 Australia's Gold Coast is recognised as one of the world's great holiday destinations. For decades holidaymakers have been attracted to this 70km stretch of uninterrupted beaches sitting at the southern end of the Queensland coastline.
The Broadwater region can now justly claim to be one of the most diverse locations on the Gold Coast with its mix of protected waterways, access to the ocean surf beaches and close proximity to the major Gold Coast venues and holiday attractions.
The separation between Broadwater and the high density areas of the Gold Coast provides a quiet tranquility that makes for a perfect holiday location.
Holidaymakers arriving by air may embark at either the international or domestic terminals in Brisbane to the north, or the domestic terminal at Coolangatta to the south. The major airline carriers are Qantas and Virgin Blue.
Travel time to the Broadwater from the Brisbane airport is approximately 1hour on the Pacific Motorway M1. Travel time on the highway from Coolangatta is approximately 30mins.
The most direct access to the Broadwater if coming from Brisbane on the Pacific Motorway is Exit 62 (through South Helensvale) and if coming from Coolangatta, Exit 66.
There are a number of options for airport transfers from Brisbane and Coolangatta – just contact your accommodation provider who will gladly assist you with arrangements. Leaving your car at home could be the best thing you do! The Gold Coast boasts a very comprehensive selection of motor vehicle rentals ranging from economy compacts through to luxury sportsters. The road networks are simple and driving is a breeze!
Surfside Buslines provide an excellent 24 hour public bus service with regular services linking all the major Gold Coast locations. Pick up and set-down locations are adjacent all the major centres.
