Unearth Top Value Gold Coast Accommodation Deals, Queensland

By Bailey Jamieson


The best Gold Coast accommodation deals will often be found via specialist Australia/New Zealand hotel booking websites. It will also sometimes be possible to find good package deals from hotels such as Sea World Resort which are linked to theme parks. These deals may combine theme park admission tickets with a good rate on hotel rooms. Hotels of all classes can be found in the area, ranging from backpackers hotels and budget hotels, to the best luxury hotels. There are also a considerable number of self catering apartments. Some of these are in large complexes, with many facilities, including family friendly facilities, while smaller apartment complexes are often found in quieter riverside or beach-side locations.

Surfers Paradise is one of the most popular suburbs in the region. It is famous for its high rise architecture, and the Surfers skyline can be seen from most parts of Gold Coast. As the Schoolies Week celebrations occur here at the end of the school year, there is a fair amount of budget and backpackers accommodation available in town.

Close to Surfers one can find some of Australia's best theme parks. Sea World is in Southport, next to Surfers, and Warner Brothers Movie World and Wet-n-Wild Water World are in Oxenford. There are package deal tickets available to those who wish to visit more than one of these theme parks.

It is also possible to find good value packages from resorts, such as Sea World Resort, which are linked to theme parks. These can combine a good rate on accommodation, with entry tickets for a theme park. Sea World Resort is a family friendly hotel, with amenities including a children's play area and play club, and a kiddies pool.

The local airport is on the Queensland/New South Wales border at Coolangatta. Surfside Buslines, the local bus operator, run a shuttle service from the airport to all registered accommodation in the area. This can be booked in advance, or on arrival at the airport. Family and pensioner tickets are available. Surfside Buslines also have theme park transfer services for holidaymakers.

Self catering apartments are the choice of many visitors. Sometime these are in very large complexes, and have many amenities, such as some of the complexes in central Surfers Paradise. A large self catering apartment complex may be expected to have facilities such as tennis courts, putting green, separate kids and adult pool etc

Smaller complexes may often be found in Biggera Waters, Broadwater and other suburbs. These may often be rather quieter and more relaxed than the centre of Surfers, and will often be in attractive surroundings, such as riverside and beachfront locations.

Apartments normally have between one and three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, including washer and dryer, and a living/dining area. Amenities may vary between complexes, but most have a pool, a sundeck of some description, and a barbecue area. Many apartment blocks have attractive courtyard gardens, or landscaped, tropical gardens.
