The place was perfect for a quick get away, only stayed one night but Diane and John the owners made a big impact on our stay, very friendly and going beyond to make sure our stay was memorable. The breakfast basket was a big win for us, so thoughtful. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others.

I was pleasantly surprised, having expected that the description of it as a 1950s motel was simply an excuse for justifying tired and simple rooms. Diane & John clearly take pride in their motel, which shows in all the extra touches they have put in. My only complaint was that there was a lot of noise of people walking around in the room above mine, resuming at 4:30 am. No more sleep after that! The motel was only a short walk to Gold Coast Airport, and a stone’s throw from the beach, which looked lovely.

We stayed just one overnight at La Costa Motel. The motel is comfortable quiet and conveniently located to a wide choice of dining options, the beach, a walking/cycling track and the airport. The hosts are genuine thoughtful people who took care of our needs. Thank you for having us stay.
