Broadbeach Savannah Hotel & Resort

8/10 Good

"I did not stay long enough to make use of the amenities. The room was adequate but the shower in the bath seemed a little awkward and dangerous as there was nothing to hold on to getting in and out of the bath/shower (a handrail would have made it a little safer). The corridors were a bit dark at night with not a lot of lighting and there was absolutely no staff around after a certain hour. The sliding door to the balcony could not be locked, until I found a bolt that was used to secure the door to the floor. The bed was nice but it only had a sheet on it and no doona. I eventually discovered the doona in a cupboard but it probably should have been on the bed. The stay was pleasant and I would probably stay there again. I understand by the look of all the equipment in the foyer that the site is about to undergo a refurbishment. I know that the door of my room was in desperate need of a paint as the adjoining room looked new whilst my door looked out of place. Hopefully next time, it is better."

Avani Broadbeach Residences

8/10 Good

"Tidy room in a great location. Super short walk to the shops and beach. Fabulous views out over the water and the suburbs behind. While this residence was great for what it is, I would not describe it as luxury, but purely a sensible and practical location. The rooms are standard and nothing flash. One bit of feedback is for the cleaning, particularly in the bathrooms, to be more detailed as I saw mould and scum around sink and shower. The pool is a great addition. I would stay here again."

Peppers Broadbeach

8/10 Good

"Great stay, the reception staff were amazing. Room was super spacious and clean and the beds were comfy. Didn’t notice much noise from outside which was great. I didn’t realise each tower has its own pool and one of the pools shown on the listing we didn’t get to use which was a shame and a tad misleading. Overall I would stay back at peppers."

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Duranbah?

While Duranbah offers a unique coastal experience, for travellers seeking similar quality and convenience in New South Wales, the best areas to stay are Kingscliff, Byron Bay, and Cabarita Beach.

Kingscliff is just a short drive south of Duranbah and offers a relaxed coastal town feel with a focus on high-quality dining and boutique shopping. The main street, Marine Parade, runs parallel to the beach, featuring a range of excellent cafes and restaurants with ocean views. It's a great spot for couples looking for a sophisticated yet laid-back beach holiday, with opportunities for kayaking on Cudgen Creek or exploring the nearby national parks.

Byron Bay, a bit further south, is renowned for its stunning beaches, lighthouse, and a more energetic, health-conscious lifestyle. It's an excellent choice for solo travellers or couples who appreciate a wide array of wellness activities, from yoga studios to organic eateries, alongside surfing and whale watching. The town centre buzzes with activity, and there are many opportunities for outdoor adventures.

Cabarita Beach, located between Kingscliff and Byron Bay, provides a quieter, more secluded beach experience while still offering premium accommodation and dining. It's great for families seeking a peaceful retreat with beautiful beaches and fewer crowds.

When is the best time to go to Duranbah?

For most visitors, the best time to go to Duranbah is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

Autumn offers warm, settled weather with average temperatures around 20-26°C. The ocean is still warm enough for swimming and surfing, and you'll find fewer people on the beaches compared to the peak summer months. It's a great time for couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday without the intense summer heat or school holiday rush.

Spring also provides lovely weather, typically ranging from 18-25°C. The days are sunny, and the water is inviting for water sports. This period is ideal for solo travellers who enjoy outdoor activities like surfing or coastal walks, as the conditions are excellent, and there's a good buzz around the surf spots without feeling overcrowded.

If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Duranbah hotel for you.
