At a glance
The Cheshire Cat Motel is a boutique accommodation stay at 1005 Gold Coast Highway, Palm Beach, with a restored beachside motel character and a relaxed, design-led atmosphere. The property combines nostalgic motel styling with a more contemporary, low-key approach to comfort, creating a setting suited to travellers who value character, simplicity and a convenient coastal location.
Accommodation includes six fully appointed queen rooms and a two-bedroom apartment. The room selection makes the motel suitable for short coastal breaks, couples and small travelling parties seeking a compact Palm Beach base. A contactless guest experience supports an independent style of stay, while complimentary on-site parking adds practical convenience for road travellers.
The shared facilities centre on an outdoor pool deck and a communal terrace. The pool area features a terracotta-edged plunge pool, palms and sun loungers, offering a place for a quiet swim or time in the sun after a visit to the coast. The terrace provides a more social outdoor setting, with shade, seating and an outdoor rain shower. It suits relaxed conversation, casual downtime or a change of scene between outings.
The motel sits on the ocean side of the southern Gold Coast Highway in Palm Beach. The nearest beach entrance is around 200 metres away, with no major road crossing needed on the walk. Palm Beach cafes, eateries and bars are also within an easy stroll, giving the accommodation access to the neighbourhood's locally run food and drink scene without requiring a long drive.
The location places The Cheshire Cat Motel close to the laid-back coastal character associated with Palm Beach, while keeping Burleigh Heads and Gold Coast Airport within a practical driving distance. Its easygoing design and outdoor spaces may also appeal to travellers who enjoy the relaxed coastal atmosphere found across destinations such as the Whitsundays. The motel is best suited to guests looking for a distinctive beachside base rather than a full-service resort or dining venue.
