Really iconic on the Goldie - the cafe that changed things for us! The coffee has always been pretty good, but this place is leafy and spacious, yet always bustling. It is pretty expensive though and is actually in an up-and-coming but industrial area - interesting!!

Parks & Nature
I (Katie) actually run hiking groups in Springbrook so let me know how far you want to walk and what you want to see and I'll make some recommendations :) We're lucky enough to have a few national parks 40mins to an hour away so we try take advantage of it!

Getting Around
Public Transport on the GC is quite expensive and... well, not amazing. But you can buy a Go Explore card which was brought out just for short term visitors - it's the only card with a daily cap so you can go everywhere (on the Gold Coast, at least) for $10.
