Gold Coast New Years Eve Accommodation


Always popular for revellers, it is Australia’s own party town - the Gold Coast turns it on for New Years Eve with a raft of private events at local bars, clubs and party cruises and of course impressive fireworks displays.


For families there is an earlier session of fireworks at Surfers Paradise beach around 9pm with another display at midnight fired from the top of the Gold Coasts tallest building the Q1 Tower and along the Surfers Paradise foreshore.

There are other fireworks displays throughout the Gold Coast with public, family-friendly fireworks and entertainment at major suburbs right along the coast. The major focal point for the event is at Surfers Paradise where if you are lucky enough you may secure a fantastic vantage point from your hotel or apartment! It is suggested that you get to the foreshore early to grab a good spot to see the fireworks. Many local families escape the hustle and bustle and drive to higher ground to watch the displays from afar!
