Gold Coast Travel Forum

Hi All,

any idea how can I get to Central Park Plaza (area of factory outlets shops including no less than 3 huge Billabong shops, and other famous brands such as Timberland, Cult and many more) from Watermark Hotel Gold Coast located at Surfers Paradise Blvd?

Thanks

I believe Central Park Plaza is situated in Ashmore, just west of Southport. You could muck around getting public transport (buses) but it's not that far away from Surfers Paradise, I would suggest getting a taxi.
Another good shopping area with factory outlets is "Harbourtown" about 10 minutes north of Ashmore.

I agree, taxi is the way to go to Central Park PLaza, but buses to Harbour Town from Surfers will be a bit easier with a direct route.

Harbour Town is a great outlet shopping centre.

If you decide to go to Harbour Town(which I recommend you do)travelling by bus is very easy.

There is a bus stop about 50 mtres south from the Watermark on the main road.

There are 2 buses that go to Harbour Town.Route 703 terminates at Harbour Town & runs around every 30 mins & will cost you about $5 return also route 709 to Helensvale Rail goes via Harbour Town.
