These discounts are extended to all RPAT members. You will note that you can use the discount with your regular / local Travel Agent.

JO PATERSON TRAVEL - As a travel agent I manage the research, planning, and booking of leisure travel arrangements. I can book almost anything from flights and travel insurance to tours and activities to cruises and expeditions. As well as my years in the industry I've personally travelled to 40 countries (23 of them just in the last year), and have a plethora of personal experience to top off my professional knowledge. I love travelling, and leisure travel - of any and all kinds - is my specialty.
I usually charge service fees of up to $130 per person for booking a holiday, but I am also offering to waive my service fees for any RPAT members who book a package holiday (a booking consisting of more than flights alone) with me.
I am contactable by email, phone, social media, etc.

THE REEF RETREAT PALM COVE QUEENSLAND ACCOMMODATION
We are happy to provide support for and encourage members of the Tasmanian Retired Police Association to come to North Queensland for a holiday.
Our offer is essentially a generous discount on accommodation (subject to the time of year).
Our low season is from November through to the end of March.
Shoulder season is April through to mid-June
Peak Season is mid-June to mid-October.
The best time to travel is April-May as the wet season is all but gone as are the stinging jellyfish, along with the humidity. Day time temperatures are pleasant and comfortable. Having said that the discount offer to members is available year-round, in Peak Season of course it is against peak rates and low and shoulder it is against those seasonal rates.
Please also have a preview of the property and the rooms on our website www.reefretreat.com.au
