Fantastic 5.0
The hotel has a superb location, with the light rail station, a supermarket, and a shopping mall right downstairs, and Surfers Paradise beach is just a 3-minute walk away. However, the hotel is very old, and the rooms have a dated design. There's no detachable shower head, only a wall-mounted one. The bathtub also lacks a shower curtain, with only a partial glass screen, so every night when showering, water splashes everywhere, and the entire bathroom gets wet.

Location is good. Many restaurants downstairs to eat and many shops to buy things. 2 bedroom with living room and washing machine to wash clothes.

A must-try in the Gold Coast! It's as thrilling as a roller coaster, but you'll get your hair soaking wet! 😆 The video is great, but you have to purchase it separately.

My parents loved it, it was a bit tame for my partner and myself but we were seated right in the middle of the boat so did not feel as much of the rush but again the folks loved it and loved Mikey. Highly recommend to experience at least once.

Highly recommend this chill boat experience on the Gold Coast! The staff are super friendly and provide a thorough safety briefing. The coastal scenery is beautiful, and the boating route is very safe, allowing you to relax and feel like a captain while enjoying afternoon tea and chatting. It's located inside a restaurant in a small market, so don't worry about getting lost—just go into the restaurant and head to the pier to find it!

What to know before visiting Gold Coast

Top Attractions in the Gold Coast

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

You can meet koalas, kangaroos, and many Australian animals in this large wildlife park. It’s great for families and offers shows, feeding sessions, and close encounters. The sanctuary sits near beautiful coastal areas, so you can enjoy the beach afterward.

Warner Bros. Movie World

One of the Gold Coast’s most popular theme parks, Movie World features roller coasters, movie-themed rides, and live entertainment. Kids will love meeting superheroes and cartoon characters, while adults enjoy the big thrill rides.

SkyPoint Observation Deck

Located at the top of the Q1 building in Surfers Paradise, SkyPoint gives you amazing 360-degree views of the coast. You can grab a drink, take photos of the Surfers Paradise skyline, or try the SkyPoint Climb for extra adventure.

Australian Outback Spectacular

This live dinner show brings the Australian outback to life with horses, music, and storytelling. You’ll watch skilled riders, special effects, and a heartwarming story while enjoying a three-course meal. It’s a great night out for families, couples, or anyone who wants a taste of Australia’s rural culture.

Best Places to Visit in Gold Coast

Surfers Paradise

This is the heart of the Gold Coast, known for its golden beach, tall hotels, and nightlife. You can swim, learn to surf, shop, or enjoy restaurants right by the ocean.

Broadbeach

Broadbeach is calmer than Surfers Paradise but still full of things to do. It has parks, markets, beach playgrounds, and great dining. It's perfect for families and travelers looking for a more relaxed area.

Headlands

Headlands around the Gold Coast offer some of the best views of the coastline. Burleigh Heads is especially popular for its national park walking trail, picnic spots, and local cafés. Surfers also love the waves here.

Tips for Visiting the Gold Coast

1. Book theme park tickets early

A Gold Coast experience is not complete without its theme parks, and popular ones can sell out during busy seasons. Booking ahead saves time and sometimes money, especially during school holidays.

2. Use public transport or shuttle services

Buses and trams make it easy to get around famous beaches and attractions. The G:link tram runs between Broadbeach and Helensvale, and many theme parks offer shuttle buses.

3. Plan beach visits in the morning

Winds are calmer early in the day, making the Gold Coast water clearer and better for swimming or surfing. Lifeguards patrol flagged zones, so swim between the red and yellow flags for safety.

4. Keep sunscreen and water with you

The Gold Coast is sunny most of the year, and UV levels can rise quickly. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water when exploring beaches, walking trails, or outdoor parks.
