Dear All Resourceful Parents

We're planning to have a 6 Day Gold Coast Holiday in the coming school break, Weather & our Boys' Health Permitting.

We'll be driving to and from the Gold Coast, staying for 5 nights with our aged 9 and 5 boys.

Does any parent have any Recommendations for :-

1) An apartment with an Indoor Heated Swimming Pool & the 2 Bed Unit has its OWN Dryers & Washing Machine?

2) Good Chinese Restaurant in/near the Surfer Paradise?

Cheers
Fate

Hi, Fate,

actually, i just know my apartment with a very very small heat "spa" pool, and pool with roof covered. Don't know others very well. Please go to www.wotif.com to check it out. I always book OZ studio on that websites. Sometimes with "hot" deal.

And in fact, i just tried 2 chinese restaurant here: golden fortune opposite to courtyard marriot ; regent seafood chinese restaurant (outside regent hotel, opposite to watermark hotel) Pretty good, but not cheap.

Thanks

Hi ALAU

Thanks for your tips - especially at a time when you've been very busy yourself!

Yes, I did visit the wotif.

But it's really difficult to make a decision based on photos alone - it's always better to go with someone's recommnedation.

I finally managed to track down Five self catering apartments/hotels with Indoor Heated Pool,

Q1, Chevron Renaissance Towers, Mantra Sierra Grand, Crown Tower & Regent Apartment.

We've NOT booked the accomodation yet. But most likely to go with the Chevron Renaissance Towers and confirm booking tomorrow.

Regarding the Chinese Restaurant.

I suppose even the NOT so good ones will ask for a Fortune just because it's in a Tourists Hot Spot!! I do NOT mind paying a Premium but just wish the standard is NOT too disappointing. This is one of the main reasons we're visiting Gold Coast - my wife misses Chinese Food!

And another main reason is,













To Use the Half Priced Sea World Vouchers!!

Yes, the Saving of $109 means So Much to her that we're to spend at least 15 times More (for the holiday)!!!!

But then again, there are two Pleasant Surprises,

First, discovering there is a Revolving Restaurant in the Crowne Plaza Hotel; and

Second, it offers Seafood & Asian Buffet.

My boys will be really really over the moon!!

And the Third Pleasant Surprise??










Meeting your family and having "Yam Chai" together?

Cheers
Fate

Dear Parents in Holiday Mood

Our trip is confirmed.

We're to stay at the Chevron Renaissance Tower for 5 nights between 23 and 27 June - yes, we'll be leaving Sunshinec Coast in about an hour!!

Very Tiring

Thanks, ngmammy

I'm now sitting at one of the Internet Cafes opened by the Korean, reading your message.

It's Wonderful for our boys today - they'd a great time at Sea World.

To my wife and I - the "Ah Sam, Ah See" (i.e. No.3 & No. 4), it's a Wonderful "Torture" :

Almost 5 1/2 hour NON stop walking!

I remember seeing the World's Oldest Mother in a newspaper, she's over the age of 60 when giving birth - I could only wish her the best of luck - being a parent, amongst other things, is Very Physical Demanding thing!!

My wife & I have decided to change our schedule for tomorrow - NOT visiting the Dreamworld (when we could be too tired and just Day Dreaming thereat!) Instead, we'll do some local relaxing tour - may be a "Duck Bus and Water Tour" etc.

Trust that you're to have a great hoilday too.

Have to go back to the apartment and guess what is to happen?

















Yes, we're to move to another room!!
Another Long Story!

It seems like that I'm Incident Prone - things never seem to be straight forward for me.

Tell you more next time we see you - we may come down to Sydney for a holiday in the Coming Sept term break.

Cheers
Fate

Thanks & Worried

Hi ALAU

It's Very Nice to meet your family too. Your young boy is so alert and energetic!

Regarding the Duck Bus, this time it was actually the Crocodile Bus (the two takes turn).

We're a bit worried at the beginning, because there were ONLY four of us, thinking that the tour might have to be delayed for hoping more customers turning up.

In the end, we left on time as NOONE else turning up and we're the ONLY four on board! Felt like it's a Chartered Tour!

After having a tour along the main roads, the Bus went into the sea - my boys cheered! (Even though they knew beforehand)

And once the Bus had progressing well in the water, the Driver let our boys to take turn on the wheel and driving the boat!! They even each got a "Certificate" for their good boat driving skill!!

We saw some very nice houses along the waterfront. And for the first time, we saw a house with its OWN helicopter landing spot!!

