Holiday in Sydney or Melbourne - recommendations and advice

Admin · February 2016

Hi People,

We are planning to visit Sydney or Melbourne around June. Would like to seek some advice to residents of Sydney and Melbourne

1. Accomodation - how much po ang average transient sa Sydney? Which places ang recommded nyo to take a transient?

2. Car service - Is there a car service available which can drive us around to tourist spots? No one knows how to drive sa amin. How much usually is the service for this kind of transport service? Average rate?

3. Food - what are you're tips sa food? How much average cost for breakfast lunch dinner?

4. Others - any other stuff we need to consider when we fly there?

Thanks,
Admin

Accomodations - Airbnb - cheaper, more flexible. You can also check Stayz.
Car service - I think sa Pinoy Au Sydney FB group baka may mga nag-o-offer ng ganitong service, check mo lang dun.
Food - average cost of each meal sa labas is $10-$30+ depende where you eat. Chinese takeaway usually cheaper (less than $10 but more than $5). Pwede naman magluto - mura ang meat and seasonal veggies dito compared diyan.

Ilang araw plano niyo? If you end up going to Sydney I can suggest places for you to check out depending on the length of your stay. Let me know

@cholle Hi Chloe! Can I have your list? Me and my family will be going there next week on the 8-14.
Although may kasama naman kami, maganda din na may gusto kang i try through recommendations.

@Admin sayang, if marunong lang kayo magdrive mura ang rent a car. I checked it with eurocars ata and for 7 days it's only around $300+ depending on what car you want to rent.

1) Melbourne would cost around upwards of $100 if you are planning to stay in the city centre in a hotel - it would be less costly if you do AirBnb as per what @cholle has mentioned.

2) Car Service - parang malabo ata ito boss but you can always do Uber to go point to point on a per use basis; pm me so I can give you my link so the first ride will be free for you. Ahahaha!!

3) Food - $15 max is busog ka na dito. If gusto mo yung economic rice type, it will be available for around $10 in food courts. If gusto mo mas cheaper, there is always subway where they do 6inch subs for $5.

4) Let us know if you will decide on Melbourne; I will make sure me and @vhoythoy will meet up with you for at least just coffee - and if may time ka, pwede mag BBQ.

Kita kits boss Adrian hehe.

1) Here in Melbourne for accommodations, i recommend Alto at Bourke, Radisson at Flagstaff or Oaks at Williams (Cheap but nice).

2) Pwede kang mag rent ng car dito (One of my arab housemate rent a car once in a while i think $40 a day), but better kung may friend ka mag drive for you or if you can drive much better. Mas maganda kasi ung may car para may control ka sa pupuntahan place. May mga tour companies din dito pero for sure medyo mahal ng konti.

3) Maraming kainan around the city dito sa Melbourne so di nman masyadong problema

4) Need ng winter clothes kasi malamig na yan time na yan dito hehe
