A lovely quiet spot just a couple hundred meters off the beach, far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Surfers. The tram doesn’t go all the way, as it ends at Pacific Fair, so prepare to Uber!

Amazing little gem, right on the Gold Coast highway. Don't let the outside fool you, beyond the gate a freshly renovated modern beach side accommodation. Rooms surround a fresh inviting pool area. The beach a few blocks down the street completes the stay. The staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. Absolutely stay again given the need.
