Great caravan park right on the beach. All facilities are clean and well maintained…read more They've got a playground for the little ones and the pass surf spot is only a couple hundred meters from the caravan park. The good thing about Clarkes caravan park is out of the hustle and bustle and is very quiet, but Town is only about 10/15 min walk.

When I was booking a flight to Melbourne Jetstar gave me the option of using Gold Coast Airport…read moreParking because I knew I would need to leave my car there whilst I was away. Make sure you give yourself time beforehand as it is about 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic, away from the airport. Dealing with the gentleman behind the desk was a dream he made it very easy and was a quick check in. I had to wait for the courtesy bus to come back and after 5-10 mins it was back to pick me up. All the staff are very nice and helpful and make it very easy to deal with the company. They were also good at pickups as I didn't have to wait very long and as we got off the courtesy bus the gentleman from the counter was all ready with my keys so it was a very quick exit.

We have used Gold Coast Airport Parking many times without issue, unfortunately last weekend when…read moremy fiancé went to pick up the car she discovered it had been heavily damaged! They didn't even say anything when she picked up the keys! It gets worse... they refuse to fix it. I will never use them again! Let our misfortune be a warning to everyone.

Aside from inadvertently going on a hike on this trail, it was nothing short of spectacular…read more Headed up the path a couple hours before sunset. Stopped at the beaches along the path - the Pass, Wategos, Little Wategos and Tallow Beach on the way back down around the other side. Made it to the lighthouse just in time for the sunset. Many other people up there taking photos and just enjoying the scenery. Also many people on the beach, just hanging out or enjoying a beach picnic for the sunset. This is definitely a way of life in Byron & one I'm jealous of! As previously mentioned, this path is essentially a hike so dress appropriately. Once you pass Wategos, there are a ton of steps to go up towards the lighthouse. Lots of people getting their workout on as well. The lighthouse path is not to be missed on your trip to Byron Bay!

my experience comes from parking at the Gold Coast site…read more while booking and leaving the car is very simple and easy, collecting the car is exceedingly difficult, particularly when the information on the website is deceptive about collecting the car and catching a lift between 8pm and 9pm (closing time). yes, website advertises closing time as 9PM. the first warning sign came when i was dropping the car, i was told that if my flight is delayed, i should contact the staff and they would organize my car to be parked outside for collection, while website advertises closing time as 9PM. when i learned that my flight is delayed and contacted the parking staff, i was told that there is no shuttle service either and i need to find an alternative way to get to the parking at my own costs. naturally, one can ask a question - why a business which is serving travelling customers closes before the airport or why the information about shuttle and car collection is well hidden?

Yep!! wish I had read the reviews before I booked. Very…read moreordinary customer service..aka = none...both at drop off and pick up. Staff smelt of cigarettes and kept us waiting at checkin while they finished their smoke. Had to wait 30mins for the airport pickup...they only have 1 van operating. This was 6pm!! lots of people waiting for the pick-up. We had 3 young children with us, so not a lot of fun waiting that long. Van was smelly and dirty (inside). Cheap and nasty...I will pay more next time for a better service.

Village Square is a small grouping of shops right beside Grand Plaza. Parking on the street is…read moredifficult to access, but there is a a huge parking area behind the shops, which I only came across the other day. I mainly come here to go to JB Hi Fi, but there is also an EB Games, Coffee Club, Urban Burger, Subway, Wok Me Noodle Bar and plenty more shops. Like Village Fair, there is nothing exciting going on here, but it is a far better option then the dreaded Grand Plaza.

If ever in need of secure parking in Fortitude Valley you can't go past McWhirters. McWhirters is a…read morebig secure parking lot, with multiple levels. You can either enter it from Ballow or Warner street but I always tend to take the Warner entrance for some reason. Like all secure parking, it does come at a price however. Prices change depending on what day you are there but generally on weekdays it is $$6 for 20 mins or less and then steadily gets more and more expensive as time goes by. On weekends it will start at $9 for a half hour of parking privilege and then rise and rise some more. There are deals for early birds or late leavers so it is worth checking out the website. The best part about McWhirters Secure Parking is the convenient location, being smack bang in the middle of the Valley. It is also open 24 hours so if you are the sober driver you can take everyone home after a long night of drinks and dancing. Funnily enough, I did catch a couple having a more intimate moment in their car on the second level of McWhirters once. In fact, I was quite impressed at the bouncing of the car, the unintentional accidental beeps, and the fact that all this was happening at around 10pm on a Tuesday of all days. Most of the time however, McWhirters is just a good old place to park your car.

I've been to all of the older stadiums in Australia, and I love Metricon…read more Have a nice outdoor social area with bars, food and TV's, and a stage for a pretty decent cover band before the game. Drinks outside are your usual expensive footy game prices (9 bucks something for a mid strength bourbon), but inside there's a proper bar with ice and full strength spirits for a dollar or so cheaper. Had seats on level 1 in the front row on the wing and they were brilliant. Parking is a little annoying, you have to walk what feels like miles to an intersection and back to opposite where you parked to enter the ground, but they have free shuttle busses back into surfers / Broadbeach and a few other places that didn't have too long a wait. Oh - they have flames going off for a bit of entertainment if that's your thing!
