Why
Do I Need To Book Early?
The Gold Coast is
renowned for the apartment blocks and resorts that extend along the
whole length of the coastline. It's a common mistake to assume there is plenty of
accommodation available and the need to book early is a myth.
The
most common reason why holiday makers fail to secure a booking, or miss
out on their preferred accommodation, is that their enquiry was made too
late. The Broadbeach accommodation available for casual holiday bookings is
limited for the following reasons.
-
As much as 60% to
70% of the visible accommodation is occupied by permanent
residents.
-
Many holiday
apartments are pre-booked for the following season as guests check
out.
-
Accommodation is
committed to major travel wholesalers and tour group operators
-
Gold Coast festivals
and events result in large block bookings for participants,
spectators etc.
So when you
are advised to book early, it's for a very good reason... you may well
miss out if you don't! When holiday makers fail
to obtain a reservation, or miss out on their preferred accommodation, its
usually because they left it too late.
How Far In Advance?
High
Season is the Xmas - New Year holiday period, usually from
around the 20th Dec. to 20th Jan. but dates will vary between different
properties. It's recommended that you book at least 4-5 months
in advance for the high season.
Mid Season is
usually the September - October school holidays and the Easter long week-end.
Some properties also include the June - July school holidays. Book
at least 3-4 months in advance. Mid season rates sometimes apply to
special events such as the The Armor All Gold Coast 600 motor
race carnival.
Low Season is all other dates.
There is usually no shortage of vacancies during the low season periods but booking
45-60 days in advance is strongly recommended. There are numerous festivals, events,
conferences, conventions etc throughout the year that result in
increased demand for Broadbeach accommodation.
