As winter sets in across southern Australia, many travellers head north in search of sunshine, connection, and a relaxed pace of life. At Broadwater Tourist Park, located right on the sparkling Broadwater in Southport, winter isn’t a season to endure — it’s one to enjoy.
Our park transforms into a vibrant, welcoming haven for grey nomads and winter wanderers, with a full line-up of weekly and monthly activities that help you stay social, active, and above all, warm.
Here’s why Broadwater Tourist Park is the ultimate winter destination for travellers escaping the chill.
☀️ Perfect Weather for a Laid-back Lifestyle
While the southern states battle icy winds and grey skies, the Gold Coast enjoys some of its best weather of the year. Winter here means clear blue skies, mild temperatures averaging 21–24°C, and just the right climate for everything from morning walks along the foreshore to lazy afternoons by the heated pools.
🍽️ Alternating Weekly Treats: Pancakes or Sausage Sizzles
One of the favourite traditions at Broadwater Tourist Park is our alternating weekly food events, giving you the perfect excuse to start the day with good food or keep the day going with great company.
-
One week: We flip hot, fluffy pancakes for our guests with Ice-cream and great toppings, free of charge! Bring your coffee and join fellow travellers for a relaxed breakfast under the sun.
-
The next: Fire up your appetite for a classic Aussie sausage sizzle, served fresh off the BBQ with onions and sauces.
These events are not just about the food, they’re a chance to hang out with management, mingle, share stories, and connect with your fellow nomads.


🧁 Fundraising Events with Heart
At Broadwater, we believe in giving back, and having fun while doing it. Each winter, we host a variety of fundraisers and community events that support great causes:
-
Biggest Morning Tea – Join us for a delicious morning tea to help raise funds for the Cancer Council, a meaningful event that brings the whole park together for a cause close to many hearts.
Fundraising Happy Hours - Once a month we will have a happy hour with spin the wheel raffles, donating to a variety of causes!

🧶 Weekly Bingo & Craft Mornings
For those who love a little friendly competition or enjoy getting creative, our regular activities are just the ticket:
-
Broadwater Bingo – Held weekly, our light-hearted bingo sessions come with a sweet twist, chocolates as prizes! It’s a fun way to connect, laugh, and maybe score a treat.
-
Craft Circles – Bring your knitting, crochet, painting, or any creative project and join others in a relaxing craft session. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned crafter, everyone is welcome.
🌊 More Than Just Activities: A Real Sense of Belonging
Beyond the events and the idyllic location, it’s the people who make winter at Broadwater so special. Many guests return year after year, creating a familiar, friendly atmosphere where newcomers are always welcomed with a smile.
You’ll find plenty of opportunities to make new friends, share happy hours, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting of our waterfront park, all while staying warm and relaxed through the cooler months.
🗓️ Plan Your Stay — Winter is Our Peak Season!
Our winter months are incredibly popular, and sites often book out early. If you’re planning a seasonal escape to the Gold Coast or passing through on your way further north we recommend reserving your spot at Broadwater Tourist Park as soon as possible.
Whether you’re chasing the sun, seeking new friendships, or just want to enjoy winter without the woollies, Broadwater offers everything you need for a memorable and comfortable stay.
Ready to warm up this winter?
Book your stay today and become part of the Broadwater tradition.
We can’t wait to welcome you to our sunny slice of paradise!
