Check Availability   |   View Rooms We are not going to oversell it. We are a 36-room budget motel on the Gold Coast Highway in Miami — right between Burleigh Heads and Miami Beach. We have been here for over a decade. 950+ Google reviews. 4.7 stars. People come back because we do the basics well.


Here is what actually makes the difference.

The Location


Everything starts with where we are. Miami sits right between Burleigh Heads and Miami Beach — two of the best spots on the southern Gold Coast. From our front door:

  • Miami Beach — 400m / 5-min walk. Quiet, uncrowded, great sunsets

  • Burleigh Beach — 820m / 10-min walk. Patrolled, iconic headland, reliable surf

  • Paddock Bakery — 150m away, open from 6am

  • Miami Marketta — short walk. Street food and live music every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night

  • James Street cafes, restaurants, and bars — all walking distance

  • Bus stop at Miami One — Routes 700, 765, and 777. All fares 50 cents with a Go Card


You do not need a car to get around. See our guide to getting around Burleigh without a car and our full things to see and do guide.

Clean Rooms — Every Time

This is what guests mention most. Every room is cleaned properly between stays. Linen and towels are fresh. The ensuite is clean. The air conditioning works. The shower has good pressure. It sounds basic — but it is not always the case elsewhere.


We have been doing this for over a decade. Clean rooms are not a bonus. They are the standard. Read our Burleigh Heads accommodation done right guide.


Honest Pricing — No Hidden Costs


From $145/night. No resort fees. No Wi-Fi charges. No parking fees. Free parking, free pool, free Wi-Fi — all included. The only extra is a $200 security deposit on arrival by credit card, refunded within 7 days subject to inspection.


Book direct through our website and skip the platform markup too. Same room, no booking fees, flexible cancellation. See our affordable Gold Coast accommodation guide.


Free Parking


Free parking for all guests, subject to availability. One permit per room. No $25 overnight fees. No booking required. Tradies, families with gear, guests with early flights — this matters more than people realise until they are paying $40 a night somewhere else.



We Answer the Phone


Call us on (07) 5576 3211 and a real person answers. Reception is open 9:00am to 7:30pm daily. Arriving after hours? Call ahead and we will arrange late check-in. Got a room request, a question about accessibility, or want to know where locals eat breakfast? Just ask.


Marina and Sally have been running this place for over a decade. They are locals. They know Burleigh. They will give you the real tips — not the tourist brochure version.

The bus stop is a short walk at Miami One. Three routes cover the whole Coast.

  • Route 777 — direct to Gold Coast Airport in 25 minutes, 50 cents with a Go Card

  • Route 700 — runs the full length of the Coast. Surfers Paradise in 25 minutes

  • Route 765 — to Robina train station for Airtrain connections to Brisbane
