I stayed in a one bedroom apartment that had everything you needed. Huge space. Much better than a poky hotel room. Bring nothing. It had airconditioning which is actually rare for apartments on the Gold coast. The location was perfect, no need to cross any roads (apart from the quiet esplanade) to get to the beach, though it has a very deep pool. Location wise you can walk to everything you need, pubs, restaurants, shops and supermarkets too. Surfers Paradise and its noisy bright lights and the major shopping centres are just a bus ride away, and they come frequently 24 hours a day!. This is a quieter more relaxing part of the Gold coast. I recommend this place to anyone. I have stayed here 3 times now. more
