Activities

Animal lovers
Cuddle a koala. Spar with a wallaby. Get up close with emus and dingoes and the resident platypus. Experience the bush with a visit to a traditional outback farm complete with sheep shearing. Head out to sea to track majestic humpback whales.

Au naturel
Explore “the green behind the gold” – the Gold Coast’s hinterlands, home to three national parks, mountains, waterfalls and spectacular natural rock formations. Stop off at a local vineyard for an afternoon of wine tasting.

Surf's up
Broadbeach is loved by locals for its epic surf, with some of the most challenging rips around. Master the waves with lessons from local surfies at Broadbeach Surf School.

Theme parks
The Gold Coast is home to some of the wildest rides. Spend fun days with family at Warners Bros. Movie World, Dream World, Sea World and Wet ‘n’ Wild.

Pack a picnic
Can’t get enough of the relaxed, coastal vibes of Broadbeach? Then we know you’ll love Burleigh Heads! Just a 15-minute drive down the road, pack some wine and cheese and perk yourself on the Burleigh Hill, a favourite spot among locals with grassy hills and magical views all the way to Surfer’s Paradise.

Retail therapy
With a wide range of world-class shops, the sprawling Pacific Fair Shopping Centre is well worth a day of exploring. Closer to home, local gems include YSL Jewels by Gold Coast designer Fabiene and a fortnightly arts and crafts market down at Kurrawa Park. Place your bets at the The Star, a glitzy casino with plenty of entertainment. Dine locally at one-hat Social Eating House & Bar and relax with blissful massages at nearby Endota Spa.
