We rented a great, modern 1 BR apartment for 5 nights while in the gold coast. There is a nice lake nearby, with a running / walking track around it and lots of bird life. The gym is basic, but does actually have free weights, which is much better than most accommodation places. The pool was just a little cool, but on a hot day, it would be okay.
The location is good in Varsity lakes with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby, but not particularly convenient for getting to the beach, theme parks and into the hot-spots around the gold coast.

Approximate cost: $130 / pn
