Vacationers Love Cheap Gold Coast Accommodation Packages

By Jacque Claire


As you head for Australia you can plan on having the best vacation of your life. The Gold Coast has magnificent beaches, a plethora of theme parks, great places for eating, and shopping and a lively nightlife. There's so much to do you'll probably want to save money by exploring cheap Gold Coast Accommodation Packages.

Is this a family vacation, a romantic getaway, a giant family reunion or a solo adventure? There is a hotel, motel, Bed and Breakfast or vacation rental house that is just right for you. Whatever type of accommodation you require, paying less for it will leave more of your vacation budget for doing the fun things you came to do.

When deciding where to stay think about what you want to see. Do you want o look out your window and see the ocean and beaches or the mountains or maybe the city? Maybe you don't expect to be in your room very much so you don't care what's outside the window. Take that preference into account when you are shopping for the right accommodations for you.

There's so much to do you will want to be close to wherever you plan to spend the most time. Are you going to be at the beach basking in the sun and riding those world famous waves? Or do you have plans to spend many long happy hours at one or more of the Gold Coast's world renowned theme parks? You may want a hotel that is walking distance from the beach or one that provides shuttle service to the parks.

Or maybe you plan to be on the road a lot learning about the local aboriginal culture, visiting an art gallery, or whale watching. Your may not care exactly where your hotel is located as long as it has easy freeway access.

Americans and others who drive on the right side of the road might be surprised to learn that Australians drive on the left. They might also be taken aback by speed limit signs that say one hundred until they realize one hundred kilometres per hour is equal to only about sixty two miles per hour.

An apartment might be the perfect accommodation for a family with infants or children. Many apartments complete with kitchens and laundry facilities are available. You can find apartments for rent that are as large or small, as rustic or as elegant as your family requires.

A kitchen and laundry facilities go a long way toward keeping everyone fed and clean without a lot of added expense. Many family-friendly apartment complexes have playgrounds for the children, indoor and outdoor swimming pools

Party animals that come to the gold coast will probably be looking for accommodations near Surfers Paradise, the part of town most famous for its night life. There's always something going on and you don't have to go far to find the next bar or club.

Your travel agent can help you decide where to stay in the Gold Coast or you can do your own shopping online. Many websites are available that can help you find exactly the right accommodations for you. Some offer discounts or money-saving packages. In addition many hotels offer off-season discounts. When it's summer in the northern hemisphere it's winter in Australia and even though the beaches are still sunny and the temperatures are usually in the 70s bargains abound. Ask about discounts if you don't see them advertised. Your trip to Australia will be that much more fun if you find the right cheap Gold Coast accommodation packages for you.
