Luxury Short Stays
Curating your stay
Region
Hinterland mornings, headland walks, ocean dusks
From Burleigh and Mermaid Beach to the rainforest above Tamborine and Springbrook, the Gold Coast is the warm-weather counterpart to our Victorian portfolio, architect-built houses close to the water, with the hinterland a short drive inland.
Forget the high-rise stereotype, Lively's Gold Coast is the quieter Gold Coast. Architect-renovated beach houses in Mermaid and Palm Beach, Burleigh headland walks at sunrise, and dinners at Rick Shores, The Tropic, or Rae's on Wategos a short drive south.
The hinterland is the secret. Twenty minutes from the sand, the country lifts into the Tamborine and Springbrook ranges, rainforest, waterfalls, and properties with valley views that feel a thousand kilometres from the strip.
We've built our Gold Coast collection around the same principle as the Mornington one: considered architecture, exceptional sites, hosts who take hospitality seriously.
Burleigh, Mermaid, and Palm Beach, point breaks, headland walks, and the warm Coral Sea year-round.
Tamborine, Springbrook, and the Currumbin Valley: rainforest, waterfalls, and air twenty degrees cooler than the coast.
Rick Shores under the Burleigh headland, The Tropic in Palm Beach, Etsu Izakaya, and Hellenika at Nobby Beach.
Snapper Rocks, D-Bah, and Burleigh Point, three of the most consistent right-handers in the country.





We curate a small portfolio of homes worth telling stories about. If yours is one of them, we'd love to hear from you.
