Accommodation in Broadbeach from AU$133

• Peppers Broadbeach: There’s nothing like waking up to ocean views after you’ve rested comfortably thanks to a decadent pillow menu. This all-suite hotel has two sparkling outdoor pools and a great location, too. You’ll be just steps from the Kurrawa Surf Club and the beach.
• Broadbeach hotels near the water don’t have to break the bank. At the 3.5-star Pacific Resort Broadbeach, you can wake up, take a quick stroll through Kurrawa Park, and be on the beach in minutes. In-room laundry is perfect for sandy swimmers, and kitchenettes help you save on food costs.

Apartments provide the ultimate comfort for families, with in-room kitchens and laundry facilities making it easy to get your group ready to go. Try these:

• Mantra Broadbeach on the Park: With up to three-bedroom apartments, you’ll have plenty of space to spread out. There’s also free self-parking, an airport shuttle, and the option to splurge on in-room childcare to have a parents’ night out.
• Broadbeach Holiday Apartments: This 4-star apart-hotel has six restaurants, three coffee shops, and three pools, including a kids’ pool. Hit the convenience store for extra supplies and wash dirty clothes at the on-site laundry.

Think of it this way: Surfers Paradise is a partying uni student, and Broadbeach is its sophisticated older cousin. If you’re looking for nightlife, surf shops, and endless tourist attractions, Surfers is your spot. Make friends on the beach by day, then hit the night market when the sun sets. Broadie has a more relaxed pace. You’ll spend your days sipping lattes at beachfront cafes and shopping for luxury clothes at Pacific Fair. You’ll have plenty of space to spread out on the beach and waterfront parks for evening strolls. Which one is right for you?
