Winter may be starting to creep up, but
you wouldn't know it
here on the Gold Coast. Maintaining a sunny average of 24 degrees during the day, people are still hitting the beach, you can still catch a wave or two without suffering frostbite and picnics in the sun are still a reality, not just a pleasant memory! We don’t mean to rub it in but with Mother’s Day coming up and a great line up of Gold Coast events - why don’t you come and pay us a visit?!
Also ask us about our gift vouchers and package deals if you’re stuck on what to give mum this year.
