Find Out What Other Visitors Think Of The Website, Resources & Support - Gold Coast Comments
Over the years of running this website since 2006, I have had literally millions of visitors, and answered hundreds and probably thousands of emails and requests for assistance. Along the way, some people have left comments, some have given me feedback, whilst others just say thank you for helping.
On this page, there are a selection of comments that I have received over the years. All the comments found on this page are from real people who have visited this website, used the planning sheets, or have emailed me personally.
I'd like to think that visiting this website is like sitting down with a friend over a cup of coffee (or Italian Hot Chocolate at Max Brenners in Marina Mirage!) and having them tell you about the Gold Coast.
Since I cannot sit down with you in person to do this, my website does that. I hope you enjoy it and I am always open to feedback and comments.
If you are reading this, you are probably after some reassurance that the information is genuine and that you will get real answers. I hope after you have read these comments and searched the website, or asked your question, you too will like this website and the real information it provides to visitors to the Gold Coast.
If you like it, you can help me to get the word out by sharing it with your friends and contacts. Simply go to your favourite pages and share them with your social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc by clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the page. It is really simple :)

X Coffee is a Great Place For Brekkie
by: Chelsea
Just wanted to let you know that I agree X Coffee is a GREAT PLACE FOR BREKKIE!!!
I have been here several times and its great. Outdoor tables to sit in the sun and enjoy the great views of the broadwater.
The food is great. My favourite is the hash stack, and the big breakfast is huge, all great meals with a great price tag.
Service is always prompt, but some morning's you have to get in early for a table (mainly weekends)
Definatly one to try, you wont be disappointed!!!
Note From Annie: Sadly X Coffee is no longer open. I miss X Coffee though.
Really useful (:

Hey Annie.
Me and my friends have found your website extremely useful. We used you site to research the best tourists attractions for our classwork and the teacher is very impressed!Thanks x
Gold Coast Commments - Movie titles
by: Tracey
I can't find how you conduct a 'Movie Search' on this web site, to list where a specific movie is showing at all cinemas, as friends are located in different suburbs throughout the coast.........does this site offer this search tool?
If it does, I then change my rating to 4*, as it is not easy to locate.
Happy New Year!!
Annie Answers:
Searching for Current Movies Showing in Gold Coast
Tracey, this site doesn't list all the current movies showing so you cannot search for the movies. I just couldn't keep that current, I am sure you understand.
You can check each of the cinemas or groups of cinemas on the Gold Coast for what is showing. Main groups are Hoyts, Birch, Caroll Coyle (Event Cinemas), Reading Cinemas (Harbour Town) and Nerang Cinemas.

Incorrect Track Map
by: Greg Russell
The track map shown is incorrect. the track has been shortened for 2010, to before ocean ave. Some of the inside track accomodation is now outside track accomodation.
Annie Notes:
Thanks for the comment Greg. The maps do show the SuperGP track on the SuperGP pages. I am in the process of putting up the new versions for Gold Coast 600. I have made a note on the pages so as to avoid confusion. Thank you so much for taking the time to point this out. It is hard to keep up with all the changes as things happen.
