UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME ON THE GOLDIE

If you are considering a Gold Coast stay, now and in the upcoming months is such an exciting time to be on the GC, with such a stunning lineup of events coming up, as well as the ability to take full advantage of all the warm weather activities available for you to enjoy in our gorgeous Queensland coastal locations.

Learn to surf, play catch on the sand, swim in the ocean and bodysurf, or get the kids catching waves on their body boards or building sandcastles to their heart’s content. Now is the perfect time to explore the array of water based attractions on the Gold Coast. Head to the water parks Wet ‘n’ Wild or White Water World and enjoy full days of sliding, floating, splashing, and diving.

Take on the challenge of the GC Aquapark at the Broadwater Parklands, and see if you can outperform your friends or family in getting to the finish line. Little kids will just adore the rockpool splash zone and waterfall, or wading into the calm waters of the sectioned off swimming area just off the parklands themselves.

Of course you won’t be able to resist the luxe outdoor resort swimming pool at Ipanema where the kids can enjoy hours of fun, andthe parents can relax and soak up some vitamin D, soak in the spa or roman bath, or cook up a storm with the outdoor guest BBQ facilities for alfresco dining and serious summer vibes.

So what is there to do that you won’t want to miss, and which exciting events will be coming up that could tempt you into planning a Gold Coast holiday? We are glad that you asked.
