In 2026, all 77 apartments at Club Wyndham Surfers Paradise will undergo refurbishment. The staged project will begin in April and is scheduled to conclude in the last quarter of the year.
The new design for the apartments is inspired by the Gold Coast sun, surf and sand, and emphasises light blue and sandy hues, with orange accents, while the Sky Suites have a palette of soft greens and sand.
New carpet, patterned to resemble waves along a beach, will be laid in all apartments, while all furniture and soft furnishings will be replaced. New tapware will be installed in the bathrooms, and new splashbacks and floor tiles in the kitchens.

A key highlight is feeding herbivores like giraffes and elephants, and even giving meat to lions and tigers through a protective mesh.
The shrine dates to around 710 AD, founded when a fisherman caught a divine wooden statue in his nets, leading to its establishment under a sacred camphor tree. Renowned for its 2,000-year-old camphor tree – a National Natural Monument with a 23.9-meter trunk circumference – believed to grant longevity (one circumambulation adds a year to life).

Legends claim monkeys bridged the chasm, earning its “monkey bridge” name.
The lake is the largest and highest-elevation lake among the Fuji Five Lakes, lies closest to Mount Fuji at 980 metres above sea level.
