Demand peaks over the summer school holidays from December to January, when families come for the Broadwater and the beaches to the south. Easter and the winter months bring visitors escaping the cold in the southern states, and shopping trips and weekend breaks keep the calendar steady through the rest of the year. Figures will vary with size, finish and exact location. See how the suburb compares in our Gold Coast Airbnb earnings guide.
