Family-run for over a decade. 36 rooms between Burleigh Heads and Miami. Clean, honest, no surprises.
Most accommodation feels like it was designed by someone who has never actually travelled. Corporate rooms, surprise fees, locations that need a car to get anywhere interesting. We do it differently.
We have been welcoming guests at Burleigh Gold Coast Motel for over a decade. Some come once. Many come back year after year. The reason is simple — we do the basics well, we keep prices honest, and we are in one of the best spots on the Gold Coast.
The Location Does the Heavy Lifting
We are at 1908–1910 Gold Coast Highway, Miami — right between Burleigh Heads and Miami Beach. This is not a compromise location. It is the location. Everything that makes Burleigh special is either on your doorstep or a short walk away.
Miami Beach — 400m / 5-min walk. Quiet, uncrowded, great sunsets
Burleigh Beach — 820m / 10-min walk. Patrolled, iconic headland, reliable surf
Burleigh Head National Park — coastal rainforest walk, ocean views, free entry
Paddock Bakery — 150m away, open from 6am. The best breakfast in Burleigh
Miami Marketta — Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Street food and live music
James Street cafes, restaurants, and bars — all walking distance
Aldi — directly across the road. Coles at Miami One just down the road
Bus stop at our front door — Routes 777, 700, and 765. All fares 50 cents with a Go Card
You do not need a car for most things. See our guide to getting around Burleigh without a car and our full things to see and do guide.
What We Are Actually About
No corporate ownership. No franchise playbook. Marina and Sally have been running this place for over a decade. They are locals who genuinely love Burleigh — the beach, the headland, the Sunday markets, the food scene on James Street.
Our approach is simple:
Keep every room spotless and well-maintained
Treat guests like actual humans
Answer the phone — (07) 5576 3211, 9am to 7:30pm daily

No upselling, no pretence, no hidden costs
