Food tips and first-hand experience from the people who know.
Check lift access, room comfort and the actual walking distance from transport.
Check the ticket itinerary and hotel dates together before paying.
Check the performance duration and age guidance before making the final booking.
Use the current journey planner to compare rail connections with the final walk to your address.
Leave a recovery day after the hike rather than returning straight into a packed city schedule.
Ask each hotel for its current overnight parking price, vehicle limits and exit rules.
Plan a broader garden walk so the visit is rewarding even if the clivias are not in bloom.
Choose by swimming conditions, accommodation availability and travel time from the daughter's Sydney base.
Use the same payment method consistently when a fare cap or transfer benefit depends on it.
Do not let a discretionary loop jeopardise a morning vehicle return.
Ask the hotel whether the booked room faces the relevant part of the harbour, not merely whether the hotel has views.
Map each hotel to the activities you will do most and compare the actual room category and total rate.
