City Lights Motel  

On the banks of the Tweed River at the southern end of the Gold Coast. A 1-minute walk to riverfront fishing and sunset cruises, a 5-minute drive to Coolangatta Beach and about 10 minutes from Coolangatta Airport. Theme parks like Movie World, Sea World and Dreamworld are roughly 35 minutes away, while Byron Bay, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Ukerebagh Nature Reserve and Tweed City are all close by. A solid, family-friendly motel base for exploring the coast.

Classic motel vibe with a quiet, friendly feel and warmly decorated rooms. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with a fridge, electric kettle and flat-screen TV; private bathrooms have showers and hairdryers. Some rooms add balconies and relaxing spa baths, so you can soak after a day at the beach or parks.

Outdoor swimming pool, free BBQ and picnic area, and a massage/beauty room for downtime. On-site tour assistance to book local excursions, plus laundry and ironing services. Steps from the river for fishing and cruises — wake up to fresh river breezes and easy coastal access.

Free Wi-Fi across the property and complimentary parking make short stays and longer trips convenient.

Grab-and-go comforts with on-site BBQ and picnic spots for casual meals. A cluster of nearby clubs and venues serve meals and nightly entertainment if you want a livelier night out.
