My teenage daughter and I spent his past week at the Langham Gold Coast, which was superb. Our oceanview room was spacious and beautiful. We had a gorgeous large bathroom with a magnificent extra large oval bath, complete with soaking salts. Full vanity amenities, robes, Langham pool thongs, complimentary water inside of gorgeous Langham reusable bottles. Sat out in the spacious, indoor/outdoor balcony and read my book while enjoying my serenity tea from the room. A full service gym, beautiful -used it each afternoon. A large indoor pool and a gorgeous lagoon style outdoor pool with a swim up bar. Complimentary parking. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful at every turn. Walked down a short pathway to the beach from the Langham to watch a gorgeous sunrise. We will return. Warm regards, Julie ~ Sydney

Brisbane is full of treasures.

Brisbane is full of treasures. While it can be swelteringly hot in summer, there are so many wonderful things to see and do. Firstly, the Queensland Art Gallery - located on the South Bank of the Brisbane River, full of amazing art. Then there's the Botanical Gardens where you can hire bikes or stroll. I would also recommend th many walks along the river and to explore the suburb of New Farm not far out of the city, to admire the Queenslander architecture, and to walk in beautiful New Farm Park (October being the best time for the jaranda trees). Great cafes abound in this suburb, but also in most suburbs of Brisbane.

Apartments & most accomodation do NOT have Studios or 1 bedroom with twin beds OR off a king to split. We require twin beds & have to book 2 bedroom accomodation to get this and it's MUCH more expensive. This needs to be addressed as it's up to $1000 per week more.

We visited Cairns twice during our travels.

We visited Cairns twice during our travels. The first time we explored all the main attractions- Aquarium, Botanic Gardens, Fitzroy Island and stayed in a hotel. Our second stay was for a bit of down time having travelled up to Daintree and the Tablelands. We really wanted a bit of relaxation and self cooking so this apartment was perfect. Great food around the pier area. The seafood on the Prawn Star was superb and if you’re self catering, then Woolies has everything you need. The lagoon is perfect for families as is the Muddy Cafe and play park.

Airlie Beach is beautiful.

Airlie Beach is beautiful. It has a mix of young people/back packers and a few us oldies. The main street is full of bars, cafes, restaurants, boutiques and has a major supermarket. On Saturdays it has the community market by the foreshore. The marinas are close and you can get to them by foot. A great walking track along the foreshore. The lagoon pool is at the foreshore. Airlie Hotel, the Deck, Boho for breakfast and the best acai bowls. We had a hire car and only used it to venture further out otherwise we walked everywhere. Did a day trip to Hamilton Island and Whitehaven beach. Lovely to see and experience.

Seeing Family and friends is always the highlight of our Townsville stay. We were in town to attend a funeral but enjoyed 2 free days either side of that just catching up with family. Particularly enjoyed the Castle Hill goat track walk. Not an easy walk, but you are rewarded with a wonderful view of Magnetic and other surrounding Islands.

We visited during the annual festival of flowers. Gardens are lovely. There's also interesting things to do for train enthusiasts. Plenty of shopping and dining options without the stampede of big cities. I was pleasantly surprized by the amount of green spaces and parks. Plenty of space to read a book, picnic or just walk through parks. Lovely museum and cafes to suite your needs

Port Douglas is a very friendly place.

Port Douglas is a very friendly place. Shop owners love to chat. There are many tours available out to the Great Barrier Reef and snorkelling at the Low Isles. The Lady Douglas River cruise is exceptional value. Food tasting tours available. Explore The Daintree and Mossman Gorge. Or just relax in one of the many great pubs and restaurants in MacrossanStreet, Paddy's Bar, The Court House, The Iron Bar and the Mexican are a few of our favourites.
