Explore Gold Coast, Queensland

The Gold Coast is Australia's best known holiday region, where the weather averages 300 days of sunshine per year, and over 3 million people visit each year. The major theme parks of Movie World, Seaworld and Dreamworld are perennial holiday favourites.

The Gold Coast is famous for its amazing beaches, with Surfers Paradise right at the centre. A fantastic 70 km string of clean, clear water, golden sands, rolling ocean breaks for sufers, secluded bays and inlets for the less adventurous and with life savers patrolling all the major bathing spots. 

Surfers Paradise has several major shopping precincts and Cavill Avenue is just a short stroll from your apartment at The Quarterdeck.  Shopping is a way of life on the Gold Coast with opportunities to visit resort villages, designer boutiques, elegant arcades and craft markets.

But a Gold Coast holiday is not just about sun, sea, surf and shopping. Travel just a few minutes inland and you are in the midst of the Gold Coast hinterland with its unspoiled rainforests, waterfalls, spectacular views, bush-walking, wildlife and National Parks. 

Scenic drives wind through the area, taking in the rainforest oasis of Tamborine Mountain, Numinbah Valley, Hinze dam, the pioneering history of Beaudesert, the Springbrook plateau and Purlingbrook Falls. 

Is it any wonder the Gold Coast enjoys an international reputation as a fabulous holiday destination.
