Location — right in the middle of everything

We are at 1908–1910 Gold Coast Highway, Miami — at the corner of Christine Avenue, on the Burleigh Heads border. Burleigh Beach is a 2-min walk. Miami Beach is a 5-min walk in the other direction.

Burleigh Beach — 200m / 2-min walk — patrolled, family-friendly, iconic
Miami Beach — 400m / 5-min walk — quieter, great sunsets
Paddock Bakery — 150m away, open from early
Caffeine Kings — 100m from the front door
Aldi — directly across the road
Coles Miami One — short walk
Surfers Paradise — 20-min drive north
Gold Coast Airport — 22-min drive

Grab bread, milk, and fruit from Aldi and you have sorted breakfast for a few dollars. The microwave, bar fridge, and kettle in every room make it easy to keep food costs down. When you have a day off, there is plenty to do in Burleigh for free.
