The Concierge Recommends: Surfers' Paradise

The Broadbeach Motor Inn at Surfers' Paradise is in the centre of the "Golden Triangle," the name given to the main entertainment area of Broadbeach, between Conrad Jupiter's Casino, Pacific Fair mall and the Oasis shopping centre.

That puts the inn within walking distance of spectacular shopping, delicious dining and evening entertainment.

Geoff and Margaret Gooley have been resident managers at the Broadbeach Motor Inn for four years.

Their recommendation for the best paid attraction at Surfers' is Dreamworld, about a 10-minute drive from the motel.

The best free attraction is most definitely the area's beaches.

With the Oasis shopping centre five minutes' walk away, choosing a best restaurant is difficult. Around the Oasis are many cafe-style restaurants that offer light meals to suit all tastes and at reasonable prices.
