Local tip
A local tip: the G:link, Northcliffe Surf Club, cafés and Broadbeach are walkable, so many outings can be made without moving the car.

Dorchester On The Beach is a self-contained beachfront apartment property at 3-7 Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise. Set between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, it occupies a quieter southern section of the coast while remaining close to cafés, restaurants, the G:link light rail, Cavill Avenue and Broadbeach. The setting suits families, couples, friends and longer stays seeking space beside the beach.

The defining feature is direct access from the building to the sand, with no road crossing between the apartments and the shoreline. Ocean views extend from the private balconies, creating a coastal setting for morning coffee, relaxed meals or time outdoors. The beach is also suited to swimming, surfing and walks along the shoreline, depending on conditions.

Accommodation is arranged in spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments with a practical holiday-apartment layout. Each apartment includes a full kitchen, laundry facilities, separate living and dining areas, air conditioning and balcony space. The design supports self-catering and longer visits, while the generous floor plan gives groups room to gather and spread out. Ocean views and the sound of the surf reinforce the relaxed beachfront character.

Shared facilities include a heated swimming pool, barbecue dining area, lounge area, free WiFi and undercover parking. Private beach access makes it easy for guests to move between the apartment, pool and shoreline without carrying beach equipment across busy roads. The property also provides a convenient base for exploring the Gold Coast, with dining, shopping, public transport and coastal attractions within walking distance or a short trip away.

Local dining ranges from casual cafés and beachfront venues to restaurants and rooftop bars in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. The apartment kitchens allow guests to prepare meals at the property, while nearby venues provide options for dining out. Dorchester On The Beach works particularly well for holidays that combine beach time with the independence of apartment accommodation, as well as sporting events, conferences and extended coastal stays.

With its sand-at-the-door setting, ocean-facing apartments and practical facilities, Dorchester On The Beach offers a relaxed base for experiencing the southern end of Surfers Paradise.
