Additional information: |
The apartment is at Runaway Bay on Qld's Gold Coast and is two minutes walk from a quiet park and still-water sandy beach. Surfing beaches are 15 minutes away by car.
Breath in the salt-sea air as you stride 2.4 km along the waterfront to Charis Seafood (the Gold Coast's best seafood outlet). One km the other way along Bayview Street and you will be at the Runaway Bay Shopping Village, with two large supermarkets and many food, clothing and specialty shops.
Dreamworld and Seaworld theme parks are each around 10 km and Warner Brothers Movieworld is only 14 km away.
Seasons in Australia are reversed to the Northern Hemisphere - i.e. Winter is June to August with spring in September to November, Summer is December to February. Australia has a temperate climate, with over 340 sunny days per year.
The Gold Coast is on Queensland’s southern border where Queensland meets the state of 'New South Wales'. The climate is sub-tropical - summers are warm, winters are mild and autumn & spring offer the very best of climates.
In mid-winter, when only the very bravest swim in the sea, our apartments’ swimming pool (and spa) is temperature controlled. So you can swim throughout the year. The apartment complex has an on-site manager to assist you with advice on things like day trips and theme parks.
The Gold Coast is Australia’s premium holiday location. It is large enough to have all the facilities and features of a large resort city, including huge shopping complexes, theatres, nightclubs, fine dining, art galleries, several world-class golf courses and driving ranges, sporting complexes, an international airport and many live music entertainment venues.
But if you are looking for a quieter and more relaxed holiday, the Gold Coast has that too. It has some of the world’s best surfing beaches. If you enjoy fishing you can join a day trip to go deep-sea fishing and there are also plenty of quiet still-water fishing locations.
Behind the Gold Coast's celebrated beaches, city skyline and meandering canals, just 35 minutes away is an impressive frame of rolling hills and hinterland mountains capped with jungle rainforests, complete with many hiking tracks.
The apartment is 25 minutes drive from the Gold Coast International Airport and 60 minutes from the capital city of Brisbane and it's international airport. You can get there by car or train.
World famous 'Byron Bay' is only a 60 minute drive away and the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef is less than two hours north by plane. A one hour flight south takes you to Sydney.
