The Gold Coast is well known for its exciting night life, and long stretches of beach often compared to those of Miami.

There are many activities to enjoy on the Gold Coast, including surfing, stand up paddle boarding, mini golf and even ice skating, all within a walking distance of the QT hotel. If you do check out the beach, please remember to swim between the red and yellow flags for your safety!
Further abroad, the wonders of Queensland and northern New South Wales await!
