Queensland, Australia: Enjoy the views of sparkling Burleigh Heads Beach from the patio of our 2 bed,2 bath beachside unit.
Sit on the verandah and watch the surfers in the waves, stroll five minutes to a variety of eateries, take a plunge in the sea, or take a walk in the National Park. Plenty to do, and all very close! The building has a gym, two half-tennis courts , heated indoor pool, two spas, outdoor pool, barbecue area and a sauna. There is secure undercover parking. The 4 managers live in the building. Our unit was completely refurbished in 2002 and is well-furnished and equipped. There are two bedrooms, both carpeted, with built-ins. The main has a queen-size bed, and opens onto the main verandah. The kid's room has a single bed, and a bunk bed (with a pull-out trundle under, but if you use it, the floor space is getting squidgy!). That room has a little verandah off it. There are two bathrooms, the one off the main bedroom has a shower; the other has a bath with shower over, and clothes-washer and dryer. The carpeted living area also opens onto the main verandah, and has TV, videoplayer and stereo, ceiling fans and lots of books, as well as comfortable furniture and gorgeous art works. There is a dining table indoors as well as outdoor dining on the verandah. The funky kitchen has a breakfast bar with four stools, as well as dishwasher, plenty of crockery, glasses, etc. It is not a huge unit, being about 80 square meters (ish) , but it is well-planned and we have had many happy holidays there. See www. pacificregis. com. au for the building's website.

Burleigh Heads is located in between Coolangatta and Surfers Paradise beaches, on Queensland�s famous Gold Coast, and is well-known as one of the best surf-breaks on the coast. It�s family friendly, with surf-lifesavers patrolling flagged areas. Burleigh beach is lined with parkland, with walking and cycle paths, and picnic and BBQ areas. Gorgeous beaches and great food make the perfect blend on a sunny day. Try the local cuisine in one of the beachfront cafes or restaurants. It�s a short walk to the wonderful National Park where you can see some fabulous scenery and there are a number of walking trails which you can follow around the coastline, which are very pretty. The great art and craft markets which are very popular are on at Burleigh, right in front of our unit, on the last Sunday of every month (or one of three other beaches every other Sunday).
Burleigh Heads has great shopping and plenty of variety in food choices.
We tend to park the car and not use it again, as everywhere is walkable. Our last exchangees found buses were easy and handy and the building managers were helpful about schedules. A short drive takes you to a host of Australian wildlife at David Fleays Wildlife Park, and at Currumbin Bird Sanctuary. Drive to Gold Coast tourist attractions like Sea world, Dream world, Movie world and Jupiters Casino. Nearby at Coolangatta is a local airport which flies directly to all capital cities with in Australia. Heading inland West Burleigh is home to a large industrial and shopping park where you can find almost anything. Burleigh is an hour�s drive to Brisbane, and a one hour(ish) flight to Sydney. It�s just a great holiday destination.
