First time staying here at Ashmore but would happy stay here again. Away from the hustle of surfers but still close to do things in the gold coast area. Our main trip was to go to the Theme parks about a 15-20 min drive away. And Currumbin wildlife park 30min away. Plus a Good range of shopping facilities around also. Plenty of activities to keep the children entertained and a lovely lagoon styled pool. Wake up listening to the sound of the many beautiful macaws which adorn the grounds, and the odd lizard. Great cabin styled accommodation to suit a range of families. I'm sure that my kids will want to go back soon. As my daughter made friends with the staff. But mainly the Macaws keeper. As she visited the Macaws daily. All the staff are happy,friendly and helpful -
