Zwei wunderschöne Wochen an der Gold Coast in einem sehr schönen Appartement.
Pros:

Es war ein sehr schönes kleines Appartement, sehr bequeme Betten und großer Terrasse.
Die Lage war sehr zentral . Kurzer Weg zum Strand und ins Zentrum von Surfers Paradise. Und dass wir mit der Chefin kostenlos zum SkyPoint (Tower) durften , hat uns unglaublich gut gefallen.
Die ganze Appartement-Anlage ist sehr schön gestaltet mit einem beeindruckenden, grünen Garten.

Cons:

Es waren sehr wenige Ablageflächen in der Küchenzeile.
