Surfers paradise apartments

**davebullet** · 15th September 2009, 20:11

Can anyone recommend anything for an 11 day holiday in March next year?

Most of the places I've searched on get reviews of being tatty, 'roach infested or noisy. Maybe I'm just being too cheap. We are looking around the $150 per night mark. Would consider staying anywhere from Main Beach to Mermaid Beach.

Taking the family - me, the wife'ette and 3 boys (ages 12 - 14) to do the scream parks.

Thanks.

Surfers Aquarius on Broadbeach is very nice and Santorini at Nobbys (Magic Mountain) is very tidy too.

I don't know what the prices are but we had one of our cheapest holidays ever when we got a deal to Santorini.

Both times we've been we've stayed at Chevron Palms on Chevron Island. Quieter than in the centre of Surfers but still only a 5 min walk to the hub of Surfers. First time we stayed was better than the last as they were busy building an apartment building behind the place so was a bit noisey and I think the place had just got new managers. However, they are reasonably priced if you are staying for longer than about 5 nights because they don't service the room daily and they are self contained units so have full kitchen, full sized fridge, washing machine, drier etc. Could be worth an enquiry, ask if the building has finished, it was a year ago, but Aussies, they are slack as shit!!

Stayin in a place right next to Currumbin (sp?) wildlife park for a week in January, think it's Palm Beach, 20 minutes out of the city but it is right on the beach. Will let ya know what its like. Sounds good, so gonna give it a go.... Same size family and all.....

We holiday there almost every year.

Only time the whole family (Me, Mum, Nana and two teenage boys) went with us we stayed at Mari Court Resort.

It was an excellent place to stay and very handy to both Surfers and Broadbeach.
The Two Bedroom apartmens starting at $148/night will be plenty big enough for your needs.

My brother inlaw takes his family to either Turtle Beach (good for younger families) or to Ashmore Palms Holiday Park. Ashmore Palms is very handy for the theme parks and is only a short bus ride to Surfers.

Try one of these.

The kids will love it there.

Weathers very nice in March too.

Since your there for 11 days why don't you check out the apartments they have in Broadbeach. We stayed in a few and they are awesome. Also you can organise buses to the theme parks etc for next to nothing.

We have stayed at The Marakesh,good rooms and ammenities nice and central......Seaworld Resort,well worth the money great pools etc and easy access to Sea World. Spent time at Turtle Beach, also worth the money but ask for a down stairs unit if your taking children(easy to come and go to pools etc)stairs are hard work if your on the top floor.Diamond sands is next to Turtle beach and also worth a visit......

We too stayed at the Marakesh. Handy to everywhere and nice apartments with pool, gym and can catch a bus from right outside to anywhere. Looking at going back for 40th birthday parties in couple of years. Adults and kids. Recommend it

The Breakers, Old Burleigh Rd.

We stay there most years.
Right on the beachfront, more Broadbeach end. own heated pool and private access to beach.
10 mins walk to Broadbeach shops & restuarants, 15 mins to Surfers central.
Last there 2 months ago.
Was $1300A for 9 nights in a 2 bedroom real flash apartment over looking the beach.

Been Hotel Watermark twice....
Just out the back door and your right in the guts of Surfers.
4and a half stars, good tucker, swiming pools and all that stuff.
I'd do it again, might be different with kids but......
