Australia's playground resort
104 Reviews This is a very enjoyable nights entertainment that includes a 3 course dinner, drinks and show. I haven't been to see the latest show, which is "Spirit of the Horse," a tribute to our famous Racehorse named "Phar Lap," who raced in the olden days and was a favorite of most Aussies. We went to the...
22 Reviews Located at the southern end of the gold coast, is the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. The Sanctuary covers an area of 27hectares, but don't worry, as a little Train will take you for a ride around the whole compound, stopping at various locations on the way. The Train ride is included in the...
4 Reviews There are quite a few places I enjoy eating at, such as: Montezuma's (Mexican), Frenchy's (Seafood), Captain's Table (Seafood), Bavarian Haus (German), Grumpy's Wharf (Seafood), Oscar's (A La Carte)... Each place has its own unique atmosphere, be it situated in a marina, overlooking the Pacific,...
Horizons Restaurant, Sheraton.
2 Reviews This was one of the very nice restaurants in the hotel. You can try some local delicacies like Moreton Bay Bugs (a shellfish) which are thicker than the meat of a lobster and have their own delightful taste. Barramundi which can either be a salt or freshwater fish and considered by many as the...
5 Reviews Although I have put the Casino in as one of the nightlife tips, like all casinos it is open for business 24 hours/7 days a week, but it is at night when Jupiters comes to life. Jupiters Casino is the only licensed casino on the Gold Coast and is a resort casino with a host of facilities from...
2 Reviews The Gold Coast is the place to party. Surfers Paradise is a tourist mecca with lots happening all the time. Coolangatta comes alive too. The theatre restaurants are good for a laugh as well. There's one at Broadbeach called Draculas. Food and show are included in the price and it's near the Casino...
24 Reviews Hi, 1) Transport on the Gold Coast is not always the best. Aside from costly taxis, your main option will be buses. Of course take advantage of any courtesy buses provided by many hotels and resorts that often go to the major attractions such as the theme parks (ask on booking what's available)....
11 Reviews If you have flown into the Gold Coast, I’d suggest that the only viable transport is by rented car. This will prove somewhat less expensive than taxis if you plan to do any exploring, and is certainly more convenient than the bus service. Ensure the hire company gives you a road map. Now, maybe this...
10 Reviews The Pacific Fair Shopping Centre is a HUGE mall. that I'm sure it'll cater to all your needs. There are more than 300 shops that you can visit! I bought everything from sweets, grocery, and even my prepaid card. On a macro level, the shopping centre has everything from cinema to about 20 fast food...
6 Reviews If you ever want to avoid the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise, well, when Schoolie's week is on is the time to do it. At the end of November, and the 1st week of December every year, thousands of School leavers converge on the Coast for a good time, I'm afraid its not a good time for a lot of them...
13 Reviews If you come to the Gold Coast then you are most likely going to enjoy one of the long, white, sandy beaches. Beaches in Australia are patrolled by volunteer Lifesavers for your safety. Some people are not aware that they are getting sunburnt, and dehydrated badly! On the Beach, they have flags, and...
10 Reviews "I always thought of the Gold Coast as a place of harmony, sunshine, partying and surf but while on our recent holiday there I witnessed a lot more. Sure they have the surf, the partying and the sunshine but we saw no sign of harmony in fact I put it close to disarray. The place is dirty, tacky and...
5 Reviews make sure you pack a beach bag so you can keep all your things in there when you go swimming, but make sure you dont mind if it gets sandy. Summer is really good, just wear whatever you want.... as long as it doesnt involve much haha! Really light clothing, or better still stay at the beach or day...
24 Reviews The Hinze Dam is located about 15kms from Nerang on the Gold Coast. Since I first wrote this tip a lot has changed at the Dam. The Hinze Dam was originally constructed in 1976, then in 1989, work began on raising the wall another 15 metres, doubling the dam's capacity and providing increased water...

15 Reviews I am not one for busy crowded beaches, I prefer ones with less people, but still with the Life Savers on patrol for my safety, OR still water ones. Some of the quiet Beaches are The Spit, Main Beach, Mermaid Beach, Nobby Beach ,Main Beach ,Tallebudgera and Bilinga. I love the water without the...
