Gold Coast Family Accommodation

The Gold Coast is undoubtedly Australia's favourite family holiday destination and for that reason has more family accommodation than any other city in the country.

Unlike most cities in the world, the majority of holiday beds on the Gold Coast are located in low and high rise apartment complexes which have a number of bedrooms and offer kitchen facilities - making them ideal for families who don't want to rent two hotel rooms.

Most apartments have a pool and are within walking distance from a patrolled beach, so children can have fun in the water and parents will know they are as safe as possible.

A number of larger resorts also offer kids clubs & will entertain anyone aged between 3 and 18 for the better part of the day.
