On request by members we’re adding some bargain small-group packages. Here’s one with a golf theme. The Sunshine Coast is perfect for golfing and exploration at any time of year. Discover its vast beaches, thriving food scene and the many natural treasures of the surrounding hinterland. Not a golfer? No-golf option available.
* Two packages are available. Gold Star package highlights shown. See Inclusions for details.
In the style of most Global Escapes Independent Traveler itineraries, this is a perfect blend of self-guided adventure and forward-planning to ensure that the main elements are organised in advance allowing for plenty of time to relax and take in each place you visit.
We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price and/or value by a minimum of 15%. Conditions.
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).
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.
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:
(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.
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:
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the above objective is achieved.
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:
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Spend the morning soaking up some last-minute experiences before heading back to Brisbane, completing your unforgettable holiday.
