Gold Coast Airport Motel - Only 300 Meters To Airport Terminal is located directly opposite Coolangatta Gold Coast Airport, within 350 metres of the terminals. It is also 80 metres from stunning North Kirra Beach. It offers free WiFi.

For an airport motel it is very non-descript on the outside but the rooms are really comfortable warm and cute. The manager even ensures that the lights are on if if he knows your approximate arrival time. My room had a small couch and table. Fridge had milk and there were tea and coffee packets provided. There was also a nice power strip with outfits and USB charge port.

Boasting an outdoor swimming pool, Runaway Bay Motor Inn is just 5 minutes’ drive from The Broadwater Esplanade. Set in tropical gardens, it offers self-contained accommodation with a 32-inch LCD TV. Free parking is available on site.

Loved how close it was to everything we needed but not too far from the main city. Staff were very accomodating especially during the worst storm we have ever encountered, although we suffered a two day power cut, it was still awesome. Very family friendly - 4 adults, 6 children.

    We've stayed at this motel previously and came back as we liked it last time. Everything is really well cleaned and maintained. The rooms and beds are comfortable and surprisingly quiet. We didn't actually speak to any staff this time around as we checked in late and out early, but they made sure we had keys and instructions to access them easily. The free parking on site is a major plus.

    Brilliant Location! Short walk to Pacific Fair Shopping Centre & Casino,, so we decided to walk instead of drive and park. Found the room clean and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was spacious and very clean. This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and find it good value. Stayed for 2 nights and always had a free parking spot at Motel. The Receptionist, who also does Housekeeping, was very friendly and welcoming.

    Cosy 1 bedroom unit which was extremely clean and tidy. Had the little extras which made it nicer than a hotel/motel unit. So central to shopping, entertainment and cafe / restaurants. Good free wifi and very comfortable bed. View over pool area. Free parking. Very nice and helpful host.
