Tesla MODEL 3 2024

We had a fantastic experience! From start to finish, everything was smooth, easy and hassle-free. Blake was fantastic with communication and made the whole process so simple, especially with the pick-up and drop-off of the car. The Tesla itself was amazing to drive — so comfortable, fun and easy to use that by the end of the hire, we actually want to buy a Tesla ourselves!

Had an awesome experience renting Johnothan’s C63S. The car was unreal, super loud, Stage 2 tuned and definitely turned heads. It was clean, well looked after and exactly what I was hoping for. Johnothan was easy to deal with and made the whole process simple. Would definitely recommend renting from him.

Mount Tamborine wineries and scenic hinterland

Mount Tamborine represents the Gold Coast's sophisticated side, featuring boutique wineries, artisan galleries, and charming mountain villages surrounded by subtropical rainforest. The mountain's elevation provides cooler temperatures and stunning views across the coastal plain to the ocean beyond.
