noisy nightclubs or bars in Balmain and was incredibly quiet after 11 o'clock, but were in direct link...
