2. LOVE IS IN THE AIR
   Whether you’re on a honeymoon or re-igniting the flame, experience the tranquillity of nature in the Whitsundays where you can unwind with a sensuous massage, enjoy ultimate privacy on a secluded beach or visit the renowned Whitehaven beach by helicopter. Discover Tropical North Queensland as you explore this incredible destination together and create unforgettable memories, admire the spectacular scenery of Cape Tribulation, views of Daintree Rainforest, pamper yourself in Palm Cove or experience a once-in-a-lifetime out in the Great Barrier Reef.
   
   
3. APARTMENTS
   Great option for families and a group of friends but just a few things you need to know when booking an apartment. Each apartment is privately owned therefore the owner can choose to decorate their own unit so the apartment you book may not look like the apartment in our brochure. There are also many three level apartments with NO lifts – you will need to carry your own bags up/ down the stairs. These are serviced 7-10 days of your stay.
   
   
4. FREEDOM ON WHEELS
   Plenty of opportunities to bring out the ‘Sunday Driver’ in you via a range of scenic drives. Hire a car and drive at your own leisure without a care in the world as time is no issue. Either map out your road trip or just take the scenic route and stop along the way and immerse yourself in the changing landscape and take in the different sounds. Road trips are the best to discover all the hidden gems. Just remember, Queensland is a big state, so you won’t run out of destinations, diversions and things to see and do – it can be as long as you want!
   
   
5. EXPAND YOUR PALATE
   Stop the drooling and satisfy those hunger pangs! The importance of food is an essential part of life and Queensland will satisfy your culinary curiosity.
