Splurge on your stay and I promise you won’t regret it. The views alone will be worth it.
I remember just staring out the window like shocked at the beauty. Hands down the best location in town. You are a short walk to the cool bars and restaurants of Burleigh Heads. Breathtaking ocean views.

Fine dining Gold Coast style
The best of the best.
Staring out to the ocean from your table is like watching a living work of art. Order the bug rolls (everyone does because they are iconic) and enjoy the cool laid back vibes. Just make sure you make a reservation!!

The Tropic - Burleigh Heads Restaurants
One of the Gold Coast's most awarded restaurants and it's conveniently located on the bottom floor of our HOTA gallery so you can have a quick stroll around the exhibitions before eating. Ughh I want to go back and do it again.
