The Gold Coast needs no introduction as everyone’s favourite getaway, except now you can visit anytime you like. Clear it with your boss first, and you can spend your days between emails, teal water, spreadsheets, and golden sand.
STAY
The QT Gold Coast is a modern and energetic hotel in Surfers Paradise: close enough to everything you want but slightly removed from the busy side of things.
CHOOSE YOUR BREAKFAST
QT’s Fixx café
Grab your daily dose of caffeine and flaky pastries at QT’s lobby-side café. This is a great spot to start your day between coffee, a dip in the pool, and setting your work schedule for the day.
Starting from 6.30 am every day, you’ll find colourful plates and piping hot coffee.
A Gold Coast institution and a solid reason to visit the suburb of Broadbeach. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and they’re perfectly happy if you whip out your laptop.
Bumbles
The breakfast spot that feels like a home away from home, with mouth-watering house-baked treats and comfortable seating.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST ONLINE MEETING
Surf Lesson with Surf in Paradise

Pure Aloha‘s SUP Yoga
How does performing yoga floating on a picturesque creek mouth with the sunrise as company sound?
BLOCK YOUR CALENDAR
Turn on your Away status and break up your work day at one of these worthy lunch spots.
Tuck into a show-stopping American diner-style menu and wash it all back with freshly brewed tap beers made on-site.
Only steps off the beach, you can transition from the Pacific Ocean to tasty lunch options in seconds.
Between a dedicated frosé bar, waterside seating, and famous seafood platters, this light and spacious venue is a worthy afternoon hangout spot.
WHEN YOU CLOCK OFF

Australian Kayaking Adventures
When it comes to powering off or killing some time between projects, paddling out into cerulean waters and finding hidden sandbars should be high on your list..
Round off an enjoyable and industrious day by swinging by the bar at QT Gold Coast’s Japanese restaurant, Yamagen. Their whisky tasting takes four premium spirits and embarks you on a journey through the sense of taste with carefully paired sushi rolls accompanying each drink.
DINNER
A refined izakaya dining experience awaits you with multiple styles of Japanese cuisine and old and new-school flavours to choose from.
Live music, a carefully curated menu, and an extensive drinks menu: what more could you want?
A seafood lover’s dream. Whether you’re into grilled lobster thermidor or deftly created sashimi platters, there’s something for everyone here.
