    Package Pricing

    World-wide Savings Guarantee

    Saving Guarantee

    Bring us a competitor quote and let us go to work for you.

    We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price and/or value by a minimum of 15%. Conditions.

    Upload Competitor Quote

    Saving Guarantee

    World-wide savings Guarantee

    We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price or value by a minimum of 15% ("price-beat") on the following conditions:

    Note: By requesting a price-beat you are under no obligation to place a booking with us or proceed with the final travel package as the case may be. A non-refundable deposit is required in the case of a tour/travel package price-beat (see below).

    Terms & Conditions

    The following terms and conditions apply to travel plans and accommodation quotes requested from and supplied by Travel Directions Pty. Ltd. trading as Global Escapes Travel, Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club (Australian Escapes) and Kiwi Escapes (the company) and are subject to change without notice. These conditions are to be read in conjunction with our standard booking conditions and conditions applicable to Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership as defined in website FAQs.

    1. ACCOMMODATION-ONLY

    There are two main scenarios:

    (1) You request a price-beat on a specific property. Our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions, provided we have access to be able to book the accommodation through our normal supplier channels.

    If we do not have access to member rates that property we will offer an alternative that is of the same or higher standard, as per our hotel rating system and that meets the stated requirements, subject to availability, and subject to the following:

    1. Any price supplied is an estimate only and is subject to our standard booking conditions.
    2. The price beat and inclusion details will be confirmed in a travel plan.

    (2) We propose a property with member pricing: If the "you pay" price we submit is already discounted using GCash travel credits and the lowest available price at the time it was submitted, it does not qualify. Otherwise our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions.

    A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the applicable objective is achieved.

    2. TRAVEL & TOUR PACKAGES

    Inclusions in travel and tour packages assembled by competitor travel agents, tour companies, wholesalers, online travel promoters will all be different in some way. Packages will typically vary by inclusions, validity, suppliers, component type, standard, terms and conditions, travel date, etc ("package components").

    Our objective in this type of price-beat situation is to assemble a package containing similar and/or higher value package components to that which you present to us. We guarantee to offer at least 15% more total value (through added value) or a price that is 15% lower than the competitor quote ("successful price-beat") subject to the following:

    1. Any package components that are exclusive to specific suppliers to which we do not have access will not be included.
    2. Alternative supplier products of a substantially similar type and standard may be included.
    3. Accommodation may be in a different but similar location.
    4. The price-beat may be based on alternative travel and departure dates.
    5. This guarantee does not apply to flight-only or cruise-only bookings. The booking type must qualify for Getaway Cash travel credits usage (refer to website FAQs).
    6. Added value may include travel services supplied by the company.
    7. Added value may be treated as a price deduction for the purposes of the price-beat.
    8. Any price supplied is an estimate only.
    9. The price beat and inclusion details will be confirmed in a travel plan.

    A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the above objective is achieved.

    3. GENERAL CONDITIONS

    The price-beat must be requested before you place a booking with any other travel agent, online booking agent or property direct in relation to the subject accommodation or package.

    A price-beat may be requested by providing clear, written evidence of the competitor quote as well as your requirements to an employee of the company who performs a reservations or travel consultant role ("company contact") as follows:

    1. Evidence regarding an accommodation-only price-beat may be supplied by phone or email stating the name of the property and room type, where you saw the price (on what website, in what publication etc.)
    2. Evidence regarding a tour or travel package must be provided to us in the form of a written quotation by the competitor travel agent, sent/forwarded via email to your company contact, or to admin@australianescapes.com.au. Enter your name as the email subject line. Alternatively, upload the quote (PDF or Word doc) via the Competitor Price Beater page. It must be a formal quotation, not an advertisement or website page.
    3. Your exact booking requirements including travel/booking date range(s), number and age of travellers and special requirements if any.
    4. The price-beat request and any subsequent travel plan and/or booking is subject to our standard booking conditions.

    A competitor quote presented under this guarantee must be genuine (not contrived) and must be a final, fixed price, backed by verifiable evidence. A competitor quote that we determine is not genuine or final is excluded. The requested date range(s) for travel/tour commencement as well as for individual package components must be realistic and flexible.

    5. TRAVEL/TOUR PACKAGE DEPOSIT GUARANTEE

    This condition applies to travel/tour packages only. We require up to $900 deposit per person (amount depending on package complexity) as a guarantee that you will proceed with the travel plan after we are successful with the price/value beat. This requirement exists because of the amount of travel consultant time required to price according to a competitor quote.

