Going on a holiday is a
once-a-year experience for most people. For many other people it’s something they experience even
less frequently. Holidays are often pushed aside or put on hold due to work pressures, waiting for school holidays or simply because
one has to save enough money to afford our dream holiday destination. The
simple thought of having a Gold Coast holiday is merely a dream for so many,
but is it? This dream can be more of a reality simply by securing good, value for money accommodation on the Gold Coast.
Most people can’t simply drop everything and go on
a holiday, so when the time comes that we are able to actually take a holiday we like to make sure that everything goes smoothly. You want to book the best
accommodation on the Gold Coast, experience something new and see as many
attractions and do as many activities as possible.
When going on a holiday to a tropical destination like the Gold Coast, it is very important to have a balance of
great experiences that will make your holiday memorable. You’ll want to
experience not just the region’s beaches but also its thriving art scene,
stunning natural sceneries, theme parks and attractions, and the mesmerizing
night life on Surfers Paradise. But for the ultimate holiday, you have to be able
to afford all these luxuries. That is why securing good accommodation at a reasonable price is so important. Spend less money on accommodation so you can
experience more of the finer things in life and enjoy great experiences that will stay with you forever.
You can make this possible through proper planning
and making sure that you don’t over spend when booking
accommodation on the Gold Coast. One way to save and to
stretch your dollar is to find good accommodation at a reasonable price on the Gold Coast way before
your scheduled flight.
Once you've secured reasonable accommodation, you may want to include in your holiday plans the

Top Gold Coast Experiences
If you’re thinking about taking a Gold Coast
holiday and in the process of planning where to visit and what to do to make
your holiday memorable, it might help to know what previous guests have enjoyed
in the region. Below are their top experiences:
Culture and Heritage –
The Gold Coast boasts diverse and unique
cultural heritage and rich history that tourists can experience by taking
heritage walks, by going to exhibitions, and by visiting local museums and
heritage centres. The region’s culture is defined by indigenous people who have
lived and celebrated the area. Must-see cultural and heritage attractions
include the following:·
Gold Coast Convention
and Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach - Conveniently
located adjacent to Jupiters Hotel and Casino, this is a $167 million facility
that serves as the region’s first convention centre where cultural and heritage
exhibitions, sporting, and other special events are typically held throughout
the year.
Gold Coast Hinterland
Heritage Museum - This is where you can find a
wide collection of heritage and historical materials that will give you a
glimpse of the growth and development of the hinterland.
Gold Coast’s UNESCO
sites - The Gold Coast has several
world heritage listed national parks that you cannot afford to miss. These
include Lamington National Park, Tamborine Mountain National Park, Main Range
National Park, and Mt Barney National Park.
Nature Based –Personally, I think that the best thing about the Gold Coast is its
well-preserved natural sceneries. Although the region receives thousands of
visitors everyday, its leaders exert conscious effort to preserve the
environment and natural sceneries. Aside from the hinterland, you should also
check out the region’s best beaches, lakes, and mountains. Local zoos and
wildlife parks should also be on your list!
Indigenous –The Gold Coast boasts some of the country’s richest and most diverse cultural
indigenous experiences that attract thousands of tourists from around the
globe. I recommend taking advantage of Balunjali interpretative cultural kayak
tour that connects pristine nature with Aboriginal culture. This will take you
through Southport Broadwater where you’ll typically find turtles, stingrays,
and dolphins. Here, you can also participate in traditional mock hunt and
participate in lesson on basic survival skills.
Food and wine –One of the best things about the Gold Coast is that you’ll never go hungry.
With wide range of dining options, the region is committed to satisfying your
cravings. Whether you’re looking forward to sampling regional cuisine, craving
for fresh seafood, or looking for buffets that serve international dishes, the
Gold Coast’s dining districts and in particular, the wide range of restaurants
and eateries at Surfers Paradise will surely not disappoint.
