Stayed here a week in November 2011 for daughters birthday FANTASTIC for a Park we normally stay at a resort or hotel glad we took the chance. Staff are exceptional, activities EVERY MORNING for both parents and children to participate in and there are evening activities too with FREE use of the Park bus excellent choice. Wouldn't really recommend the NIGHT MARKETS in Surfers they were a letdown but take the free bus (Book early as it is on FRIDAY and fills up quickly) and if you have children go to the GAMING ZONE as you are there for about 2 hours before getting picked up otherwise go sit at one of the cafes to pass the time. Accommodation it's a no brainer book the MACAW MANSIONS really are the
best even though there is no washing machine the laundromat is practically behind you depending on which Mansion you stay in. Located next to the POOL area, best MANSIONS
ARE #7 which is the one we had and then #6 you can sit from your upstairs verandah have a drink and watch the chillies in the pool without moving. The Parents retreat upstairs is lovely with a LARGE SPA. All other accommodation I feel is too far away, lets face it kids want to use the pool almost all the time they are on holiday and in QLD!! 2 Fantasic play gym areas for the children, lovely rainforest pathed walk around the whole park really well thought out,
There are various tropical birds in cages set in amongst the rainforest my girls (11 & 6)
loved it all set in a rainforest/tropical garden setting with little wooden stairways and ramps going up and down and waterways etc..
We will definitely be staying there again. It is ideally located to all major attractions Harbourtown is the closest with Seaworld probably being the furthest attraction very close to the main higway to get to Movieworld, Dreamworld and Waterworld VERY EASY to find. You
will find one Shopping centre only 5 minutes by car or better still you can follow the Park walk
and there is a gate at the back of the park to go through, 2 minutes later you arrive at the Shopping centre with Woolies, bottleshop, pizza hut, butcher and a really excellent little Shoe shop well worth a browse!! EXTREMELY HANDY!!Book early for the MACAW Mansions as they fill up quickly, if your'e an RACQ member you get a further discount, when you leave
they include a $50 Voucher to put towards your next stay. Really doesn't feel like you are staying at the Gold Coast, almost like an Oasis smack bang in the middle of the city. Go stay there you won't regret it and your children will love you for it.
Only drawbacks is the noise of the BIRDS in the early morning so if booking the MACAW Mansions don't get the ones on the end go NO FURTHER then # 7. We got used to it but if you are planning to sleep in get EAR PLUGS and the housekeeping could've been a little better alot of dead cockies underneath the beds.
