Surfboards & Stockings
Christmas in Australia doesn’t come with snow, it comes with sunshine, surf, and salty hair. While the rest of the world is wrapped in scarves, we’re unwrapping presents on the beach, firing up the barbie, and trading winter boots for thongs.
Drifter is your base for the warm-weather version of Christmas, social, sun-soaked, and perfectly positioned for coastal adventures. Stay with us and celebrate the season the Aussie way: surfboards out, stockings up, and summer in full swing.
