Hi everyone...It is Rita and Michael who live on the Gold Coast Queensland. We have been expatriates for over 30 years and now live on the famous Beaches of the Gold Coast. Our Booking.com apartment is spectacular and has so much furniture and brick a brak from all over the World...Have a look at the website and enjoy....We have scored a PERFECT 10 x 4 years in a row from BDC Traveller Review Awards from BDC ..Thanks Booking.com, a fabulous online service. Although we manage over 50 apartments in Queensland, the main one for Booking.com is The Pinnacle Apartments Gold Coast Queensland Australia....Have a look at Google or BDC and see the wonderful 5 Star Luxury apartment. .Enjoy and talk again...Michael and Rita.
Would be wonderful...BUT the price of the Forum is damn expensive and for us the airfares as well, BUT we can see Rita's brothers in Belgium at the same time....it will be good...take care am off to The Pinnacle for an early check in ( 4 meet and greets today ahhhhhhhhh!!!!...........talk soon.)
Hello Benita Cyster..................100% agree (well said ) and "M"......FREEDOM......Wonderful..The Champagne is for you and Katerinka when you both come to the Gold Coast ..we locals call it the Goldie haha.
"M" and Katerinka....................more positive stuff, just ordered another 3 dozen Champagne (it was on special 1/2 price so Go Go !!)
TRUE.............lets be positive !!!!. Katerinka the stories are quite offensive ( we have a youth culture in Australia that involves BINGE Drinking) to a huge degree............we live in Surfers Paradise ( a wonderful beach/sunny/vibrant community of 600,000 people) BUT it is like California, the young people in particular go Surfing/Dancing/Discos/ Beach parties/live Music/plenty of Freedom/go to the shopping centers barefoot and fancy free, we also have a Schoolies three weeks here, where the teenagers are leaving school and we get up to 80,000 Schoolies (look it up on Google) in a three week period, NOT ALL but maybe 2% go out of control, it may sound awful but we have 60/80 Police officers and Police cars/Motor Bikes who stay in Surfers for that period "looking after" the young people !!!.and sometimes it gets out of control...like some of our houses where we have 12/14 guys and girls....................they pay $1,000 per night...minimum 7 nights (cheap accommodation when divided by 12) BUT as I said NOT ALL the time but enough to cause problems and we therefore have NO TOLERENCE and if required kick them out !!
By the way it is also so good to see young people who have just left the authority of school, trying to behave and act Grown up yet have fun fun............sometimes we all forget we were YOUNG once..............they are 17/18 years old. (as I say look up Schoolies Surfers Paradise , on Google,its a very distinct School leaving Aussie thing )
Ireland -B@B....................Hahahaha had to laugh its true..they are GONE GONE the next day or 2...........Bye bye... and then on the other hand, we have had some absolutely lovely charming people stay and I would have them back in a Flash (unless of course if they were IRISH !!!...hahaha.).its a funny business alright ???
Great comments.................Fully agree.
WOW.....Katerinka !!!!!!.We do not EVER have a problem with our apartments BUT we look after many other Holiday homes and sometimes 12/14 Young people stay for 2/4 days ( a nightmare at times) I warn them when I do the meet and greet and we hold a $1,000 BOND...I have had to call the Police on several occasions and we Kick them out and they DO NOT GET THE BOND back. ( a very very messy and uncomfortable experience definitely)
Hi everyone................A tricky one.............for me check in is 2 pm BUT if the guests are arriving late or early, almost ALL the time they ring me or communicate through BBC, I have never really had a major problem with check ins..............and I live only 10 minutes away from the apartment so can change plans in an instant.....and remember (for us) we ONLY have couples or single business people so not a major problem for me but I fully understand the problem, especially if the guests DO NOT COMMUNICATE !!!
Also if I cant do the meet and greet, Rita is there to help and does the meet and greet herself. ( she speaks 4 languages )so if the guests are French/Dutch or German she normally goes and says Hello..BUT I always ask the guests for their arrival time when they book, and ask if there is a change PLEASE contact me. (it works ALMOST ALL the time)........SARAH good comments, I live close by so not a major problem.
