Situated opposite Gold Coast Airport, this refurbished boutique motel offers free Wi-Fi, 24-hour check-in and a free airport shuttle. The beautiful Bilinga Beach is only 100 metres away.

Southern Cross University is 1 km from the property, while John Flynn Hospital is 3.5 km away. Kirra Beach and Coolangatta Beach are both 10 minutes’ walk from La Costa Beachside Motel Bilinga. It is 20 km to Surfers Paradise and 40 km to the Wet ‘n’ Wild Water World and Dreamworld theme parks.

A quirky place - basically a comfortable beach chalet between the airport and the beach. The owners had provided breakfast in the room which was ideal. I enjoyed an early evening walk along the beach and then a comfortable quiet night. The owners gave me a lift to the airport in the morning - thank you.

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.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    WE enjoyed its proximity to the airport. We have stayed at the motel before when we have an early flight. It is an easy walk to the airport in the morning without relying on other forms of transportation. It is also an easy walk to the North Kira SLSC which is convenient for dinner and the food is lovely.

    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.
