Amazing Waterfront Apartment

My apartment is the perfect place to either sit, relax and enjoy the surroundings or go and take in all the Gold Coast has to offer. All Themeparks ie. Movie World, SeaWorld etc are within 20mins drive, restaurants, and cafes all within walking distance. The famous Charis Seafood is straight across the road, where you will see pelican feeding at 1:30pm everyday. I love to travel and understand the need for a comfortable place to stay whilst you are travelling... that home away from home!
