Gold Coast Travel Forum

Hi folks,

I'm planning a trip for the entire family to Brisbane in Feb.

We are looking at 6 adults, 2 kids and 1 infant.

And we hope to cover the following in 2 weeks:

Farm stay
Fraser Island
Winery
Gold coast 3 worlds + Sanctuaries
Sunshine coast
Moreton Bay
Pelican Park
Stradbroke Island

First question is, is there any apartments with centralised location recommended for 8 pax based on the above?

And we plan to self drive, any car rentals recommended?

Is there any places I've miss out?

Thanks.

Wow, that is a lot to cram into within just two weeks. You may want to rethink where the most important places are that you would like to go. The Southern most point of the Sunshine Coast and the Northern most point of the Gold Coast are approximately 2 to 2.5 hours drive.

Most of what you have mentioned are based in two areas:
Gold Coast; and
Sunshine Coast

May I recommend that you stay one week in each town?

The Gold Coast has the following attractions:
Wet N Wild
Dreamworld
Seaworld
Movie World
Currumbin Sanctuary
South Stradbroke Island

The Sunshine Coast has the following attractions:
Moreton Bay & Fraser Island (approximately 2 hours away from the south end of the Sunshine Coast)
Australia Zoo (south sunshine coast)

Car Rentals to consider (you will need to get two cars by the sounds of it):
Budget
Avis
Europcar
Hertz
Thrifty
