Family-run for over a decade. Clean rooms, honest prices, and none of the stuff that makes travel annoying.
No corporate ownership. No franchise playbook. No hidden fees. Just clean rooms, genuine service, and a great base for your Gold Coast stay.
Who We Are
Burleigh Gold Coast Motel is a family-run budget motel at 1908–1910 Gold Coast Highway, Miami — right between Burleigh Heads and Miami Beach. The family have been here for over a decade. 36 rooms. 977 Google reviews at 4.7 stars. Named Best Budget-Friendly Accommodation in Burleigh Heads by Virgin Australia.
We are not a chain. Nobody is checking a franchise compliance manual when they clean your room. The people who run this place actually care about how it runs — because it is theirs.
Our Approach
We run a tight ship. Every room is cleaned properly between stays. Linen is fresh. The ensuite is clean. The air conditioning works. The shower has good pressure. It sounds basic — but it is not always the case elsewhere, and we think it matters.
No upselling at check-in. No surprise charges on checkout. What you see on the website is what you get. See our Burleigh Heads accommodation done right guide.
The Team
Reception is open 9am to 7:30pm daily. Call us on (07) 5576 3211 and a real person answers. Got a room request, a question about accessibility, or want to know where locals eat breakfast? Just ask. We know Burleigh. We will give you the real answer.
