Located at beautiful Budds Beach, a secret hideaway just 500m from the heart of Surfers Paradise. Far enough away from the loud music and rowdy travellers, close enough if you want to join in. Only 200m to public transport - buses, tram etc. You have your own self-contained 1 bedroom unit, you will love the space and everything about the unit. We look forward to having you stay. Head west 100m and you reach the secluded Budds beach, head 400m east to the ocean.
Set in a small block of 20 units, mostly residents. You have a pool and outdoor BBQ area available only to guests and residents.
New fresh designed kitchenette with microwave, hot plate, toaster and kettle. Please note there is no oven. Although there is a mass variety of restaurants and cuisine to select from just minutes walk from the door.
The unit has internal air conditioning as well as ceiling fans if you wish. And for those who prefer the fresh air, the south facing balcony will give you a nice cool change in the evening.
We provide tea, coffee and sugar. A bar fridge to house your cool drinks.
You will also find shampoo and soap in the bathroom as well as bath towels and beach towels. Also keep in mind it is an ensuite, so guest are required to go via the bedroom to the bathroom. Remember to confirm your number of guests to ensure the correct amount of towels and linen are provided. Sofa bed is available for a booking of more than two people only. If sofa bed is required for a booking of only two people there is an additional cleaning charge of $20.
To keep the cleaning costs to a minimum we ask that all guests clean their dishes, remove all rubbish and ensure no sand is trekked through the unit. So please remember to wash your feet before entering the unit, especially after visiting the beach. Additional cleaning fees may apply, depending on the state of the unit.
Please also note, this is a 3 storey walk up unit block and we are on the top floor. There is no lift.
You will have access to the underground car park for one car space. You will also have access to the eastern side entrance and rear entry door. The same rear entry door provides access to the in-ground pool (available to all residents) and outdoor BBQ area. Please note access to the pool and BBQ is between 7:30am-9pm.
We relocated from the hustle and bustle of Sydney over 10 years ago for the Gold Coast lifestyle. We are located just 5 minutes walk away from the unit and contactable during reasonable hours, morning, afternoon and evening.
A short 100m walk and you meet the canals of the Nerang River along side Budds Beach Reserve. A serene walk through the park you will find Bumbles, a very popular coffee shop mostly only familiar to the locals. A great place to chill for a latte and cake. A little further on and you will reach the stand up paddle boarding rental hire.
Heading in the other direction, a nice 400m stroll will bring you down to the ocean side beach. Patrolled by professional life guards and safe swimming areas located every few hundred metres or so.
A quick change of direction from the beach (about 100m) and you find yourself in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Surrounded by tourist attractions, shops, restaurants, bars and much, much more. And when the sun goes down, the night life begins.
If you're up for more of a walk you can venture onto Chevron Island. 5-7minutes through the middle of the island and you come across more shops, bars and restaurants. And if you're a fan of fresh fish and chips, Chevron Seafood is the place to go.
If the HOTA (Home Of The Arts) is your flavour, it's another 20minute walk over bridge via Chevron Island.
If shopping is what you really want there are plenty of options. Pacific Fair, one of the biggest shopping centres in the southern hemisphere is only a few tram stops south. A slightly smaller option is Australia Fair which is a few tram stops north. Although if you're really keen for a journey, you may catch a tram and a bus and travel out to Harbour Town.
Then of course you have all the fun parks. It's recommended you do your research first though. Some of the parks have partnerships and you may purchase combinations of tickets with discounts.
The closest in distance being Sea World, just a short 15 minute bus trip. Sea World partners with Wet and Wild, Movie World and Outback Australia. Where Dreamworld and White Water World unite. These other parks are a bit further away and may require buses, trams and or train rides. You also have the option of hiring a car, or one of the ride share companies.
There is so much more on the Gold Coast for you to do and we will be more than happy to help you find whatever it is you're looking for.
