Conference week my husband books out the week and sometimes we join him or at least the enjoy the facilities or accessibility to the golden sands.
We have found that this has been a good fit for us to have a studio or one bedroom. For the days when hubby is on his own he enjoys the treat of being by himself but mostly the space that is offered more than a hotel room. Still has 4 walls just with a kitchen to make breakfast and dinner, a dining table and a tv that is kitted up to support the chrome cast and portable wifi setup he has to have pictures of the family while he is away, watch something from the tv account we have.
View of the hills has always been pleasant, just a little more relaxing than the buildings that may be between you and the view of the beach after been at conference all day.
It is a short walk from the Surfers Paradise Tram stop and restaurants. Hubby has a bit of a routine on arrival and days following that includes stopping to get supplies at the local convenience store and shops. Pizza is available from three different stores in walking distance, beach is great too.
Staff are friendly and supportive too, even after just check-out we dropped the key cards down the shoot when putting the rubbish out (note to self don't put the key cards in the same hand as the rubbish).
