Bellachara Boutique Hotel - New South Wales - Gerringong

Having visited Gerringong I can certainly recommend it for a quiet getaway. It is a beautiful south coast beach spot. We stayed in the carvan park there and had a great time but I would have preffered this place if it was built then. We were on a tight budget though back then so the park was cheap. Prices start from $235 this is a nice luxury getaway in a beautiful spot.

This is a 4.5 star 52 room luxury boutique hotel with a chic restaurant & wine lounge, beautiful day spa and 2 pools overlooking the mountains and valleys and only 400 metres from the sea, and 1km from the town centre.

So Much to See and Do on the Gold Coast

nospam@example.com (Toni ) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:35:57 -0400

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 itâ€™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 â€œkids programâ€ that has a range of activities which will entertain them for hours on end. On many occasions, resorts will offer â€œkids eat or stay freeâ€ 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.

What is there to do?

The Gold Coast has a solution to keep even the most difficult person occupied. Itâ€™s just where to start that can be the tricky part!

Hit the beach

Fun for all ages, the beach is perfect for a lazy afternoon of reading or going for a swim. Kids will be entertained for hours building sandcastles, while Mum and Dad can relax and take in the beautiful scenery. There are a multitude of beaches on the Gold Coast for visitors to explore and enjoy.

Thrills at the theme parks

The Gold Coast is renowned for its range of fun theme parks. Wetâ€™nâ€™wild, Dream World, Sea World, Warner Bros Movie World or even Frozen World offer something for every age and every adrenaline level.

Shop â€˜til You Drop

Great weather, beautiful beaches and excellent shopping â€“ yes, thatâ€™s the Gold Coast! This city on the water offers shopping for every budget. From high end boutiques, to shopping centres, to quirky market stalls, every fashion sense is catered for in this great city.

There really is so much to discover when visiting the Gold Coast that the only way youâ€™ll ever find out how truly great it is, is to go and see for yourself. So whether youâ€™ve got a family, or looking to get away for the weekend, the Gold Coast is the perfect escape!
