My stay at La Costa couldn’t have been any better! I was so generously met at the airport before being delivered to a little piece of retro paradise on the Gold Coast. The room was fitted out beautifully with lots of thoughtful touches and the free bike rental was an absolute highlight! Fabulous location, incredible accommodation and the most delightful team. Thank you 🙏

Thankyou 480paulac, it was a pleasure to host you and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the free bike rental is a must to discover our piece of paradise on the southern Gold Coast. Look forward to seeing you again, Diane

A 20 hour visit left me feeling renewed, relaxed and keen to return. Cycled, swam, walked, ate and slept well. The beach is riiight there, sparkling and so clean! Fish galore. The room was airy, clean and fresh. Everything needed was supplied to a very high standard. Manager Di is a good communicator: really relaxed and clear. The wifi worked. I feel like I've travelled back to the Gold Coast of the sunny 60s. The brochures hardly do it justice. All that was missing was a Holden FJ!

Wow what a fabulous little hotel! We loved our stay here, especially the free retro bikes to ride along the coast walkway. The way this hotel has been so classically restored is great, the colours, the history retained in the pictures. Also a complimentary breakfast & Exceptional customer service

Such a cute little motel, completely refurbished, clean, comfortable and retains a retro beach vibe. Reasonable sized room with kitchenette and outside sitting area. Fully stocked mini bar with reasonable prices. A light continental breakfast is included. Big walk-in shower in the bathroom. There is some road and airport noise. So close to the beach and a nice walk along the promenade to food options. Di and John are friendly hosts. Would definitely recommend this place.

Wonderful people and service. We had a small economy room which was perfect for us. It was facing the road but we didn’t have any issues with noise and we’re both light sleeper’s. It’s fairly central to everything and the shower has so much water pressure it was AMAZING.

In a location that is 10 paces to the beach, this is a great little motel with character! Rooms are well appointed, with a good mini bar selection and really comfortable bedding. Staff are amazingly warm, welcoming and helpful and the free bikes are great to ride on the beach-side, well lit bike path to dinner.

My wife and I booked this motel because we had an early flight at Gold Coast Airport. When we checked in, we were presented with a breakfast basket full of goodies. The motel room was good except that the wash basin (sink) was too small, so inevitably some water splashed out. The other disadvantage was that the office closed after 5 pm. However if you inform the motel in advance that you will be checking in after 5 pm, you will be given a number to get your room key from the key box.
