Family Fun on the Gold Coast – What to Do This June School Holidays

School’s out and the sun is still shining! The June school holidays are a great time for a Gold Coast family getaway. With cooler weather and a wide variety of kid-friendly activities, it’s the ideal winter escape for parents and children alike.

️ 1. Beach Days Made Easy

Cooler weather means no scorching sand or sunburn stress. Build sandcastles, take a beach walk, or explore the rock pools at Burleigh or Currumbin — perfect for young explorers.

2. Wildlife Encounters

Get up close with Australian animals at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, or take a short trip inland to Mountview Alpaca Farm for hands-on fun. Feeding kangaroos never gets old (even for adults).

3. Rainy Day Activities

If the weather turns, there’s still plenty to do:

  • Ripley’s Believe It or Not

  • Timezone Surfers Paradise

  • Gold Coast Aqua Park

  • Infinity Attraction

Bonus: many of these are within walking distance of your GCLR apartment.

️ 4. Kid-Approved Eats

Dine out stress-free at:

  • Elk Espresso (great kids menu & parents’ coffee)

  • Betty’s Burgers in Surfers for casual family bites

  • SkyPoint Bistro — grab lunch with a view from Q1!

5. Family-Friendly Apartments

Stay in comfort and style with our spacious 2- and 3-bedroom apartments. Full kitchens, separate living areas, and easy access to beaches, pools, and parks = holiday made easy.

Make the most of these school holidays with a luxury family getaway. With space to relax and adventures on your doorstep, GCLR is your base for memory-making this June
