NRMA TREASURE ISLAND HOLIDAY PARK, QLD
The Gold Coast is one of Australia's most iconic holiday destinations, and you're sure to find out why at the NRMA Treasure Island Holiday Park. Located at the heart of the Gold Coast and next to Biggera Creek, the park is a fantastic basecamp for exploring the beautiful scenery and attractions of Queensland, from its sparkling beaches and national parks to the many action-packed theme parks (which are only a 15-minute drive from Treasure Island).
