Spring is in full swing, and the Gold Coast is tuning up to the sweet sounds of country music. If you’re one of our guests (or planning to be), there’s no better time to stay in one of our holiday homes than now — the Groundwater Country Music Festival is rolling into Broadbeach this weekend (17–19 October).
This three-day celebration of country music transforms the streets, parks, bars, and beachfront of Broadbeach into a live stage for both established acts and rising stars. Best part? Entry is free. goldcoast.vocohotels.com+3Taste of The Gold Coast+3ABC+3

🏡 Where to Stay & Why Our Homes Are Ideal
Because the festival is spread throughout Broadbeach — in parks, along streets, in bars and venues — staying nearby becomes a huge advantage. Many of our holiday homes are just a short walk or tram-ride away from the action.
Why staying with Elite Holiday Homes makes sense this weekend:
- Proximity: Avoid the hassle of long commutes or parking struggles.
- Comfort & Flexibility: After dancing the night away, retreat to a quiet, fully furnished place rather than a hotel.
- Group & Family Friendly: Many homes are ideal for groups, couples, or families wanting a mix of festival fun and relaxation.
- Local Tips at Hand: We can help with transport ideas, best sets to catch, and dining options during the festival.
