Who We Are — A Family-Run Motel in Burleigh
Burleigh Gold Coast Motel sits at 1908–1910 Gold Coast Highway, Miami — right between Burleigh Heads and Miami Beach. We’re a family-run motel, and the family have been here for over a decade. 36 rooms, 977 Google reviews at 4.7 stars, and named Best Budget-Friendly Accommodation in Burleigh Heads by Virgin Australia.
We’re not a chain. Nobody’s checking a franchise compliance manual when they clean your room. The people who run this place actually care how it runs — because it’s theirs.
Our Approach
We run a tight ship. Every room is cleaned properly between stays. The linen’s fresh, the ensuite’s clean, the air conditioning works, and the shower has good pressure. It sounds basic, but it’s not always the case elsewhere, and we reckon 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, and when you call (07) 5576 3211 a real person answers. Got a room request, a question about access, or want to know where the locals get breakfast? Just ask. We know Burleigh, and we’ll give you the real answer.
