Australians consider their beach vacations to be some of the best in the world, and there is no wonder why. Australia is home to 10,685 beaches, according to researchers at the University of Sydney. In fact, the coastline extends for 16,000 miles, providing both locals and tourists with many a beach front opportunity Amazing marine life, lush green landscapes and powder-white sands can be seen at top tourist destinations, like Noosa, Byron Bay and Fraser Island. If the sound of a break beside the seaside is appealing to you, take the time to hunt for private accommodation with a view.
The Location
Do you want a full service destination where everything is at your fingertips, or would you prefer to explore the surrounding area? Knowing the answer to this question will help you to decide on a location. It’s always good to stay in a central location, but not too centred that it prevents you from getting a good night’s sleep. It’s advisable to plan out your trip in advance, because if you will be doing a lot of activities, renting a place near them will be a convenient option.
The View
The majority of resorts will welcome special requests, so if you would rather a sea view over a pool view, your request will be taken into consideration. Don’t want to wait and wonder if you will get the view you are hoping for? Hunt around for accommodation where the view is guaranteed. Chances are you will pay more for an apartment with a view, but when you think about those laid back evenings tucking into homemade food whilst watching the sunset on your balcony, the price will be more than worth it. Remember that accommodation with world-class views will be fully booked relatively quickly (especially during summer), so make a reservation a few months before the trip is set to commence.
The Amenities
Finally, it is time to start looking at what amenities are offered. The best way to assess what’s included in the price is to schedule a tour of the holiday home. Free parking will be provided at most resorts, so you won’t have to worry about paying daily rates if you rent a car or drive yours to the coastal destination. Other amenities worth enquiring about include a pool, jacuzzi, air conditioning, breakfast, golf and health spa facilities. Planning on taking a furry friend to the holiday home? Discuss the pet policy before booking.
