I want 2 find budget accommodation on the gold coast for a family of 2 adults, 4 children?

Question

we are planning a family holiday to the gold coast (australia) and would like to know of cheap accommodation. We have 4 children who will be 10, 8, 2 & 6 months, We are planning to go to some of the theme parks (dreamworld, movieworld etc) so would have to have buses or some access to these places.

Answer 1

check out paradise resort surfers paradise, they have good rates that also include 1-2 free kids club sessions per child per day depending on the age of the child, also inludes $5 kids meals at the restaurant and takeaway shop in the resort, there is a small supermarket that wasnt as expensive as i thought it would be. the resort is only about 5-10 minute walk to the shopping centre, sea world was a $10 taxi fare away and other theme parks are about half an hour away. the bus stops at the front of the resort. i went there with my 4 year old daughter in february and it was the cheapest with the most facilities that i could find. i heard ashmore palms is also a good cheap place to stay

Answer 2

There are many  serviced apartment hotels, you do not say which part of Gold Coast. Some good places that have plenty of rooms for a family that are inexpensive and have at least 2 bedrooms are the Breakfree Equinoxe which can sleep 6 easily, plus you get a kitchen also  Baronnet Apartments. The Breakfree Equinoxe for June was a bargain

Answer 3

Circle on Cavill, while its not incredible cheap (try wotif or travelmate for a better deal) it would accomodate your family in one of there 2 bedroom apartments, save you being squished into a tiny hotel room.

Answer 4

www.wotif.com.au =) is an awesome site & they have good deals.

Also for busses its called 'sunseeker'

they pick you up from your hotel & drop you off there!! we stayed at the sunset island resort - amazing apartments with balconies etc @ not too bad a price (especially if you have a entertainment book' membership)

Hope i helped. Also there is a resort in the Gold coast that is Fantastic for families - kids will absolutely love it & you can leave them there (at the play areas) if you want to go to dinner etc

Its called the 'Paradise resort' hotel
