    Default Gold Coast Backpackers?

    My friends and I are going up to the Gold Coast in November and are looking for accommodation to stay in for a little under a week.

    Does anybody have any recommendations as to a good backpackers (or even a cheap apartment) on the gold coast that is close to everything; the beach, shops, nightclubs etc? There will be four or five of us and hopefully we will be able to get a room with just us together as well.

    I'm naturally assuming you are speaking about Surfers Paradise?

    Are you open to staying in Coolangatta (South End) or are you all specifically wanting Surfers Paradise?

    What about Broadbeach.. are you open to staying a suburb or two "over" (a quick bus ride away)?

    Also, what dates. Are you staying before or during Schoolies?

    Most of the accommodation around Surfers will be booked out during Schoolies.

    I wish I could help you out however I live here so I have not really had a need to know anything about accommodation.

    Generally I find everything by using google (doing my own research).

    BTW. Everything in Surfers is pretty close to the beach, shops and nightclubs.

    Look for how close to "Orchid Ave" everything is on Google maps as that's where the nightclub precinct in Surfers is located. As for the beach, it is up/down the whole coast. Shops are abundant EVERYWHERE here too.

    Thanks for the info.

    Yes, sorry I wasn't very specific, by gold coast I did mean surfers paradise preferably. We're going before schoolies thankfully. The dates haven't been finalised yet, but it will be around the 13th or 14th of November for 5 days.

    Yeah I have been googling backpackers too but there are sooo many around that area we weren't too sure what they would all be like. (I have stayed in some shockers....all nations on spencer street for some reason, comes to mind).

    Lys: Gold Coast Backpackers seems fairly nice actually from the pics and stuff and a really good location.


    Oh and I'm jack threading my own thread but speaking of queensland, this made me laugh http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599...017865,00.html

    I do trust the following two sites to determine where to stay:

    http://www.hostelz.com/hostels/Austr...rfers-Paradise
    http://www.hostels.com/au.ql.gc.sp.html


    However be very aware (so you may want to actually call the hostel) that some hostels will not accept bookings from Australians. The Islander and Surf N Sun from my quick research only accept international "guests".... there might be others.
