Head to the Gold Coast for some festival flavour

The time is fast approaching for two of the most vibrant festivals on the Gold Coast and Mantra Group is inviting everyone to enjoy the celebrations with fantastic accommodation deals to make your stay stress free.

Firstly there's the highly regarded and hotly anticipated Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival from May 26-29. Now in its tenth year of entertaining hundreds of thousands of music lovers, the free event nurtures Australian blues talent as well as provides a stage for international acts. The line-up this year includes Phil Emmanuel, the Kevin Borich Express, Bondi Cigars and Jon Stevens.

Then for the second year running, the city will showcase its vibrant culture with the four-week Surfers Paradise Festival, to be held throughout June and July. The precinct of Surfers Paradise itself will be used as a staging ground for a wide range of local artists, community groups and some of the city's and country's finest emerging young bands.

By far the best way to soak up the atmosphere is to stay where the action is along the picturesque coastline from Surfers Paradise to Broadbeach.

Choose between a variety of resort accommodation for every budget all within walking distance to the beach and truly make the most of the city's divine natural coastline, sensational shopping and dining precincts, along with easy access to all the highlights of the festivals.
