Wake Up To Weird & Wonderful

Early risers in Australia were treated to a preview of Weird & Wonderful Hotels, when we featured on Channel 9’s morning show, Kerri-Anne.

The segment included clips from our visits to the Null Stern Hotel, Marqués de Riscal, The Tea Factory, Hostel Celica and Tongabezi Lodge.

For those of you not from Down Under, you can watch the clip from Kerri-Anne’s show here.

Weird & Wonderful Hotels is being broadcast throughout April and May on the Nat Geo Adventure channel.
