hi. managed to grab air asia tix to gold coast at RM615/pax inclusive of fuel and tax. travelling in sept. anyone know of budget apartment for rent? for 5 ppl.

615 is a good price!! the best way is to search for apartments using agoda, booking.com etc

i've checked. most of them are at least AUD700 above for 4 nights.... not sure if anyone know any cheaper ones.

i am travelling in june and price is between 550 to 600AUD for 5 nights, 4 pax. Considering seacrest, hawaiian surfers, mari court and santana

i think coz sept is aus school holidays. that's why it's more expensive. i'll check out the other locations. thanks

Anyone in Gold Coast next month? My trip is 16th to 25th, maybe we could share costs and travel together?

The further away u from Surfers Paradise Boulevard the cheapest it gets. I rent one ard 15 mins walk from the centre & it cost me AUD78/nite. Its not the newest but its good enuff for me.

Check out Coolangatta Ocean View. Family room can fit 5 ppl.
Stayed there in '08 -- close to beaches and Coolangatta town centre. Nice spot.

Its super far away from Surfer's paradise ler......

25km only. In any case if you visit the Gold Coast, rent a car for best mobility. Then can drive north to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, and south to beautiful Byron Bay also.

I would rather pay abit more to stay besides Surfer's Paradise then. There are good family apartments you can rent at about AUD100/night if more than 7 days...

Agree, better to stay a bit further from center of GC and get a car to move around. Byron Bay is a must go !

Hi All, planning to Gold Coast and Brisbane? You may refer to www.exploringfairyland.com for the full detail of what places of interest in Brisbane and Gold Coast. We went there last year April, hence we had all the itinerary could help in preparing your trip. Enjoy!

how much would you all estimate to spend in GC for 4 days exclude theme park ticket price?

Maybe 1 of the day will go Brisbane though.

I need estimate how much Aussie dollar to change as currently the rate very high

I was quoted 480 AUD for 5 nights, 4 pax for Surfers Hawaiian (going on first week of June). No sure if that is the best deal though.
Also, we have paid 200 AUD as deposit plus another 300 AUD authority or cash bond in case there is any damage.
My ticket was around RM 670.

480 AUD for 5 nights, 4 pax at Surfers Hawaiian is a very good deal. Which website you get that offer from, and how do you place your booking? Mine is on the second week.

Thanks for sharing.

isn't june winter in gold coast? It's low season that's why it's cheap.
