Tips for Travelers to Gold Coast in April

For Australian Visitors

Weatherwise a great time to visit – recommend avoiding school holidays if you don’t have children and if you do – book early.

Accommodation with air-conditioning is highly recommended at this time of year.

For Visitors from Overseas

April is a great time of year – the weather is usually very accommodating!

If you need to travel around the Easter or school holiday periods be aware that accommodation and flights within Australia tend to book up early – especially if you are after a good deal.

In the main areas most businesses catering for visitors remain open throughout Easter, but if you are off the beaten track a little be conscious that holidays to Aussies are sacred and most things will be shut!

Quality, air-conditioned accommodation in a good location is still the best pick.
