Gold Coast Hinterland Accommodation

Located 50 minutes drive from the coastal strip, the Gold Coast Hinterland contains an amazing 29 national parks and nature reserves including World Heritage-listed national parks. It is also home to Australia's largest area of subtropical rainforest, the world's biggest volcanic caldera (of which Mt Warning is the "core") and 300kms of walking trails.

With lush rainforest, rustic cafes, spectacular views, picturesque wineries and wonderful walks, the Hinterland is the Gold Coast's best-kept secret. While nearby Surfers Paradise and Byron Bay are often swamped by tourists the Gold Coast Hinterland retains an endearing community spirit. An electric group of local artists exhibit their works, cosy restaurants and cafes hug the sidewalk and atmosphere abounds.
