There’s something special about October on the Gold Coast. The mornings are warmer, the days are getting longer, and the hint of summer is coming. For anyone lucky enough to be here, it’s the perfect time to swap out the winter blues and dive into everything this part of Queensland has to offer.
At Gemini Court Holiday Apartments in Burleigh Heads, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy it all, the golden sands right outside your door and the lush green hinterland just a short drive away. I like to call it “ The Green behind the Gold.”
Why October is the Perfect Month on the Gold Coast
October is that sweet spot between winter and the summer holidays. The beaches are lively but not overcrowded, the surf is inviting, and the hinterland walks are cooler and shaded by rainforest canopies. It’s the kind of month where you can wake up to a sunrise over the Pacific Ocean, spend your morning in the sea, and then be standing under a waterfall by the afternoon.
For families, couples, or solo adventurers, it’s an ideal time to get out and explore. And with Gemini Court as your base, you’re never far from the action, whether that’s strolling along Burleigh’s foreshore or heading inland for a rainforest escape.
The Gold: Burleigh Beach at Your Doorstep
Let’s start with the obvious — The Gold.
Burleigh Heads Beach is one of the most iconic stretches of coastline in Australia, and for good reason. Its wide golden sands are perfect for morning walks, sandcastle building, or simply laying back with a good book. The surf breaks are world-famous, drawing both locals and pros, and the headland walk offers panoramic views that never get old.
Staying at Gemini Court means you can literally wake up, step outside, and be on the sand within minutes. No need for complicated travel plans — your holiday begins the moment you check in.
The Green: Waterfalls and Rainforest Adventures
Of course, the Gold Coast is more than just beaches. Drive 30 minutes inland and you’ll find yourself in an entirely different world. The Gold Coast Hinterland is home to ancient rainforests, cool mountain air, and breathtaking waterfalls.
October is an incredible time to explore spots like Springbrook National Park and Lamington National Park. Here you’ll find walking tracks that lead to hidden swimming holes, cascading falls, and lookouts that stretch as far as the ocean. Stand under the spray of Natural Bridge or take the scenic route to Purling Brook Falls, both are unforgettable experiences that feel a world away from the busy coastline.
This contrast, the beach and the rainforest, The Gold and the Green – is what makes the Gold Coast so unique. And the best part? You don’t have to choose. At Gemini Court Holiday Apartments, both are right at your fingertips.
The Best of Both Worlds
One of the highlights of staying in Burleigh Heads is how seamlessly you can enjoy both experiences. Imagine starting your day with a coffee overlooking the ocean, then heading inland for a hike among towering trees and waterfalls, before returning to your apartment balcony to watch the sunset over the Pacific.
It’s this balance that keeps people coming back to the Gold Coast year after year. And in October, with its mild weather and endless blue skies, you get the very best version of it.
