Questions51
How do I find a Gold Coast restaurant serving lobster?
Check current menus for lobster and phone the restaurant before booking. It may be a special or market-price item rather than a standing dish.
Is a van practical for a Gold Coast trip with two young children?
Price accommodation or holiday-park parking as well as fuel and rental. If the children mainly want beach and theme-park days, a fixed base may be easier than moving the whole family each night.
What should I look for in a Gold Coast base for a solo break?
Compare the immediate blocks around each hotel, not just the suburb name. Map the walk to dinner, a tram stop and the shops you want; the route you will actually take in the evening matters more than a general claim that one whole area is quiet or safe.
