19th FLOOR TWIN QUEEN BEDS IN UPMARKET HOTEL
We had a wonderful stay at Sally's Mantra Legends Airbnb. Fabulous location and facilities. The pool, spa and gym were awesome! The room was clean, and well set up with everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of bath and beach towels. Due to the cyclone, earlier in the week, the air conditioner wasn't working but Sally organised a fan to be sent to our room straight away. These were unfortunate circumstances and had affected the whole hotel. Thanks for a great time, I highly recommend staying here!

Your guide to Surfers Paradise
All About Surfers Paradise
Surfers Paradise truly lives up to its name. This action-packed and expansive coastal strip located in Queensland’s Gold Coast boasts a glittering skyline and vast stretches of powder-soft sand and crystalline beaches, mixing the exhilarating energy of a city with the peacefulness of a beach town.
Beyond the area’s iconic beaches is a thriving arts and cultural scene. The bustling Cavill Avenue is the shopping centre of the city, and if you work up an appetite, you’ll be spoiled for choice with a diverse selection of eateries. For vibrant nightlife, head to Orchid Avenue: a street studded with bars, clubs, restaurants, and music venues. There is no shortage of activities to take in and enjoy in this electrifying coastal city.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Surfers Paradise
Surfers Paradise boasts a year-round tropical climate, and clear days are best spent on the beach. The city experiences its highest rainfall during January and February, so be sure to pack some rain jackets if you plan on visiting around this time. If visiting between June and September, you might catch a glimpse of the annual whale migration.
Surfers Paradise hosts a variety of events throughout the seasons. During the third week of March, Surfers Paradise hosts an exquisitely curated arts festival that transforms the beachfront into a vibrant gallery showcasing large-scale works from national and international artists. The Gold Coast Film Festival takes place for a week in April, where films and panels are brought pop-up cinemas and venues across the Gold Coast, including Surfers Paradise. Since the city is graced with such pleasant weather year-round, it’s always a great time to book Surfers Paradise holiday houses and explore the beachside attractions.
