Surfers Paradise with the kids: 3, 5 or 7 nights at Wyndham Surfers Paradise

A Gold Coast holiday with kids can be as busy or as lazy as you like. Beach in the morning, theme park in the afternoon, fish and chips for dinner, or just a pool day with nobody in a rush. What makes it work is having a proper apartment to come back to, with a kitchen, a laundry and room for everyone to spread out.

Wyndham Surfers Paradise gives you a one-bedroom apartment for two adults and two kids, right in the middle of the action. Here's what it costs, when you can go, and how to lock it in for a $99 deposit.

Why Surfers Paradise works for families

Surfers Paradise has the Gold Coast's best-known beach, with patrolled swimming and a wide sweep of sand that runs for kilometres in both directions. Cavill Avenue and the Esplanade are packed with places to eat, and the G:link light rail runs along the coast, so plenty of outings don't need the car at all.

The big theme parks are an easy day trip from Surfers, and when you need a break from the crowds, the national parks of Burleigh Heads and the hinterland are close by. It's the rare destination where both the kids and the parents get what they want.

What's included

• 3, 5 or 7 nights in a one-bedroom apartment at Wyndham Surfers Paradise
• Room for up to 2 adults and 2 kids under 13, with one price for the whole apartment
• A king bed plus a sleeper sofa in the living room
• A fully equipped kitchen, laundry and balcony
• Use of the heated pool, outdoor spa and gym
• A recreation deck with barbecues, alfresco seating and a TV
• Free parking and free Wi-Fi

Pick your season (prices are for the whole apartment)

Apartment and season	Sleeps	3 nights	5 nights	7 nights
1 Bedroom, low season	2 adults + 2 kids	$599 (normally $1,165)	$999 (normally $1,699)	$1,199 (normally $2,299)
1 Bedroom, shoulder season	2 adults + 2 kids	$899 (normally $1,365)	$1,299 (normally $1,999)	$1,599 (normally $2,699)
1 Bedroom, high season	2 adults + 2 kids	$1,099 (normally $1,709)	$1,499 (normally $2,845)	$1,999 (normally $3,999)

Your $99 deposit comes off these totals. That's up to 49% off the normal price, and you don't have to pick your season or nights until you book.

Which one should you choose? If your kids aren't at school yet, or you can take them out for a few days, low season is the best value: a full week for $1,199. Shoulder season opens up far more dates across the year. High season covers the summer holidays, Easter and the end of September. It costs more, but a high-season week is still $1,999 against a normal price of $3,999.

Three easy days in Surfers Paradise

Day one: beach and pool

Check in, drop the bags and walk down to the beach for a swim between the flags. Back at the resort, the heated pool and outdoor spa are perfect for the afternoon. Grab the barbecue on the recreation deck for an easy first dinner.

Day two: theme park day

Pick a theme park and give it the whole day. Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World, Dreamworld and Wet'n'Wild are all an easy day trip from Surfers. Come home tired, cook something simple in the apartment and let everyone crash early.

Day three: the quieter Gold Coast

Take the light rail or drive south to Burleigh Heads for the coastal walk around the headland in the national park, then a swim and lunch by the beach. If you'd rather head inland, Tamborine Mountain and Springbrook are easy day trips with rainforest walks, waterfalls and cooler air.
