When you couldn't scrape enough pocket money together for the latest Spice Girls album, a new outfit for mufti day or a killer BMX, you simply "borrowed" from the Bank of Mum and Dad. Unfortunately, that bank inevitably closes somewhere around your 18th birthday, probably because of the quadruple-digit debt you incurred without any intention of ever paying it back.

Luckily, thanks to today's Deal, you don't have to sit around eating beans from a can and counting your loose change. The concept is simple: buy now and pay later! Get ready to party like a rockstar for seven nights with seven friends in a Sub Penthouse of Luxury Skyrise at the Q1 Resort & Spa on the stunning Gold Coast. All you have to do is put down a $199 deposit. The remaining balance of $1800 is payable 28 days prior to your stay.

At only $1999 in total, you'll pay only $41 per person, per night! Unwind in the large living area with stunning views of the ocean, city and hinterland. Your room is fully equipped with a kitchen, two bathrooms, plasma TV, all Austar channels, an Xbox with 100 games, laundry and free parking.

Envision yourself, custodian of a skyrise ocean paradise, in a place where your private garden is a haven of tropical abundance. Your personal sanctuary includes two lagoon swimming pools, waterfalls and a natural white sand beach. Awaiting you is an oceanside beach club with an alfresco café. At your doorstep is an exclusive day spa, indoor lap pool, sauna, steam room and a state of the art gymnasium.

Stroll down for a surf in the cool early morning, then take time out to plan your day. Enjoy lunch in that restaurant you've been wanting to try, linger over coffee in a street-chic cafe just downstairs and finish with a sundowner in a sociable bar before another night's action begins.

Q1 Resort & Spa is Australia's tallest residential tower, perfectly located in the heart of Surfers Paradise right across from the beach! It comprises 526 elite and exclusive apartments that rise up into the sky, capturing breathtaking ocean and hinterland views. Each elegant, state of the art apartment delivers an uncompromising sense of space and freedom and a sleek, modern design.

Perfectly located 100 metres from the golden beaches and a two minute stroll to the heart of Surfers Paradise, Q1 Resort & Spa is just a five minute drive to Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, Jupiters Casino and the new Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. Direct transfers are available to all major theme parks and local attractions. Surfers Paradise is located in the tourist and night life centre of the Gold Coast, on the eastern coast of Queensland.

Mention the Gold Coast and various images come to mind - stunning beaches, exciting theme parks, sun-kissed locals, sophisticated style, the list goes on. The Gold Coast truly offers something for everyone. Enjoy expanses of pristine beaches and watch surfers tame the waves or take the plunge yourself.

Just a short drive inland to the Gold Coast hinterland, you'll feel as though you're miles away from everything. Explore quaint mountain villages and natural escapes in the World Heritage listed Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves. So come and experience the contagious excitement, glorious weather and natural beauty of the Gold Coast.
