OVERVIEW

The Gold Coast is Australia's entertainment capital. It's full of fun things to do and especially notable for it's theme parks.

Spread along a glorious long beach and having fantastic year round sunny weather, the Gold Coast is a perfect spot to take a break if you want to relax, have fun with your partner or family, or try out new and exciting adventurous activities.

There is easily enough here to keep you entertained for a couple of weeks, but if you just want a quick break, you could squeeze in a day at the beach or beside the pool with another day at a theme park or on an adrenaline filled tour over a the course of a long weekend.

 

Take a look at the list below and see what on the Gold Coast stands out for you.

Check Hotel rates or availability

Booking.com is one of the most popular hotel booking websites, they have a wide range of accommodation types and they often have free cancellation, so you can always book and lock in your room with the option to cancel it later. Click the image to see what amazing hotel you could be staying at soon.

We also like Hotels.com who offer an excellent user friendly website, good service, and a good loyalty program where you get a free night for every 10 nights you book through them.

Check Flight rates or availability

Virgin Australia are up there with Qantas in terms of quality of service and they have an extensive number of routes across Australia. Click the image to see what options they have for you to experience an exemplary start to your trip.

If you want to check up on Jetstar, it is best to book through their site directly at jetstar.com as this gives you the best price and full availability. Just remember that checked luggage costs extra.

For flights with Qantas, try looking at auntbetty.com which is operated by Flight Centre. It's an easy to use flight search website that gives you the true price (unlike others, that show dodgy prices) and back-up support from your local Flight Centre store.

This site is supported financially by affiliate links. This means that, should you click on a link to a hotel or airline website, for example, we receive a small commission. The price that you pay is not affected by this. Find out more about this on our About page.

"These links are recommended because I use them myself. They are easy to use sites, offer excellent service, and are sites that I would suggest to my friends and family if they asked."
