Hunter Valley was amazing, great food and wine, and I highly recommend Two Fat Blokes Wine Tour. Favourite restaurant in Sydney was Don’t Tell Auntie. Loved the coastal walks from Malabar to Bondi.

Be aware that the cars that they advertise are not necessarily what you will get, and their idea of "Similar" is very different to what most people would consider similar. However their customer service was very very good.
