Who We Are — A Family-Run Motel Near Burleigh Heads
Burleigh Gold Coast Motel sits at 1908–1910 Gold Coast Highway, Miami — right between Burleigh Heads and Miami Beach on the Gold Coast, Queensland. We're a family-run motel: 36 rooms, 977 Google reviews at 4.7 stars, and named Best Budget-Friendly Accommodation in Burleigh Heads by Virgin Australia — an editorial pick, not a paid listing.
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 — fresh linen, a clean ensuite, working air conditioning, and good shower 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.
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 the area, and we'll give you the real answer.
