This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get!

The hard part is, that there is no one right answer, because it depends upon many different factors.

This section of my website is designed to help answer your general questions so that you can find the best time to visit the Gold Coast for YOU!

One of the main things I want to know when I go on holiday, is what the weather will be like. That helps me decide what to pack, what to expect and what sorts of things we can do. Of course there are never any guarantees when it comes to weather, but at least you can be prepared.

And one of the great things about the Gold Coast is that there is always plenty to do even if it is raining and it does rain here sometimes, which is why we have such beautiful rainforest up in the hinterland.

There are two different reasons you could be looking for this information:

1. You are trying to decide when the best time to visit the Gold Coast and need some guidance in choosing the right time for you.
2. You already have dates organised (e.g. work or school holidays pin you down to certain times) and want to know more about what to expect during your visit.
