We get it. The good news is that there are some great options. It is a myth that Schoolies has to be expensive, check out some of the best deals for Schoolies on a budget.
1. Just Give Me the Cheapest Option on the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast is the original and biggest Schoolies celebration. This is a party you don’t want to miss. So let’s get straight to the point, what is the cheapest option for Schoolies on the Gold Coast? It differs between weeks. For week 1 (QLD Schoolies), it’s Karana Palms. For week 2 (other states Schoolies) it’s Surfers Chalet Apartments. Both these properties are under 800m to Surfers Paradise beach (where all the Schoolies events are) and offer very comfortable stays for groups big or small. From only $415 per person for 7 nights, these properties are a steal for Schoolies week.

The rooms are very comfortable, and there is a huge pool and outdoor and BBQ area.
