Sunshine, clear water, beautiful scenery, immaculate beaches, great shopping, tasty food and phenomenal weather - sounds like the perfect place to take a holiday! But where is this amazing place? The Gold Coast of course!
Where to Stay
Accommodation can make or break your holiday, so it’s important to understand what you need to look for when choosing a place to stay.
1. Resorts: These are perfect for families with small children. More often than not, resorts will have a “kids program†that has a range of activities which will entertain them for hours on end. On many occasions, resorts will offer “kids eat or stay free†deals, so be sure to research this thoroughly.
2. Apartments: This type of accommodation is perfect for holiday makers that are looking for many of the comforts from home. Apartments will often have facilities for you to prepare and cook your own meals and also have a washing machine and dryer, which is great for those looking to budget their money.
3. Backpacker Hostels: The ultimate for singles or couples looking to save, save, save! There are often a few choices when it comes to rooms, like dorms with a shared bathroom or private rooms with an ensuite. This option is perfect for those who will be out and about most of the day and just want a comfortable place to lay their head at night.
4. Hotels/Motels: Depending on your length of stay and budget, hotels and motels can be a great accommodation choice. Like hostels, these too are perfect for vacationers who will be spending most of the time out of their room. Most hotels or motels provide basic tea and coffee making facilities, a TV, toiletries and an iron. If there is anything in particular you will need throughout your stay however, you may want to ask before booking.
