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 make sure you book early so you get the accommodation you want.

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. This is especially true 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! Particularly Good Friday.

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