The tour was about an hour. The only draw back was the noise of the engine - may be because we sat at the FIRST row of seats.

It'll be great if your family is to come to Sunshine Coast, alowing us to show you a more relaxing Lifestyle AND at a more affordable cost.

Cheers
Fate

What happend to the apartment? Why did you move another room? It's hard to make a guess.

Enjoy your holiday and be careful to your diet !!!

Just Back

Dear Quietly Reading & Openly Responding Parents

Our family just back from our 6-day Gold Coast Holiday.

It's very nice to have met another BK parent, ALAU. Her 1-year-old boy is so Cute and her husband is so Generous - giving us Two Free "Yam Chai", one in Gold Coast, and the other one in Brisbane whilst on our way to Sunshine Coast.

Yes, the Lau's family followed us all the way back to Sunshine Coast, staying at Pelican Waters and it's only Fair that we gave them back some Free meals!

Since we have to catch up with all these letters, calls, E Mails, bills etc. (and washing !) after being absent from our home for a while, I've to come back & respond at a later time.

Enjoy your holiday.

Cheers
Fate

Wonderfully Tired Time

Hi chingyu

Yes, we had a Great Time in Gold Coast - though my wife and I (The Ah Sam, Ah Sai - No.3 & No. 4) were Exhausted due to 5 1/2 hour NON stop walking in the Sea World, which to us, at one point was more like the End of the World!

So, we'd visited ONLY two Theme Parks (we dropped the Movie World). And we did NOT even make it to the world famous Surfers Paradise Beach, even though we're staying at the Surfers Paradise Self Catering Apartment! (And it's only 500m away!)

We'd to move room because the first one was kind of dirty and untidy, like urine on the toilet seat, crips under the sofa, bedroom curtains falling off etc. So, we'd been moved from 19/F to 36/F with better view, looking cleaner room etc.!

But still, would you like to guess what we'd found in the new room that disappointed us again?

Cheers
Fate

Disappointed Again

Hi chingyu

I know you've been Busy for posting two feedbacks in my another threads in the "international school" section, reminding those enjoying bashing others parents to be Fair. It's never easy. I've to solute your Bravery Acts and Admire your Great Courage.

The new unit's view outside was good, but inside was as bad - there was trace of faece again, this time in the inside of the toilet and body hairs in the bathroom tub - we just gave up!

Cheers

In fact, I find the hotels in Australia are quite nice. Most of hotels in Italy/Switzerland are even more expensive and low standard. Don't expect too high and life will be happier.

In Milan (Italy), I paid over HK$1500/night for a terrible small single room.

In Vallesalla (Italy), I paid HK$350/night for a spacious tidy room with wonderful scenery.

The End of My Journey in Baby Kingdom

Dear Confusing Australian Parents

I trust you all are as Confused as me,

"Why is this HK parent running around in EVERY Fate's thread, and doing the same thing like this?"

Please have a good read of my recently open thread in "International School" with the title,

"Searching the Best School in the world"

See what you would make of this. Who is Respectable and Who is NOT. It appears that someone is "TRAPPED WITH HATTRESS"

Meanwhile, may I take this Opportunity to thank you all for being So Quietly, Patiently and Positively involved for the last year or so, making me feel like Australia is also my home.

But, it is just that this is about Time to say Goodbye and to tell you all WHY.

And I'm to write my LAST thread with the following title and published here in Australian Parents Club, as my Last Salute to you all Well Behaved Parents & Friends,

"The End of My Journey in Baby Kingdom"

Cheers
Fate

Our family is heading back to Oz for a 2.5 wks holiday, and I am planning to spend 3 days in GC. Any recommendations for me? We are travelling with my 6 year old gal and 1 year old boy! Struggling to choose between Dreamworld, Movie World and Seafood!

So which of the hotel/apartment has indoor heated pool? My kids love swimming!

Thanks!

Seems the one last time Fate's family living in - called Chervon Renaissance - is pretty good. With heated pool and sand also.

i have found a good chinese restaurant in OASIS plaza (near the jupiter casino) called TIN PO in chinese. Good price and good quality of food. But service is "not good", becos too busy and crowd at night. Cost about $50 for a dinner for 2 (with complimentary soup and dessert)

Hi $$$

As ALAU stated, we stayed at the Chervon Renaissance. There are three other hotels/apartments also have indoor swimming pool. I forgot the names now but have mentioned somewhere in this thread before.

We did not have too much time, so we just visited the Dreamworld & Seaworld (Dropped the Movieworld) and our children had a great time.

Hope the above help.

Cheers.
