Light rail works nearby — Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3

Crews are still finishing the tram corridor along the Gold Coast Highway between Miami and Burleigh Heads. Works run overnight from Sunday evening to Friday morning, so expect occasional noise and machinery movements after dark. Ask for a double-glazed, road-facing room if you’re a light sleeper — we can usually arrange one. The Christine Avenue stop on our corner (tram plus connecting buses) is due to open mid-2026; until then, buses use the temporary stop at Miami One, about 300m away. Project updates: gclr3.com.au.

Our Rooms

A Room Built For However You Travel

Solo trip, weekend away, or a full family caravan — there’s a configuration here that fits. Every room ships with a queen bed, private ensuite, reverse-cycle air conditioning, a widescreen TV with local channels, free Wi-Fi, a microwave and bar fridge, and a kettle stocked with tea and coffee. Guests mention the water pressure in our showers more than almost anything else — it’s better than it has any right to be for the price.

Getting Around

Christine Avenue Transport Hub — Landing On Our Corner

The new tram-and-bus interchange for Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3 is being built right at our corner and is due mid-2026. Once it opens, the airport bus, the coastal route, and the connection to Brisbane all stop steps from reception. Until then, the temporary stop at Miami One (~300m away) covers the same three routes for 50 cents a trip with a Go Card.

Route 777 — Airport

Direct to Gold Coast Airport in about 25 minutes.

Route 700 — Coast Run

The full length of the highway, Coolangatta to Surfers Paradise and beyond.

Route 765 — Robina

Connects to the Airtrain for Brisbane Airport via Robina station.

Recently Refreshed

Clean, Simple, Consistent — Every Stay

We’ve worked through the whole property over the last couple of years: new interiors and furnishings, better sound insulation, and double-glazed windows in the rooms that face the highway. None of it flashy — all of it aimed at a reliably clean, quiet room.

Parking is free (one permit per room, subject to availability), with extra street parking on Christine Avenue. The pool is maintained year-round and never costs a guest a cent.

We’re not a resort and we’re not chasing a fifth star. That’s deliberate — it’s exactly why most of our guests come back.

Beyond The Motel

Burleigh — The Coast Without The Costume

Sunrise swims, a Sunday beach market, and a sunset beer at the surf club — Burleigh runs at a slower, more local pace than the high-rises further north. Every July the Surface Festival paints Miami and Burleigh into an open-air gallery, and our own facade carries one of the murals.
