Local tip
The ocean boardwalk begins about 50 metres from the end of the street and links the motel with coastal walks towards Kirra and Coolangatta.

La Costa Motel is a small boutique accommodation property on Golden Four Drive in Bilinga, on the Southern Gold Coast. The setting combines a beachside position with convenient access to the airport, making it suited to short stopovers, coastal breaks and stays connected with the nearby beaches of Bilinga and Kirra.

The motel has a retro-inspired character shaped by a relaxed beach-shack atmosphere. Rooms pair that nostalgic styling with modern comfort, creating an unfussy base for time by the coast. The accommodation includes Standard Studios, Twin Studios, Deluxe Studios and a Family Room, allowing the property to cater to solo travellers, couples, friends and families. The Family Room includes separate sleeping arrangements and two bathrooms, while the other room types provide more compact options for shorter stays.

Late arrivals are supported through a self check-in system. Instructions are provided before arrival, which can be useful for guests landing late at the nearby airport or reaching Bilinga outside conventional reception hours. This practical approach also suits travellers using the motel as a convenient overnight stop before or after a flight.

The beach is close to the property, with the ocean boardwalk beginning around 50 metres from the end of the street. The tree-lined route leads along the coast towards the cafes, restaurants and shops of Kirra, Coolangatta and Tugun. The local surf club is within an easy walk, while Point Danger, Rainbow Bay and Coolangatta Beach offer further coastal destinations around the Southern Gold Coast.

La Costa Motel suits travellers seeking straightforward accommodation with personality rather than a large resort environment. It also provides a practical base for beach visits, surfing events, festivals, markets, weddings and visits connected with Southern Cross University or John Flynn Hospital. Its combination of retro styling, compact room choices, nearby shoreline and airport access gives the property a distinct coastal stopover character.
