Planning an unforgettable family holiday on the Gold Coast with lots of fun trips, activities and, of course, some all-essential down time? 

As Meghan Trainor so aptly puts it, “It’s all about the base.” (Or was it ‘bass’?)

That’s because where you base yourself for your Gold Coast holiday can really make or break your time away. 

You need somewhere that’s close enough to the main attractions so that you can get out and see everything without feeling like you’ve spent all your time in the car. 

But it’s also nice if you can find the kind of place that makes you never want to leave. You know, somewhere that just instantly puts you in holiday mode and just staying in is an escape in itself. 

Nail down a base like that and an amazing Gold Coast holiday is almost guaranteed.

Three steps to a fun family holiday on the Gold Coast:

1. Find the perfect base

To save yourself the trouble, we already have one all sorted. 

Endeavour Foundation’s $2.2 million dream Prize Home, in Coomera, at the gateway to the Gold Coast, makes the perfect base for a fun family holiday. Or, if you’re from just up the road in Brisbane, it could also be the perfect weekender. 

Only 40 minutes from the Brissie CBD, if you knock off from work on a Friday afternoon, you could be pulling up to your amazing holiday home just in time for dinner.

And with Surfers Paradise, and the start of the Gold Coast strip, just 30 minutes down the road, not to mention canal access so close that you can see it out your window, you’re perfectly positioned for family daytrips and unforgettable adventures on land and on the water. 

2. Plan fun holiday outings the family will love

Whether you choose to spend your days chilling on the beach under a Cool Cabana, chasing adrenaline-injected family experiences like jetboating and high rope challenges, or getting a healthy dose of retail therapy, you’ll find it all on the Gold Coast. 

One minor detail we haven’t mentioned yet, is that our dream Prize Home also just happens to be located in the unofficial theme park capital of Australia. 

Which means you’re just minutes from Australia’s biggest theme park (that’s Dreamworld for the uninitiated) and the thrills of WhiteWater World, plus Movieworld and Wet&Wild are just across the highway.

Win this Prize Home and we predict there’s a good chance there’ll be some theme park season tickets in your future.

However, it’s not just theme parks that makes this area such a great holiday base. 

If you’re a keen golfer, or keen to become one, you have the pick of three golf courses in the vicinity (Gainsborough Greens and Sanctuary Cove’s The Palms and The Pines).

And there’s plenty of local cafes and restaurants to try so that you can stay in holiday mode and away from the stove.

But the real pearl of this location is the direct canal access to the Gold Coast Broadwater, South Stradbroke Island and, in a nutshell, boating paradise. 

Don’t have a boat? No problem. If you win, your $2.3 million Prize Home package will come with $300,000 in cashable gold bullion, which should be more than enough to find something you’d be happy to take out on the water. 

3. Plan to stay in

Now that we’ve told you about all the things you can go out and do, you might just decide that staying in is the quiet escape you need. 

With breezy coastal interiors, stunning water views and a sparkling lap pool, just spending time in this Gold Coast getaway is a holiday in itself. 

Imagine starting your morning routine in your dedicated Pilates studio followed by breakfast on the outdoor terrace, then spending the day hanging out around the pool just enjoying being together.

Later in the day you could let the kids go crazy in the dance room, or set them up to watch a movie in the media room while you escape to the upstairs parents’ retreat. Kicking back by the fire pit on the balcony to watch the sun set is the perfect way to end a perfect day. 

Feeling relaxed already?
