Where to Stay

Find your perfect Gold Coast accommodation

70 kilometres of coastline, and every stretch of it a different kind of holiday. Below is every type of accommodation we curate — from tree-shaded caravan parks to ocean-view motels, resort suites, private villas, city apartments and budget stays. Tell us your dates and what matters to you, and we'll shortlist the right options.

Tree-lined coastal landscape

Laid-Back & Family-Friendly

Caravan Parks & Holiday Parks

The Gold Coast's most relaxed way to stay. Tree-shaded sites, powered and unpowered, holiday cabins, and parks with ocean views — many within minutes of a beach. Ideal for families, couples, long stays, and anyone who likes the option of packing up and heading north or south to a new beach.

$60–$120/night

Standard Unpowered Sites

Shaded, level sites in established parks. Bring your own caravan or book a powered site. Found in quiet pockets around Tallebudgera, Currumbin and Tweed Heads.

Plan Your Stay
$95–$180/night

Powered Sites

Full power, water and gas hookups for caravans, motorhomes and campervans. Many parks offer ocean-view powered sites with a deck and a view.

Plan Your Stay
$110–$220/night

Ocean-View Sites

Front-row sites looking straight over the Pacific. Wake up to the surf at Tallebudgera, Currumbin or Coolangatta and have coffee on your own deck.

Plan Your Stay
$140–$320/night

Holiday Cabins

Fully self-contained cabins — kitchen, air-con, often a private outdoor kitchen. The comfort of a home with the ease of a park, in Currumbin, Tallebudgera and Burleigh Heads.

Motels & Serviced Stays

Check in, chill out, explore. Motels on the Gold Coast range from beachfront ocean-view rooms in Burleigh Heads and Coolangatta to quiet hinterland retreats above the valley. Drop your bags and you're in — no lobby, no crowds, no fuss.

$180–$350/night

Simple, clean, central. A reliable base in Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach or Burleigh for the price-conscious traveller who'd rather spend the day on the beach than in the room.
