Directions from Gold Coast ~ Coolangatta Airport to Retreat Centre travelling by car. Click on these images to enlarge…
Starting point: Gold Coast Airport
End point: 128 Bonnydoon Road, Uki NSW, 2484, Gymea Eco Retreat & Spa
Distance: 45km
Travel time: About 40 minutes by car, we allow 40 – 45 minutes (not rush hour) but to be safe, and if you have a plane to catch allow an hour! Also, be aware in Summer Day Light Savings plays a hand as NSW is an hour in front of Queensland, so if you leave Gymea Retreat @ 10AM (NSW time) you will arrive at Coolangatta Airport / Gold Coast before you have left. This can be a bit confusing, but coming from NSW to QLD you save an hour once you cross the boarder 🙂 but be aware the reverse is true when coming from Coolangatta airport when you arrive 🙁
