Stay clear, do not be fooled by value for money. I have so many vouchers as I never get to use them and pushy Janette in sales lies and says due to COVID the renewed vouchers are extended forever. Well it turns out that that's not the case and were only extended for 3 years, so he we go again, if I don't want to lose the 100's of vouchers I have I have to keep paying to extend them. You get better value dealing direct with the accommodation places yourselves.

I agree with most reviews that this business is a con. Rarely would anyone get value for money. Much better to just book yourself. It would be more appealing if the vouchers could be used together for 1 booking. Nothing in it for the consumer in how it is operating at present.

I've spent $1200 with this company over a 6 year period and never taken a holiday. Much of this is our fault being too busy, but it seems that each time they contact me the goal posts have moved. I get told we have extended certificates but you have to pay $79.90 to extend them. I have 15 vouchers on my account but only 3 are active - WHAT THE!! In order to make the others active I have to spend more money. How much.......$79.90........the same price as a new certificate!! Surprise!!

On top of that, the only time that I was in a position to use a voucher, I checked the 3 star venue out online and it was actually cheaper to book direct. This company is a rip off and I'm disappointed in myself that I have been naive enough to continue to buy all this time.

I would not recommend this business. I have not been able to book accommodation of my choice at any time. I can always upgrade and of course pay more. A waste of money. Very disappointing

I really, really wanted to use their vouchers for at least one holiday. I researched several possible locations but in every case the numbers added up to us having paid Great Weekend Holidays the $79.90 voucher value for absolutely no return at all. In every search that I did the voucher brought the cost of the holiday back to the value that we could have obtained by simply booking ourselves. This company is doing very well, that's for sure, but it seems to me to be 'all smoke and mirrors'. On the plus side you'd have to say they have a genius business plan!

Paid $79.90 deposit, time got away and i realised it had expired by a week, website says to contact them if this happened. There was zero help or zero care factor and told I could pay a further $79.90 if I wanted. Was also told I had received another deposit voucher from them as I had given them other people to contact also, but this was never received and the girl insisted I had. What does it matter if I had 10 vouchers they won't honour these if they are out of date. I understand is my fault but there was zero care factor or sympathy so in other words bad luck we have your money for nothing!! Would never recommend as a result

Saw this opportunity for two nights plus a free third night for a 2 br cabin at Daylesford (Willowbrook Cottages) which is pet friendly. Offering a comfortable and quiet location close to all that Daylesford (and Hepburn Springs ) offer. The hostess full of brilliant info about what to do. Our little dog was welcome inside the cabin., had access to a dog run, could be taken on a forest walk nearby. Perfect for us. In addition, we only had to pay $79.90 to secure a voucher which could be redeemed within 12 months and we were able to take advantage of a special offer of purchasing 2 voucher and receiving a third gratis!

Approximate cost: $279.90
