Guest brooksey Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Furama RiverFrontArea: Singapore River Located in Singapore’s financial district, the hotel is one km (one-half mile) from the entertainment and restaurants of Clark Quay and Chinatown. More hotel info Book online or call 1300-850-472 we stopped here and it was great. 5 mins walk to keys(pubs and cafes on river) and Chinatown. sanatosa island is where the beach is but get ataxi to the cable car station and cross over that way. Enjoy rates from AU$158.60 per night between 10-Feb-2009 and 11-Apr-2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gunner Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Things to do include, laze around the pool, vist the beach, Sentosa island, the zoo (world class), Little India, China Town, the old defences from colonial days and ofcourse no visit to Singapore is complete without a Singapore Sling at Raffles (bit pricey though). Singapore is a good choice as less of a culture shock than other Asian cities and you have completed the longest part of the trip. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brooksey Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree with Raffles. Its a must when in Singapore. If you like shopping Ochard road is fantastic.Very modern. Chinatown is my personal favourite. Eating at the street hawkers is a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dobber Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 When we went nz a couple of years ago we stayed in a cracking hotel no more than 100 yrds off orchard raod ( 2x adults 2x kids 10 / 11 @£70.00 per night ) Brilliant but one thing i would do is go to little india, if you like that food it is fantastic, and as of most of singapore you fell 100% safe anywhere, and as other posts say the zoo at night is the best.
