Surfers Paradise

We were invited to spend a weekend in a top notch Gold Coast hotel. After about 190 days(*) on the road, this would be as far from our camping lifestyle as we could get.

Huge rain showers with unlimited hot water, deep opulent bath tubs of steaming hot water, spa pools, beach and sand.

The Merriton is 5 star posh. There is internet, TV, dishwasher, room service and everything luxury. We are nearing the end of our current trip, shortly working our way up the Queensland south east. A few more weeks we will be home after another amazing journey.
