Hey guys

Looking at heading over to the goldy with the lady for a week
Any tips on where to stay that is close to the surf and still close to other bits and pieces? Would be good if I didn't have to hire a car or get cabs to the waves?

Cheers in advance

Stay anywhere on or near gold coast highway and you'll be able to get a bus north or south to the majority of the spots. I wouldn't stay in surfers. Maybe palm beach/ burleigh / cooly?

Q Hotel. Get an ocean front room up the top and you have views to die for and waves out front. nice funky hotel. The chick will love it

Stay in Cooly
Quick walk to D'bah/ Snapper
Short taxi trip to/from the airport
Plenty of places to eat/shop
Easy as

The Mantra is great value. We got a deal 5 nights at $125 per night a few years back, looks like they have a deal at $156 per night atm. Room we had contained everything, separate bedroom & bathroom with a washing machine. Think it was about the 4th floor, we could see Kirra to the left & across Coolangatta to Green Mount. Snapper & D'bah was an easy walk. I just surfed between double head Kirra & GM when I stayed there for 5 days. Had the GM stretch to myself for 3 days, no barrels but super long rides. Had some fun ones at KIrra, but then kooked out & provided some comedy for the people on the groyne trying to surf a small wave in between 2 boulders to walk back up the beach. But the wave wanted to introduce me to them & took my right fin. Game over till I got it repaired in Caloundra 2 days later.

But yeah, great place you'll have a good time. Plenty of waves if your not part of the flock
