A Family-Run Motel That Actually Gets What Travellers Want
Let's be honest: most accommodation feels like it's designed by someone who's never actually travelled. Corporate cookie-cutter rooms, surprise fees, locations that require a car to get anywhere interesting. It gets old.
We're different. And not in a "look how quirky we are" marketing way – in a genuine, we've-been-doing-this-for-over-a-decade kind of way.

Location That Does the Heavy Lifting
We're nestled right between Burleigh Heads and Miami on the Gold Coast Highway. What does that actually mean for you?
You're 5 minutes from everything:
Burleigh Beach – A 5-minute walk (about 400 metres) to one of Australia's best beaches
Burleigh Head National Park – Scenic coastal walks right on your doorstep
James Street cafes – Around the corner from the Gold Coast's best breakfast spots
Miami Marketta – Friday and Saturday nights bring live music and incredible street food
Weekend markets – Burleigh Markets and Village Markets are walking distance
Public transport – Bus stop right out front with Gold Coast Airport shuttle, plus routes 777 and 700
You don't need a car for most things (though we've got free parking if you do). Everything that makes Burleigh special is literally right here.
What We're Actually About
No corporate ownership. No franchise playbook. Just a family-run operation that's been welcoming guests from across Australia and around the world for over 10 years.
Our approach is refreshingly simple:
Keep every room spotless and well-maintained
Treat guests like actual humans (radical concept, we know)
Share the insider tips – the cafes locals actually go to, the beaches without the crowds, the walks worth doing
Skip the upselling and pretence
Some guests come once. Many come back year after year. The reason? We make it easy. No stress, no drama, just a solid base for your Gold Coast adventure.

Your Room: Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
We're not trying to be a resort. We're giving you a great place to sleep and refresh between beach days and adventures. Sometimes that's all you need.
What's included:
Free Wi-Fi that actually works
Flat-screen Smart TV
Air conditioning (crucial for Gold Coast summers)
Tea, coffee, and kettle
Microwave and bar fridge
Ground-floor or poolside options
Free off-street parking (subject to availability)
Outdoor pool for cooling off after the beach
Clean, comfortable, and priced so you can actually afford to do things – hit up Rick Shores for dinner, grab coffee at Paddock Bakery, maybe even book that surf lesson.
The Burleigh Experience
Walk to the beach before breakfast. Stroll to dinner. Explore the national park. Hit the weekend markets. Catch a bus to Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach. You're in the heart of Burleigh, where everything actually happens.
Peak season tip: We're a 28-room motel in one of the Gold Coast's most popular spots. When summer hits or school holidays roll around, we fill up fast. Book ahead to secure your dates.
A Piece of History in the Making
You might notice tram construction work on the highway. That's the Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3 underway. While there may be some external construction noise, there's no disruption to your stay. This is an exciting transformation that will connect Burleigh to the entire Gold Coast via light rail by 2026. Staying with us means you're at the heart of this evolution.

Why People Keep Coming Back
We're not going to overcomplicate this:
Rooms are always clean (like, actually clean)
We're friendly without being overbearing
The price makes sense
The location is perfect – close to everything, but still quiet
Parking is free (when available)
It just works
Solo travellers, couples, families – everyone tells us the same thing: staying here is easy.
