Hey, we are Kate and Ky and we live on the GC with our 2 boys Cooper (3) and Chase (12)
In 1998, at 18, I came over from Perth for a “quick visit’, but fell in love with the Gold Coast the minute I flew over Coolangatta and never went back, much to my mums dismay!
With little cash in the bank I spent my days at the Theme Parks as well as exploring all the natural and “free” activities the Gold Coast had to offer, while drinking $2 Ruskies along the Glitter Strip at night. During this time I learnt how much there is really to do that really doesn’t cost a thing.
When Ky and I first met we brought our mutual love for the water into our dating game. We hired boats, we went to every beach, did surf lessons, waterparks, wakeboard parks.. If it involved water, we gave it a go.
Although he was afraid of heights and with my thinking, I can “cure” him, I bought him a Hot Air Balloon and Q1 Skyclimb for birthday presents.. Neither conquered his fears btw ( just made him wary of future gifts ) and this pressie idea is not something I would recommend others in the same circumstance do. However, I loved each and every minute of both experiences.
Move forward a couple of decades ( and kids ) my passion for exploring the natural beauty of the Gold Coast, but now keeping in mind “does this entertain, and more importantly, wear the kids out while I am at it?” has progressed to a love of experiences to share with them.
We spend our days off experiencing both “operator based experiences” as well as the new “Freebie activities” on offer.
On this site, we only show and recommend experiences and activities that we, our kids and our parents have tried, tested, and loved.
We are passionate about supporting local small businesses that not only give the best customer service but operate ethically and with high moral standards, as well as contribute back to the community or earth in some way.
Our passion is really in making sure our interstate and overseas guests have an absolute ball with our recommended operators as well as seeing sights, locations and experiencing activities you may not have otherwise given a go.
We really are here to guide you through your holiday, so you don’t have to spend hours researching “what to do on the Gold Coast”. Whether you’re a solo traveler, travelling with friends, family or your kids you do not need to look any further;
So grab a glass of wine, sit back and plan your whole trip right here!!
If you have any questions we haven’t answered, contact us and we will grab our own wine and love to discuss your holiday to the GC in more detail.
Who knows, you might love it so much , you won’t go back either 😉
