Which suburb do you call home?

Burleigh Heads

What makes that suburb the best on the GC?

Stunning beaches, walks through the sensational national park and a great variety of wonderful shops, cafes and restaurants.

Fave place to stop, relax for 20 mins and enjoy a morning cuppa? And what treat is on the plate beside your hot bevvie?

Has to be a takeaway coffee on Burleigh Hill with a warm, freshly baked Pain au chocolat from Burleigh Bakery.

Fave Gold Coast casual dining location? What’s on the menu?

Lunch at Rick Shores – the view is second to none. Bug roll, sashimi, dumplings and
a glass of rose.

You’re planning a fun, local night out with your mates? Which three locations top
your list and why?

A sunset drink at the Justin Lane rooftop bar, then downstairs and up the road for a delicious dinner at Jimmy Wahs and if I were to kick on, Cambus Wallace is my kind of bar.

Best local spot for family hangs and why?

If the surf’s just right, Burleigh Beach – you’ll find me under the beach umbrella and the kids and hubby catching waves. If the surf’s too big or too small, a walk through the national park to stunning Talle Creek – Burleigh has best of both worlds!

Fave Gold Coast shopping destination?

Food shopping is my favourite kind of shopping – I love my Saturday morning weekly shop at Palm Beach Market. It sets me up for an organised, healthy and delicious week ahead.

That we’ve got it all – bountiful fresh produce, sensational beaches, a stunning hinterland and sparkling winter days!

Which suburb do you call home?

Palm Beach

What makes that suburb the best on the GC?

So many things… The best stretch of beach between Burleigh and Currumbin for a surf/dog walk/early morning sunrise swim. Amazing cafés, restaurants and bars providing great quality product and service. Awesome friendly people that say good morning with a real smile!

Fave place to stop, relax for 20 mins and enjoy a morning cuppa? And what treat is on the plate beside your hot bevvie?

Barefoot Barista is one of our favourites. They were one of the original pioneers in Palmy and they are still doing great coffee and food. My order is a long black with their bacon and egg sandwich and, if I’m feeling naughty, one of their delicious home baked muffins.

Fave Gold Coast casual dining location? What’s on the menu?

We are so spoilt for choice right now… Good time to be a Gold Coaster! Some of our favourites are Glenelg Public House for steak, Etsu for Japanese, Mexicali for Mexican and Gemellini for Italian. Or for something different, you should definitely try out Rabbath in Burleigh for middle Eastern food done really well.

You’re planning a fun, local night out with your mates? Which three locations top
your list and why?

We start at Rick Shores (as the sun goes down) with a couple of cocktails and a bug roll or three. Then move to 8th Ave Terrace for dinner accompanied by some great wines. Then head to The Scottish Prince for live music, after dinner cocktails and their insane whisky selection.

Best local spot for family hangs and why?

Burleigh Hill on a Sunday afternoon with a picnic, especially when the swell is up, is a pretty magic place. Sitting looking over the ocean to Surfers Paradise while the waves role through and people all hanging out has a really nice vibe.

Fave Gold Coast shopping destination?

Honestly, I am not much of a shopper, but I do really like what they have done at Pacific Fair – particularly the well-positioned restaurants and bars that allow the perfect pit stop for when I am running out of shopping stamina but my partner is still going strong.

That feeling when the storm rolls in at about 5pm, sitting by the window or on a balcony, opening a bottle of wine, putting the music on and watching the amazing show that Mother Nature is about to put on!

Which suburb do you call home?

Burleigh

What makes that suburb the best on the GC?

The great community that resides here and its vibrant feel. It’s close to the beach and one of the best surf breaks in the world (which makes my hubby and two boys happy). Great restaurants and bars are at our doorstep too. My girlfriends and I have a
hashtag…#whybaliwhenyoucanburleigh.

Fave place to stop, relax for 20 mins and enjoy a morning cuppa? And what treat is on the plate beside your hot bevvie?

Lakeview Expresso in Burleigh Street make the best chai teas and it’s brewed using
real leaves in a pot (not the syrup)! If I have time to treat myself it’ll be with a
delicious almond croissant and a girlfriend to catch up on some goss..

Fave Gold Coast casual dining location? What’s on the menu?

Little Plate is in the back streets of Burleigh. It’s intimate, friendly and the perfect
place to share some delicious tapas style food. You can’t go wrong ordering anything
of this varied menu but the mussels are a highlight for me and my 12 year old son.

You’re planning a fun, local night out with your mates? Which three locations top
your list and why?

Starting off in early afternoon with an Aperol Spritz at Rickshaws –
the best place for admiring the beach views and an entree with the best bug roll
(warning: just stop at one!). Then moving to the fun and lively atmosphere at Jimmy
Wah’s Vietnamese inspired dining. You could try one of their many Asian-skewed
cocktails but I keep it simple with a chilled Rosé while devouring the Yellowfin tuna
sashimi. The party can continue on as late as you want at Justin Lane Rooftop Bar.
Listening to cool tunes under the stars on a balmy Gold Coast evening make this the
perfect place to end the night.

Best local spot for family hangs and why?

A family and friends day at the beach in the corner at South Burleigh. Often protected
by the winds you can hang there all day. Close enough to watch those who want to surf and those who want to climb rocks and collect shells. Grab a delicious take away
coffee from Nook and some hot chips from the South Burleigh kiosk.

Fave Gold Coast shopping destination?

I love keeping it local and shopping in James Street, Burleigh. I always seem to find
something at Bikini and Me. Or if I’m up for the drive then Pacific Fair since it’s been
done up has all the brands under the one roof.

Complete this sentence: Only a Gold Coast local knows…

How lucky we are to be living in such a wonderful place. There is more to living here than the amazing weather, the pristine beaches, great surf and theme parks. There is a community here that is genuine and vibrant, that’s interested in the arts and cultural activities. The place to be for creatives and entrepreneurs!

Broadbeach

It’s close to the beach, Pacific Fair, some amazing bars and restaurants and it’s home to Dracula’s Cabaret, of course!

Fave place to stop, relax for 20 mins and enjoy a morning cuppa? And what treat
is on the plate beside your hot bevvie?

Caffe Cherry beans in Pacific Fair has the best coffee! And I’ll have one with a Nutella protein ball on the side.

Fave Gold Coast casual dining location? What’s on the menu?

Vappianos and it would have to be mushroom fettuccine.

You’re planning a fun, local night out with your mates? Which three locations top
your list and why?

The Loose Moose (it’s a nice place with great live music, yummy
food and cocktails), Koi (for the exact same reason) and top of the list would be
Dracula’s Cabaret! There’s nothing like it on the Gold Coast – great entertainment
and food and a night full of surprises and fun.

Best local spot for family hangs and why?

The beach for sure! Currumbin is especially great and has fun activities like stand-up paddle boarding and even dog friendly sections!

Fave Gold Coast shopping destination?

Pacific Fair, definitely!

Close to great dining – mainly at Isle of Capri.

Fave place to stop, relax for 20 mins and enjoy a morning cuppa? And what treat is on the plate beside your hot bevvie?

The back deck of my home with the dogs. Nice cup of tea and a curry pie.

why? Hellenika in Nobby’s, then on to the Star Casino, finishing at a
mate’s house for free drinks.

Broadwater, either on a boat or relaxing along the foreshore. The water is calm for little ones and there’s always so much going on.

Fave Gold Coast shopping destination?

Harbourtown, as there’s always the best discounts.

Complete this sentence: Only a Gold Coast local knows…

The extent of our arts and culture scene and how it is evolving. Check out HOTA, Miami Marketta or NightQuarter. Fantastic.
