Re: Anyone heading to Brisbane?

We are using Ashmore palms holiday village. $490 per week for five of us, so good value. It's not far from pacific pines. We will do our reccy from there it's only 1 hour to CBD too so not too far out. The girl Lisa was very helpful. You pay 2 weeks up front. Further 2 weeks when we arrive and $150 bond for cleaning and breakages. You need to book 1 month min. After that you can pay by week. Towards end you can pay by day. Perfect if your awaiting on your cargo arriving. Hope this helps. Jo
