Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Southport
For most travelers, Gold Coast Airport (OOL) is the clear winner; it is the nearest facility and serves as the primary gateway to the Gold Coast region. While it does not offer international long-haul flights comparable to Brisbane Airport (BNE), its proximity makes it exceptionally convenient, with a seamless bus-and-tram connection to the city. Brisbane Airport (BNE) is the major international hub, located in the neighboring city of Brisbane; it is better suited for travelers needing global connections, and the Airtrain makes the journey to Southport straightforward despite the distance. The other options serve different regions: Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport (WTB) is located far to the west in Toowoomba, Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK) is in New South Wales to the south, and Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY) serves the Sunshine Coast region to the north. These three are not in Southport and generally only make sense if your travel plans specifically involve those surrounding areas.

It is the new Airbnb is an apartment as a hotel type, so many things are not perfect. The App writes 2 o'clock check-in. When I have to register, I am told that the room has not been cleaned up. It takes 3 o'clock to check in. It is then told that it is not good. I have to wait again. Then the app also writes 12 o'clock checkout. But After asking, it was 10 o'clock. This would make customers very confused, okay! ? And there is a foreign waiter who has a bad attitude! Secondly, after checking in, I found that some places were not very clean and there was no check-in information. For example, the Wifi password, the location of the swimming pool gym, did not inform you that you have to ask in person! On the same day, I encountered that the Wifi was broken and I had to repair it for two days. I couldn't use the TV at all! Accommodation is good Location close to Seaworld not far from downtown But because it may be a lot of new things are not perfect I hope they can improve!FromUS$136

The hotel had parking and a great location. The front desk staff were very polite. Our room was clean. The shower door didn't close completely, possibly detached or broken, but it wasn't a major issue. I was really happy with the strong water pressure from the shower.FromUS$97

This new hotel is well-equipped and clean. The female manager was very attentive and thoughtful. Seeing that we had a baby with us, she contacted housekeeping and quickly arranged an early check-in. The water view is beautiful, and the elevators are fast. There's a McDonald's and a small convenience store right across the street. The small playground next door is nice, and the small beach is just a stone's throw away. Great value for money!Very Good214 Reviews
