Hi

This is my first time writing. My family and I are coming to the Gold Coast area (not sure where abouts yet) early november. Have resident visa, I have lots to ask people so I hope you can help me out there.

1, Finding somewhere to rent furnished on internet a nightmare!!!!
2, Colleges for daughter (wants to be physio)
3, Work for a tiler

That will do for now much appreciated if anyone can help.

I can only answer 1 small part of your question - Furnished places are rare, unless for short term holiday let which makes them expensive. I'm doing it for 3-4 weeks in Sydney for when I arrive in Jan. Websites to look at are www.realestate.com.au
www.stays.com.au

Good luck!

how long are you looking to rent for? otherwise rent somewhere unfurnished and accross the road from the gold coast airport (coolangatta) is a place that rents out furniture of all kinds, inc beds sofas etc...if you are only renting for less than 6 months you are better off with a holiday rental, i wish we did that but didnt know as permanant ressies we could get a mortgage straight away!! we live on goldie foe 1.5 years and any info needed please dont hesitate to pm me xxx

How old is your daughter? If she is school age (up to 17/18) she will need to complete her High School Certificate (HSC) to get into University (only place physio courses are offered). Physio is a very competitive course so she would need pretty good grades.

Good luck

Hi The-Slates,
We remember how difficult it is to find short term rental, we struggled 2 years ago and paid a fortune for the pleasure, thats why when we arrived we decided to help other people out who is arriving and offer a service with full support and short term rental. We are located 45 minutes from the Gold Coast and 20 minutes to CBD with train line to both areas 5 minutes away. We have a self contained studio with own garden and use of a pool, it is ideal for touring around and use as a base. If struggling, please dont hesitate to contact us we will help you with all we can, good luck
