    I've stayed at the Anacapri - was getting slightly tired last time I stayed there - who knows, may have new owners by now..... But within 3 blocks to centre of Surfers, have a great pool, and 1 block to beach.

    If you email the resorts, ask them for a 11 day price - may work out cheaper than just booking it online too.

    Have fun in the sun

    I was there this time last year. Ill forward you an e mail adress.
    We had an apartment in central surfers at the chevron renaisance towers. It was a 2 bedroom apartment with bathroom,laundry, lounge and a full kitchen.
    THe place has 3 pools a gym and is seconds away from pubs n resteraunts. easy access to bus to the theme parks
    Literally right underneath it was a supermarket.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    There's only one place to stay in Surfers........Main Beach. Staying in surfers itself can be rather noisy.

    I in the penthouse for a yr & a half in a building called "The Meriton", 29 Woodroffe ave. Great place, all the facilities & not too pricy, step out to all the shops & literally 2 mins walk to the beach & still only a little over 1km from central surfers & a 2min ride over the bridge to Australia Fair


    Tis the best lil suburb on the coast
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Head down the coast to Murwillimbah and turn inland, follow the signs from there. You can check out the hemp embassy, hemp museum, score weed or check out the long term effects of drug use in the faces of the locals.
    It's an education, and a nice drive through some beautiful countryside.

    Never been able to work out why the local authorities allow the drug trade to continue?

    Perhaps you can shed a light on the authorities allowance of the cannabis trade in Nimbin?.......I lived in Oz for many years and could not work out why the coppers let it go!?

    More like he took the great NZ whitewashing machine with him and managed to cover up more than the Ockers could.

    I love Surfers, try and find a nice apartment near Tedder Ave in Main Beach. Main Beach is a nice beach, and Tedder Ave has some good, but reasonably priced food. Make sure you get across to the Factory Outlet mall (forget what it's called).

    I've been there a few times. Like it a lot. Get a decent rental, there is public transport, but it's worth the money. I rented a Jeep Wrangler from a place in the centre last time. Worth every cent.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Harbourtown... was there 2 weeks ago.

    Just my 2c but the theme parks are way over rated. Went to movie world and wish i didn't. Virtually no queues so could go on all the rides as much as I wanted but we left by 2pm. There are only 3 rides worth going on and after the second time they are pretty boring. Would hate to go there in peak season and have to wait an hour each go.

    Me and the mrs stayed at the Mantra on Cavil. Got it for $125 a night on wotif.com, highly recommed you look on there. Only downside is that it only goes 4 weeks ahead, so is a little risky. We had an apartment on 41st floor looking inland (seaside is like $40 more) and it was mint. Only 1 bedroom so you'd need a 2br but pretty cool. Might not be the best for a family of 5 though. Will you have a rental car? I'm not sure I could bear 9 days at surfers, there isn't a heck of a lot to do without a bit of a drive.
