Looking forward to getting away for a holiday at the beach this summer but still drawn to the attractions of the city? Three New South Wales beachfront hotels have joined forces to give you the best of both worlds.

Thanks to the City 2 Surf deal, you can now head to the city for a beach holiday this summer and stay with Holiday Inn Newcastle, Manly Pacific Parkroyal or Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach from as little as $169 per room per night � the perfect way to experience two vacations in one.

You can choose to stay on Newcastle Beach with Holiday Inn Esplanade Newcastle for a rate of $169 per room per night to experience ocean views from every room and boutique style accommodation on one of Australia�s best swimming and surfing beaches, and still be moments away from the city of Newcastle and within a short drive of The Hunter region.

If a trendy Sydney seaside village is more your speed, stay with Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach for $179 per room per night and experience the truly relaxed atmosphere and cosmopolitan environment of Coogee. Opposite a stunning stretch of sandy beach, you can also go rollerblading in Centennial Park, party in Bondi or take a fifteen minute drive into the city attractions.

Or you could set yourself up at Manly Pacific Parkroyal for $189 per room per night. Situated on one of Australia�s most famous beaches, this hotel features a balcony off every room as well as a rooftop pool and spa, and is only a Jetcat ride away from the centre of Sydney.

Regardless of where you choose to stay, your kids get to eat and stay free and parking is also free as part of any one of these fabulous summer break options.

This great City 2 Surf deal is valid from December, 2001 to January, 2002 and is subject to availability, so call 1300 363 300 right now to check out the fun of a beach holiday in the city.
