No destination in Australia does holiday apartments better than the Gold Coast<\/a>. There are sooooo many to choose from! But with all those properties at your booking fingertips, how do you narrow it down to the very best option?<\/p>\n

Well, I can\u2019t confess to having tried them all, but I can vouch for the awesomeness of the Avani Broadbeach Gold Coast Residences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with 10 reasons why I loved the Residences and think you will too (plus five more bonus tips below!):<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s got that new property feel:<\/strong> I\u2019ve stayed in my fair share of dated GC apartments in my time (*ahem* Schoolies 2003, I\u2019m looking at you). Opening in late 2017, Avani still has that fresh new apartment vibe, reflected in everything from the modern design touches to the well-looked-after common areas. You\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re staying in a fancy apartment building you wish you called home.<\/p>\n

2. The apartments are SUPER spacious:<\/strong> So much so it took me an hour into our arrival (and a call to reception to request a hairdryer, #whoops) to realise we had a second bathroom. I know?!<\/p>\n

1905, our two-bedroom home-away-from-home for the weekend, features two sleek bedrooms with accompanying ensuites, the comfiest bed I\u2019ve slept in in AGES, a well-designed and equipped kitchen \u2013 complete with tucked-away laundry in the cupboard \u2013 and a generous living and dining area. I could definitely get used to this.<\/p>\n

3. The views are to die for:<\/strong> Water views are always worthy of their own point. Opening up the blinds and stepping out onto our balcony on our first morning to discover glorious beach views is enough to please even the grumpiest morning person. If the sound of the waves crashing doesn\u2019t relax you, nothing will.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. You\u2019re so close to the beach:<\/strong> Speaking of waves, the beach is an easy 300m stroll away. If you\u2019re a fitness fan, you\u2019ll blend right in among the waves of runners and cyclists. A soft sand run and an ocean dip starts the day off just right!<\/p>\n
