They do not give you an option to do it in office. They also have additional cleaning requirements you must adhere to, to get your bond back. This is not noted in the listing but sent to you a few days before checkin.You find this out via an sms they send you a few days before checkin. The location and view is great though! You get parking with the booking so cant fault that. ##### Jessica Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kaja M T Jun 12, 2025 ##### Kaja M T Stayed 28 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Neptune Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Neptune-Resort.h980659.Hotel-Information) > > [Calypso Plaza Unit 220 - Coolangatta Beachfront - Min. 3 Night Stays!](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Calypso-Plaza-Unit-220-Coolangatta-Beachfront-Min-3-Night-Stays.h107827349.Hotel-Information) > > [Couran Cove Resort Overwater Studio Stradbroke Island Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Couran-Cove-Resort-Overwater-Studio-South-Stradbroke-Island.h48655546.Hotel-Information) > > [Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Norfolk-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2738877.Hotel-Information) > > [Seahaven Noosa Beachfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Noosa-Heads-Hotels-Seahaven-Noosa.h35237560.Hotel-Information) > > [Montego Sands Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Montego-Sands-Resort.h9623566.Hotel-Information) > > [Trinity Beach Pacific](https://www.expedia.ca/Cairns-Hotels-Trinity-Beach-Pacific.h574771.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Brisbane on Margaret Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Oaks-Brisbane-On-Margaret-Suites.h1568822.Hotel-Information) > > [Gold Coast Airport Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Gold-Coast-Airport-Motel.h7065321.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Ritz-Resort.h8161027.Hotel-Information) > > [Boulevard Towers](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Boulevard-Towers.h3935892.Hotel-Information) > > [Park View Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Gladstone-Hotels-Park-View-Motel.h9625892.Hotel-Information) > > [Griffith University Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Griffith-University-Village.h6768258.Hotel-Information) > > [Burleigh Beach Pad 100m from beach - stunning](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-Beach-Pad-100m-From-Beach-Stunning.h33565886.Hotel-Information) > > [Burke and Wills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toowoomba-Hotels-Burke-And-Wills-Hotel.h84269.Hotel-Information) > > [Ultra Broadbeach](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Ultra-Broadbeach.h1737565.Hotel-Information) > > [3BR, 2BA Unit with Pool, Parking & BBQ in Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Stunning-Unit-Hope-Island-Resort.h113370502.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Sands Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Mackay-Hotels-Direct-Hotels-Pacific-Sands.h10424813.Hotel-Information) > > [Shelly Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hervey-Bay-Hotels-Shelly-Bay-Resort.h4136468.Hotel-Information) > > [Smart Motel Bert Hinkler](https://www.expedia.ca/Bundaberg-Hotels-Smart-Motel-Bert-Hinkler.h1156117.Hotel-Information) > > [Broadbeach Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Broadbeach-Studios.h19708845.Hotel-Information) > > [Azzura Greens Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Azzura-Greens-Resort.h1831206.Hotel-Information) > > [Mantra Mooloolaba Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Mantra-Mooloolaba-Beach.h554654.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Gold Coast Calypso Plaza Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Oaks-Gold-Coast-Calypso-Plaza-Suites.h2816385.Hotel-Information) > > [The Currumbin Treehouse - Sauna/Ice bath/Float tank/Pool/Spa.
