When the wintry bite of Tasmania, Victoria or even New South Wales proves too sharp, the unequivocal path is already lain: head to the Sunshine State.
Balmy and blithe, the Gold Coast on Queensland's southern border transcends seasonal boundaries as a getaway destination, and boasts a trove of surf spots, elaborate waterways and surrounding rainforests.
From high rise accommodation in Surfers Paradise to farm stays in the Currumbin Valley, we've curated an edit of some of the best Airbnbs in the Gold Coast region for the sun-bound traveller.
