Where to stay
October is a very busy time for beachside holidays in Australia, so we recommend making arrangements as soon as possible.
We recommend people stay on the Gold Coast, a coastal city in the state of Queensland, Australia known for its beautiful white sand beaches, surfing, and rainforest hinterland.
Specifically, we are recommending two beach towns:
1. Burleigh Heads: a popular beach town with a lively cafe and dining scene and a great range of beachside serviced apartments and homes (think no frills pretty beach town). This town will be our home base.
2. Broadbeach: a bustling beach town 10 mins north of Burleigh Heads by car with higher-end choices for accommodation (think Miami).
There are many towns close by, if you are unsure where to book, just reach out to us!
We will be providing a return coach service to and from the wedding from Burleigh Heads and Broadbeach.
There is a range of accommodation options from hotels, to homes, and self-serviced apartments (which is a very common and popular choice in Australia). Booking.com, Airbnb, VRBO and stayz.com.au are great places to check out accommodation options. Please read cancellation policies carefully.
Some recommendations:
1. Boardwalk Burleigh Beach:
- book on booking.com
- book on airbnb.com
- book on the official Boardwalk website (not refundable)
2. Ambience on Burleigh Beach
3. The Star & The Darling in Broadbeach
Booking code: WEDTVE (20% discount)
