Beachside Gold Coast Location
Located in Rainbow Bay, Coolangatta, 100 meters from the beach. The property is a 6-minute walk from Snapper Rocks, known for hosting the Gold Coast Pro surfing competition. Within walking distance to Greenmount Beach, Froggies Beach, Duranbah Beach, Coolangatta shops, restaurants, and Twin Towns club.

Check-in outside normal office hours (8:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Saturday) requires 48-hour advance notice.
“What stands out here is the authentic beachfront experience, placing you steps away from celebrated surfing spots and relaxed swimming areas. The spacious, self-contained apartments give the feeling of a true 'home away from home', and the inclusion of a heated pool, spa, and tennis court is a considerable advantage. I think this could be an excellent choice for families or couples drawn to the Gold Coast's blend of leisure and culture.”
