Hey dudes/dudettes,

Looks like the family is heading up to the GC for a short trip. My wife has a conference on the Monday 8th May in Brisbane so i'm coming up to look after bub... But we're also heading up early Friday 5th so we have a few extra days to snag a few waves and maybe a Green Room catch up.

We're thinking somewhere around Coolangatta/Rainbow Bay so I can sneak over for an early surf then head back and hang with the family, maybe some evening beers...

Hit me up with some recommendations/thoughts, baring in mind:
We prefer quieter accommodation, mid price, pool for the kids.
Small and less crowded LB waves... Yeah, i know, i'm dreaming but I will get up at 4/5am to hit it
We wont have a car so access to good food and kids stuff by foot.

Thanx in advance

That sounds great, I'd recommend staying across the road in of one the holiday apartments there are a few but this one is good,I'm not sure of the cost but you will see the views are fantastic,yes you will get fairly uncrowded waves if your in the water by 4 you will probably only be sharing with one or two,5 if also a good time.

cooly is a ****ing hole. more so if you have kids to entertain. it is a grubby ****hole of a place. nice for a coffee after surf on the esplanade...every other part of it is just decay with nothing to do especially if you do not have transport

World class coffee shops mate and the surf has been rated world class by experts,but yes after dark I would not walk the streets.

Look he wants to surf quality waves with gentlemen and the Coffee Club isn't that bad,but it was him who wants stay at cooly.

Hey Macaha How do you spell PAROCHIAL.

ET.

I went to a school in 4077,stop pricking on me or else

I would go the northern end ..( chrispy loves visitors).... the open beaches mostly always have swell & you are closer to Dream wrld for the kids...the wife will be happy that the kids have something to do .. and if there is a bit of swell at Snapper you can always rent a dent and travel...

i was told the dolfins on the goldie fart rainbows.

Its the coffee equivalent of riding a pop out... And not even a sea plane. More Na Papa...

well said I'm just talking the p!ss on the coffee thing Chrispy is correct once more??

Mantra is very good value, big rooms with washing machine & kitchen. View of GM & Kirra

If the kids are old enough, take'em to currumbin wildlife sanctuary. I had no idea Oz had tree kangaroos till we visited there. Awesome place!

You don't even make full strength beer not surprisesd you can't get decent cup of coffee..

Nescafe blend 43 is probably Considered a delicacy
