Beach vibes, theme park adventures, and a foodie’s paradise – the Gold Coast is calling your name this summer! Let’s dive into why this Aussie gem should definitely be your next warm-weather escape.
Affordable Airfare
Discover budget-friendly flights from Sydney to the Gold Coast, with recent fares as low as $48. Keep an eye out for cost-effective options to Coolangatta and snag an unbeatable deal.
Exceptional Accommodation Options
The Gold Coast is tailor-made for visitors, boasting an abundance of hotels in close proximity to the beach. Selecting a great place to stay is a breeze! During my recent trip, I opted for Mantra Sun City, where the Aztec theme adds a touch of retro charm. Embrace the spacious luxury of accommodations. Like my two-bedroom apartment, complete with a full kitchen, two bathrooms, a generous living and dining area, and even a laundry facility.
I particularly enjoyed the stunning water views, a common feature in many Gold Coast hotels. At Sun City, my accommodation provided a perfect ocean outlook, whether through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room or from the balcony. The hotel’s excellent facilities made my stay even more enjoyable. It includes a pool area, gym, onsite restaurant, and the warm hospitality of the staff.
Breathtaking Beach Experience
While taking a dip in the ocean at Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach is delightful, strolling along the beach offers an equally fantastic experience. Immerse yourself in the outdoor culture as a perfect way to kickstart your day.
Outstanding Buffet Breakfast
Indulge in one of the best buffet breakfasts at QT Gold Coast, described as ‘gasp-worthy’ by the delightful Mitzi from lastminute. It’s a must-try, whether you’re staying at the hotel or not.
