Pure Luxury, Plantation Resort at Rainbow Beach January 20, 2009

The Plantation Resort at Rainbow Beach shows families the Renaissance of the Beachside Holiday

With international travel currently more expensive than domestic short-haul breaks, the opening last month of The Plantation Resort at Rainbow Beach could not have come at a better time.

General Manager, Joy Cartwright said that, recognising the tightening financial situation, the 5 star resort had put together some amazing offers and promotions to bring an affordable break within everyone’s reach and bring back the great Australian summer holiday.

“We’ve done very well over Christmas and have found that the South East Queensland drive market has been the source of the majority of our bookings to Rainbow Beach, an easy three hour drive north of Brisbane also serviced by the local airport,” she continued.

“With belts a little tighter this summer, we have found that holiday-makers are still travelling, but are being more selective and happy to choose self-catered apartments instead of hotel rooms particularly for a family holiday experience to relax and unwind,” said Cartwright.

The Plantation Resort is a stylish, modern and sophisticated resort which features a natural colour palette and marble finishes. A choice of one, two & three bedroom apartments and luxury beachfront suites & penthouses are available.

Resort facilities include a swimming pool and spa, a variety of dining options including the Rainbow Beach Hotel, and soon to be opened Day Spa and boutique retail shopping plaza.

“The Plantation Resort offers a multitude of activities to fill your time including day trips to Fraser Island or other spectacular nature tours, fishing and four wheel drive trips offering a scope of holiday experiences that is hard to beat,” Cartwright continued.

NEW Holiday Deals are now on offer with all holiday-makers entitled to receive a FREE Holiday Voucher book loaded with discount offers from The Plantation Resort and supporting local businesses.
Stay and Play Local Rates start at AUD$240.00p.n. for a 1 bedroom apartment from AUD$270.00 p.n. for a 2 bedroom apartment and rates from AUD$330.00p.n. for a 3 bedroom apartment.

Luxury Gold Coast cruising September 25, 2008

FIRST-TIMERS to the Gold Coast flock to the iconic surf-beach waterline, immersing themselves in the clear waters of the Pacific Ocean and marvelling at the skyscrapers that line the beachfront.

But water is the key to the Gold Coast in so many more ways. Salty sea, brackish, fresh, a lack of it, or too much of it during summer storms.

Water surrounds most of the suburbs, but you can’t see a lot of it because these gated housing communities allow access only to the few who live there and have an electronic key for the security gates.

But if you were to take to Gold Coast waters on a boat, it opens the key to these canal-side communities and a whole world of leisure boating options from fishing, overnighting or just cruising and taking in the sights in the usually balmy climate year round.