    1. The deposit amount will be deducted from the price if you proceed.
    2. The deposit amount will be refunded in the event that the proposed travel dates are not within the requested date range(s).
    3. Subject to 5.2, if you do not proceed, the deposit amount will be forfeited.

    5. MEMBERSHIP TO BE CURRENT

    Your Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership must be Gold level or above and active and paid up at the time of requesting the price beat.

    "Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul." - Jamie Lyn Beatty

    DAY 1: SUNSHINE COAST

    Who doesn’t love a road trip? One of the many great things about the Sunshine Coast is its proximity to Brisbane. Fly in to Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast and pick up your mini-van or large SUV. Hit the road on your journey to the Sunshine Coast.

    After checking into your luxury coastal resort, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure. Refer to your Lonely Planet guide for things to do as a couple or group.

    DAY 2: SUNSHINE COAST

    Today is your first full day on the Sunshine Coast, spend it how you want! You can do this trip even if you’re not a golfer but if you are, head off for a round at Pelican Waters Golf Club. The club features an impressive driving range, practice putting and chipping greens, and a well-equipped golf shop.

    18 Holes of Golf (or 3-course Dinner):

    Experience the spectacular 18-hole, championship, Greg Norman-designed golf course at Pelican Waters which fittingly boasts one of the finest clubhouses and practice facilities in Australia. The first round is included. If you're not golf-mad you can swap the gold for a 3-course sumptuous dinner at a great restaurant.

    Eumundi Markets (self-guided):

    The largest on the Sunshine Coast and one of the largest in Queensland, the famous Eumundi Markets are a must-visit for anyone looking to snag a bargain or come away with a keepsake of your time spent on the Sunshine Coast. Popular but never crowded, the Eumundi markets are home to over 300 stalls displaying a multitude of arts, crafts and produce. You'll find clothes, pottery, paintings, bowls, hats, bush furniture and more. The markets operate twice a week - Wednesdays and Saturdays.

    DAY 3: NOOSA & FRASER ISLAND

    Fraser Island Day Tour:

    Take a journey of discovery today as you explore Fraser Island onboard a purpose built 4x4 'Warrior' vehicle. In the morning, head to beautiful Noosa where you’ll meet your guide and start your tour with a trip to Inskip Point. There you'll take a short ferry trip over to Fraser Island where you’ll be thrilled with a drive along the magnificent "beach highway" before travelling into the centre of the island to experience one of the clearest lakes you'll ever see, Lake McKenzie.

    Don't forget your swimmers and towel to enjoy a dip in these stunning blue waters. After lunch, be amazed by the sights and smells of the ancient rainforest with a wander through Central Station to Pile Valley before making our way back towards the mainland.

    After your tour, spend some time exploring Noosa. Home to superb day spas, world-class golf courses, stylish shopping and delicious cuisine, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

    DAY 4: SUNSHINE COAST

    Today is yours to enjoy at leisure. Relax seaside and soak up the sun, play some more golf with your partner or friends, or head inland on a tour of the Sunshine Coast’s hinterland.

    Rainforest, Views and Montville Day Tour with Lunch (included in Gold-star package):

    The Sunshine Coast's hinterland and its quaint mountain village of Montville provides a great atmosphere combining rainforest with Australia's version of an English village which was established way back in 1887.

    Take the opportunity to browse through the variety of galleries, art studios and craft shops on display, then take a guided walk through the hinterland proper for an indication of the amazing range of native fauna in the rainforests of the area.

    DAY 5: MOOLOOLABA

    Mooloolaba is one of many resort towns along the Sunshine Coast, the kind of place where the beaches cafes and and restaurants along the waterfront get packed during summer. Today you’ll head there to enjoy a lunch cruise. 

    Mooloolaba Seafood Lunch:

    Glide through the Mooloolaba river waterways, cruise past the Mooloolaba Wharf and Yacht Club and marvel at the luxurious waterfront homes on Minyama island. Dine on fresh seafood (including the famous, locally caught Mooloolaba prawns) while taking in the views.

    After your cruise, stay in Mooloolaba a bit longer to browse the shops, sit at a cafe or experience one of our gorgeous sunsets from the beach, then return to your accommodation or dine out.

    DAY 6: RETURN TO BRISBANE

    Spend the morning soaking up some last-minute experiences before heading back to Brisbane, completing your unforgettable holiday.
