Which was your best holiday?
Three months ago I went to Bora Bora with my wife and our two daughters, aged six and 13. I've had plenty of exotic, tropical vacations before, but this one really took the cake. It was the perfect aquatic holiday – the weather was so good and the scenery second to none. We did everything from shark diving to kayaking to snorkelling to just exploring.

The best hotel you've stayed in?

The Four Seasons in Bora Bora; we couldn't fault it. We stayed in an overwater bungalow, with clear panels in the floor so you could see the fish swimming beneath you. We'd wake up in the morning, slide open the bi-fold doors of our bedroom, walk two steps and just dive off the balcony into the most beautiful turquoise water. The food every day was as good as any fine-dining restaurant in Australia, and the staff just went overboard looking after us. It was incredible.

What do you need for a perfect holiday?

A good kids' club. If you haven't got that you may as well be at home, because you're having to look after the kids the whole time. We stayed in Fiji a few years ago and our youngest, who was four, would cry every time we suggested kids' club. That just ruined the holiday. A good kids' club is one where the staff are fun and engaging, and there are enough facilities to keep the kids interested. In Bora Bora the kids' club was great – the kids went fishing and on treasure hunts, did arts and crafts and sports, and just loved it.
