There’s something special about getting everyone together for a holiday. Whether it’s the extended family, a few families travelling together, or a long-overdue getaway with friends, some of the best memories happen when everyone is under the one roof.
Of course, anyone who has travelled with a big group also knows that a little space can go a very long way!
That’s where a holiday home really comes into its own.
One Holiday, One Home
Instead of everyone disappearing into separate hotel rooms at the end of the day, a large holiday home gives you the best of both worlds — plenty of shared spaces to enjoy together and enough room for everyone to have some downtime when they need it.
Morning coffees around the kitchen bench, afternoons by the pool, drinks outside as the sun goes down and relaxed dinners that stretch well into the evening are often the moments people remember most.
And there’s no need to organise where everyone is meeting for breakfast!
Space Makes Group Holidays Easier
When you’re travelling with a crowd, having multiple living areas can make all the difference.
The kids can be watching a movie while the adults enjoy a drink outside. Someone can sneak away for an afternoon nap while everyone else is in the pool. Early risers can make a coffee without waking the entire group.
Many of our Elite Holiday Homes feature generous indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, swimming pools, games rooms, cinema-style spaces and waterfront areas, giving everyone somewhere to enjoy themselves.
Stay In or Head Out
One of the great things about staying in Broadbeach Waters and Surfers Paradise is having so much of the Gold Coast close by.
Spend the day at the beach, shop at Pacific Fair, head out for lunch in Broadbeach, visit one of the theme parks or explore everything else the Coast has to offer.
Then, when you’ve had enough for the day, you can come back to your own space, kick off your shoes and relax.
And some days, you might decide not to go anywhere at all.
A morning swim, a long lunch, a few games with the family and an afternoon beside the pool can be a pretty good Gold Coast day too.
Make It Even Easier
A group getaway should feel like a holiday for everyone — including the person who normally ends up organising everything.
Our guests also have access to My Holiday Concierge, with services including airport transfers, grocery collection and put-away, charcuterie, private chefs, massages and beauty treatments, yoga, baby equipment hire and more.
Imagine arriving at your holiday home with the groceries already unpacked and the drinks chilling in the fridge. That’s a much nicer way to start a holiday.
More Time Together
Ultimately, the biggest advantage of a group holiday home isn’t the number of bedrooms, the pool or even the location.
It’s the time you get together.
It’s breakfast in your pyjamas, the kids jumping in the pool for the hundredth time, someone taking charge of the barbecue, competitive games that get far too serious, and conversations that continue long after dinner is finished.
Those are the moments that make a group holiday memorable.
