Local tip
The ocean boardwalk at the end of the street is a convenient way to reach the beach and continue towards Kirra, Coolangatta or Tugun.

La Costa Motel is a 10-room boutique accommodation property at 127 Golden Four Drive in Bilinga, on the Southern Gold Coast. Positioned between Bilinga and Kirra beaches, it combines a relaxed beachside setting with a retro-inspired style and practical modern comforts. The atmosphere is designed around the character of a classic coastal beach shack, making the motel a suitable base for short breaks, airport stopovers and easy beach access.

The motel is close to Gold Coast Airport, with self check-in available for late arrivals. Arrival instructions are provided before check-in, helping guests settle in after a late flight or a day on the road. The accommodation suits travellers who value a straightforward stay near the coast without being far from local walks, beaches and nearby town centres.

Four room categories cover different travel arrangements. Standard Studios include one queen bed, while Twin Studios have two king single beds. Deluxe Studios combine one queen bed with one king single bed, and the Family Room includes one queen bed, two king single beds and two bathrooms. The range makes La Costa Motel suitable for solo travellers, couples, small families and friends travelling together.

A short walk from the property leads to an ocean boardwalk and the beach. The tree-lined route continues towards cafes, restaurants and shops in Kirra, Coolangatta and Tugun, giving guests access to the Southern Gold Coast without needing to stay directly in a busy town centre. The local surf club is also within walking distance, while Point Danger, Rainbow Bay and Coolangatta Beach provide further coastal destinations nearby.

La Costa Motel works well for visitors attending weddings, festivals, markets and surfing events across the Southern Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales. It also provides a practical location for hospital visits and stays connected with Southern Cross University. For travellers comparing Queensland coastal accommodation, from the Whitsundays to the southern Gold Coast, the motel offers a smaller-scale alternative focused on beach access, convenient arrival and a distinctive nostalgic style.
