Yeah, those kangaroos that you can see for free from the roadside throughout much of rural and even suburban Australia. Just going to any of the many Australian wine country regions allows one to easily see up to hundreds of kangaroos.

Southern Ocean Lodge is a beautiful property with wonderful views...but little to see or do to justify the outrageous prices IMO.

Is he into Louboutin heels? The fashion aspect sounds tremendous fun. I guess that the over-large mini-bar will be more of a treat for your husband. Have a great time!

Haha. Even my son said this was more of a present for me. Busted.

Not so sure if it's the most decadent but looks at least very funny! Enjoy

I loved my stay at Soori Bali, I stayed there in Dec 2015 back when it was an Alila. Extremely attentive service, great food and fantastic hard product. I'm sure it'll help you to forget the Oberoi

I wrote a review if you're interested: REVIEW - Soori Bali - JarvisMarcos.com

Hello fellow Instagram friend! Good to see you on here

It's a lovely hotel Soori - I'm actually glad it's out of the Alila group (Uluwatu was always going to be their 'flagship'). Has anyone stayed there recently though?
