Beautiful Burleigh is the destination of choice for laid-back locals and in-the-know travellers, who've discovered there's more to the Gold Coast than the glitter strip.
I have a confession to make; I'm falling a little bit more in love with the Gold Coast, every time I visit. In recent years, the GC has received a bad rap in the media, particularly Surfers Paradise, but we saw none of that on our recent trip. So, if you're looking for a great night out with friends and fun in the sun, then you'll find it here on the GC!
The wait is over and Gold Coast's Balter Brewing is now open to the public, just in time for the long weekend! We've been following the Balter journey on Instagram ever since talented Brisbane design duo Frank & Mimi began transforming the warehouse space with an incredible large scale artwork.
Hands up if you've been dreaming of staying at a health & wellness retreat but not sure which one would suit you best? In our busy lives, everyone can benefit from some down time to relax and recharge, and a health & wellness retreat goes beyond what a standard holiday can deliver.
This week, we spent time on the Gold Coast attending an industry conference and staying at Q1 Resort & Spa in the heart of Surfers Paradise. I must confess, Gold Coast hasn’t previously been my go-to destination, despite its close proximity from Brisbane. I’ve seen the destination with fresh eyes this week and I was mighty impressed! Waking early each morning to walk along the beach at sunrise was an invigorating way to start the day. The Surfers Paradise Foreshore redevelopment is nothing short of spectacular and the city is preparing itself ahead of the Commonwealth Games in 2018 in style.
The dining scene is on the improve too and we had a fabulous night at Black Coffee Lyrics, just a short walk from Q1. With its unassuming location (upstairs of an arcade) the fit-out is super cool with dark bricks and retro style giving it an underground feel. The food, service and atmosphere were exceptional, however the real standout was the Espresso Martini, at happy hour prices no less!
