Experience the best of Hospitality

Hotels

Home Away From Home

Cox and Kings offers you the best hospitality with an ambience and
comfort of quality hotels.

From comfort of an ultra modern hotel to the classic elegance of
traditional ambience, they all have the Cox and Kings endorsement of
service and excellence.

Every Cox and Kings hotel matches our standards for a comfortable
stay. Most hotels have more twin rooms.

Single rooms are much smaller than twin bedded rooms, which have
two separate beds. Double rooms, on request, are subject to availability.
Where a double is not available, a twin room will be provided. Triple
rooms are usually no larger than twin rooms, and the third bed is often
a rollaway bed or cot placed in a twin room. It is more comfortable to
get a separate bed for a child sharing a room.

All hotels have modern facilities such as attached toilets with showers /
bath tubs and telephones.

Tour Managers, Transport & Food

Personalised attention of our friendly Tour Managers
Your Cox and Kings Tour Managers will make you feel at ease. They

Food Glorious Food

There is nothing like a Cox and Kings holiday in the Europe to whet
one’s appetite for food. Breakfasts are always buffets except in Europe
and the UK. Hot or cold spreads, depending on the region of stay, such
as fruits, yoghurt, cakes, cold cuts, cornÁakes with milk, cheese, eggs,
breads, rolls, croissants, preserves, butter, juice, tea and coffee. Lunch

The Thrills of the City
The charms of Melbourne city go beyond the usual list of attractions.
Some it must be due to the city’s exciting calendar of high-profile events,
from the Australian Open Tennis Championships and the high-octane
Australian Grand Prix to that epitome of high society, the Melbourne
Cup. While you’re there, don’t miss the opportunity to take a guided
tour of the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground.

There’s also Melbourne’s famous shopping. Visit the famous Queen
Victoria Market, stroll through the Sunday Market at the Victorian Arts
Centre, or lose yourself among the myriad of designer boutiques,
laneways and arcades to enjoy a bargain. Discover the fascinating Bourke
Street Mall, a popular spot for artists and buskers. Harbour Town, at the
Melbourne Docklands, offers diverse range of brand direct outlets.

Don’t miss the Eureka Skydeck, where the brave can slide 3m out from
the side of a building in a glass room 300 metres up, in “The Edge”! Less
heart-stopping, but no less spectacular, the 120 tall Southern Star
Observation Wheel offers some magnificent views. Experience the
Antarctic at the Melbourne Aquarium, where you’ll encounter King and
Gentoo penguins.

Melbourne is known for its trendy nightspots and your choices are
endless. The Crown Entertainment Complex itself boasts a range of
nightclubs and watering holes. You can also catch your favourite
musicals at the beautifully restored Regent and Princess theatres, or
quality local productions at the Arts Centre.

Country Charms
The magic of Melbourne extends beyond the city boundaries, to the
neighbouring regions - the Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley & The
Helicopter ride over The Twelve Apostles
Dandenongs and Phillip Island.

Out here you’ll find a different sort of experience as you get in touch
with nature and the great outdoors. A drive along the Great Ocean
Road promises some of the most breathtaking scenery you’ll find
anywhere, among them the spectacular limestone formations of the
Twelve Apostles.

Food and wine enthusiasts will find plenty of cheer in the Yatra Valley &
The Dandenongs, home to Domaine Chandon, among others. For nature
lovers Phillip Island may well be the ideal destination - it offers unique
close-up nature encounters, without sacrificing any creature comforts.

Explore the underwater wonderland of the Great
Barrier Reef without wetting a single toe - only with
Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises!

Did you know, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest structure on
earth made up entirely of live corals? This fascinating reef – larger
in size than the Great Wall of China - is the largest living organism
visible from outer space!

The variety of marine creatures that live on the Great Barrier Reef is
spell binding to say the least. Witness this unforgettable symphony
of marine life through Big Cat’s semi - submarines without even
wetting a toe.

Both swimmers and non swimmers get a dazzling view of the rainbow
hued marine life of the Reef, seated in the cozy conÀnes of the air
conditioned Yellow Submarine. This delight for the senses is then
topped off with a sumptuous buffet lunch with vegetarian options.

A slice of paradise awaits you in Australia on your very own Big Cat
Cruise experience!


Avail the Årst ever opportunity to experience and
interact with Australia’s 40,000 year old culture.

Situated on 25 acres of tribal land owned by the Tjapukai people at
Caravonica, just north of Cairns, Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park is a
stunning theatrical interpretation of Aboriginal culture from the beginning
of time into the future. It combines the latest in theatre and technology,
interactive activities with Aboriginal people and features authentic
traditional culture and customs.

Seven separate arenas allow visitors to experience every facet of the
rainforest people’s culture - from the provocative History Theatre to the
inspiring Creation Theatre, the traditional Dance Theatre and the interactive
Cultural Village, where visitors can learn about didgeridoo playing, bush
foods, medicine remedies and experience boomerang and spear throwing.

Tjapukai showcases the indigenous culture of the rainforest people of
Tropical North Queensland.
