    finding accomodation = HARD

    as many of u know dh is deployed and he has his return dates right on new yrs day. we want to go away to the gold coast for 7 days from the 3rd till 9th and everywhere i call is booked out they keep saying if im flexible with my dates...um no im not flexible we have 11 days together and this is only when we can travel...

    we need somewhere that will sleep 2 adults and 5 kids we want to stay in surfers or not too far from there as we want to go to theme park etc.....

    Look for a home stay or holiday rental. You can find holiday rentals through real estate agents online. Goodluck

    I highly recommend contacting the appropriate tourist info - give them your criteria and they'll do the searching for you. I book all my accommodation this way and saves hours trawling the net. Good luck!
