I found a property I liked on Stayz called 'Hisha' (Dalesford). The Stayz website advertised the…read moreseasonal weekend rate as follows: from 18 Jun 2016 thru 28 Feb 2017 price is $970 for Fri/Sat nights. When I went to book it on Stayz, Sandra from Dayget.com.au answered my request by informing that Dayget.com.au would be finalising the booking and the price was now several hundred dollars more. I told her that was false advertising and very misleading but she didn't seen to care or offer a reasonable explanation for the difference in cost. This experience has put me off booking anything in Dalesford especially properties advertised on this dodgy site. AVOID Dayget.com.au at all cost!!!! They advertise one price on Stayz (to draw you in) and then refuse to honour that price when you make the booking. They tell you Stayz prices are indicative only and the booking itself must go through Dayget.com.au which in turn ups the price by at least several hundred (some properties end up almost double the price)... What sort of crappy booking agent is this? I am now looking for properties in nearby towns just so I don't have to go through Dayget.com.au.

This is how wine tours should be done…read more We were picked up from our accommodation by Joe, our super friendly driver and host who's set up base in the heart of the region. Joe's not just a chauffeur, he's made it his business to get to know winemakers in the region on a personal level and proved a wealth of knowledge about who's who, and where's best to go. Heathcote is what the Yarra Valley was 20 years ago. It's a renowned wine region, especially for Shiraz, but it's not properly geared up for tourists just yet, so a knowledgable guide is indispensable. This tour will tend to avoid the lager, more corporate wineries, in preference for smaller boutique venues, where winemakers are often on hand to talk through their product and production methods. This was exactly what I was hoping for - if I can buy it at Dan Murphy's, I'm not interested when I'm on a tour. It's the littler places you'll only fine when here that have my attention, and Joe's too. That's why this kind of tour genuinely supports the local industry. We opted for the day tour, consisting of 4-5 wineries and a lunch. There's also a shorter version where you'll be whisked to 2-3 wineries over the course of a morning or afternoon. Go for the day, if you can. It's well sort it. Joe was relaxed, friendly and talkative in a good way. He was happy to accommodate a stop for coffee first thing, and adjust his plans depending on what kind of venue we fancied visiting or wine we felt like tasting. His suggestions were spot on. We benefited from being the only couple on the tour, but I can imagine a great time being had even if the small van was full. Totally recommended to all.

So often I would be given a "detour" with my card in Melbourne. This is outrageous behavior, but it sadly does occur all too frequently. Not so in Castlemaine, for there is more than an element of trust within the whole fabric of the fleet. Trust between the drivers and all the their passengers is definately the norm and to my way of thinking, it is carved in stone. I also like it how the drivers are always well-presented and above all friendly despite sometimes being under the pump with the demands people in the community needing such good Taxi service.
