Gold Coast Australia So Much More Than Surfers Paradise

Sea World Resort Gold Coast

Sea World Resort (formerly Sea World Nara Gold Coast) Excellent For Families & Couples



Sea World Resort Links

 

The resort at Sea World in the Gold Coast is excellent for families and couples. It is a large 4½ star resort that was refurbished and renamed in 2008. It is the ultimate choice for Sea World accommodation, you cannot get any closer to the theme park!

To my knowledge this is the only theme park resort in Australia.



SeaWorld Nara Gold Coast was an icon, but had faded in recent years.

The 2008 refurbishment brought this resort back to its 4½ star status.

Sea World Resort Gold Coast is excellent for families and couples looking for a resort style holiday.

The resort is surprisingly large with over 400 rooms, which means it can cater for lots of visitors at once.

In off peak times you can often pick up great Sea World package deals.

Why Stay at Sea World Resort?

Sea World Resort is the only Gold Coast family resort in this area.  It has what I consider to be real resort facilities, plus the added bonus of being right next door to Sea World!


If you are only going to be in the Gold Coast for a couple of days, it is an excellent base away from the hustle, bustle and noise of Surfers Paradise, yet close enough to nip in and enjoy it.

This section is my attempt to describe what I believe makes Sea World Resort special:

Kids Zones

Part of the 2008 refurbishment is the fabulous waterplay area which is modelled upon Buccanneer Bay at Wet 'n' Wild Water Park (also in the Gold Coast).  And more recently in 2009 the old Sea World Water Park has been upgraded and absorbed into the resort for use by resort guests.

These two areas combine to be a fantastic drawcard for the resort.

Parents, meanwhile, can enjoy a dry seat in the adjacent Waterfall Cafe. Bliss!

This is one of the things that makes this resort really family friendly.

There are other child friendly areas including playground, Intensity Games Room, table tennis and I nearly forgot the Kid's Club Room.

I didn't really forget the Kid's Club!

This is an integral part of why it is a great family holiday.  Parents can enjoy a bit of me time at night between 5.30 and 9.00pm. Whilst the children can enjoy a there is a supervised dinner session.

You can enjoy dinner or take in some sights in the Gold Coast and the kids can enjoy their dinner with some new found friends plus some entertainment. The Kids Club is for children aged between 4½ and 12 years.

Sea World Resort Perks

There are some perks for staying at Sea World Resort! Firstly Sea World is right on your door step and secondly you can enjoy a resort guest only tour of Sea World before the park opens which includes getting in the water and feeding the Sea World dolphins!

Every morning at 8.30am you can meet a star from Sesame Street in the Lobby! Yet another perk for families!

Local Restaurants

The restaurants in the resort all seem to cater for family dining. There are several options including:
  • Casual cafe style at the Waterfall Cafe
  • Buffets in The Shoreline which has a different theme each night
  • Japanese in The Hatsuhana restaurant including teppanyaki, a la carte japanese dishes and fresh sushi.
  • The Melrose has an interesting selection including influences from Asia, New Orleans and the Mediterranean - plus a great dinner deal for the children.
If you don't feel like facing the world, there is an excellent Room Service Menu which is available from 6am to midnight (which is pretty good for the Gold Coast!).

For fine dining you are just a short drive to Vanitas Restaurant at Palazzo Versace, or the restaurants and cafes at Marina Mirage and the less formal Mariners Cove. Tedder Avenue is about 5 minutes by car and central Surfers only another couple of minutes.

Sea World Packages



The resort often has specials and packages.  

Sea World Resort packages are variable, but you can often find deals that include entry to Sea World and/or the other theme parks and attractions in the Gold Coast Sea World family including:

  • Wet 'n' Wild Water Park
  • Movie World (Hollywood on the Gold Coast)
  • Australian Outback Adventure

Sea World Resort Not What You Are Looking For?

Sea World Resort is located on the Spit just north of the main part of Main Beach. It is about 4kms north of Surfers Paradise.  Southport and Labrador are within a 10 minute drive and Broadbeach takes just over 10 minutes by car. All of these areas have plenty of accommodation to choose from with a range of styles and prices.

Looking for more than 4½ stars?

Try these:
  • Palazzo Versace (6 star) - this is a truly opulent place to stay situated next door to Marina Mirage.
  • Sheraton Mirage (5 star) - fabulous accommodation set in a brilliant location opposite Marina Mirage and a short trip to Sea World, Main Beach and Surfers Paradise.
