Gold Coast Hotels & Resorts

Gold Coast - Australia's #1 beach playground. Population of approx. 500,000

Located just an hours drive south of Brisbane, the Gold Coast is the heart of Queensland's tourism industry, attracting millions of visitors each year attracted to the unbroken string of golden beaches and world class surf. The beaches are undeniably the major attraction for Gold Coast holidays.

The beaches extend from Coolangatta at the New South Wales border north to Southport and Runaway Bay. The coastline has several great surfing spots as well as secluded estuaries and inlets suitable for small children.

Gold Coast holiday accommodation is mostly available in self catering apartment style lodgings. There are a small number of traditional hotels. Surfers Paradise holiday accommodation is always in heavy demand and offers a wide selection of choices. Broadbeach apartments and resorts tend to cater for a more up market clientele.

The Gold Coast has tons of family entertainment and attractions such as major theme parks such as Dreamworld, Seaworld, Movie World and WhiteWater World. There is no shortage of thrills, spills, action and adventure in a wide variety of tours and attractions.

Adult entertainment is available in clubs and nightclubs with gambling at Jupiters Casino. There is plenty of boutique shopping in several malls and shopping centres, an wide selection of world class Gold Coast golf courses, canal and ocean cruises, hinterland tours, wildlife parks and fine dining.

An old favourite with families is the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary with its rainbow lorikeets that come swooping in from the surrounding bushlands at feeding times. The centre has grown from a simple bird sanctuary to a wildlife reserve with a variety of tourist attractions.

Just 30 minutes inland from the coast is the "green behind the gold", an elevated hinterland of rainforest and national parks that is a very popular day trip destination.
