It's A Great Time To Discover 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.

You can find the right accommodations whether you are a couple, a family or a lone explorer. And whether you prefer a hotel, motel, resort or apartment you'll enjoy it more if you pay less.

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.

You will probably want to be close to the places you will be spending most of your time. A hotel within walking distance of the beach is nice if you expect to spend hours each day riding the waves and working on your tan. However if you are a theme park enthusiast you will probably want to map out the parks and locate yourself as close as possible to your favourite. And then make sure your hotel is one that offers a shuttle bus to all 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.

Don't forget that in Australia traffic drives on the left, something that might be new to people from the US or other countries where drivers keep to the right side of the road. Don't step on the gas when you see signs on the freeways that say the speed limit is 100. That's one hundred kilometres per hour. It's equal to about sixty-two miles per hour.

If you have children or infants with you and plan to stay a while your best choice might be a self contained apartment. Apartments are available that range anywhere from basic to opulent and from cosy to palatial.

Many families find they can cut back on expenses by doing some of their own cooking and laundry. Apartment complexes that rent to families usually have play areas for children and swimming pools the family can enjoy together.

If you have come to the Gold Coast to party you will probably want to be close to Surfers Paradise where the bars and night clubs are practically next door to each other and night life is lively

Talk with your travel agent about where to stay in the Gold Coast. Or you can search online. Many websites are available to help you find the exact accommodations to meet your needs. Don't forget that when it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere it's winter in Australia. Many discounts are available in the off seasons. If you don't see them advertised, ask. You'll have more fun when you have found the cheap Gold Coast accommodation packages that are right for you.
