Turtle Beach Resort
Turtle Beach Resort in Gold Coast should be considered one of the great QLD family friendly holiday destinations! Definitely recommend the wood-fired pizza! And from another Mum it was fabulous both for my 4 year old and 15 year old. Next to the woodfired pizza was a complimentary movie theatre so the kids could watch a movie while you had dinner or a few drinks! It was fabulous! (only one thing – check to see which floor you are on – we were on the 2nd floor which was fine for us – but not if you have a baby!)

The retreat beach houses, peregian beach is great for a family holiday. Self contained beach houses, no roads to cross to the beach, awesome restaurants at the village and a lagoon style pool great for toddlers They also have beach toys, games and movies to borrow which makes it all a bit easier. Not as cheap as some of the stuff on the Goldie but when you factor in space and the ability to cook all your own meals its a dead winner for us.
