On the water at Coombabah, in the heart of the northern Gold Coast
Paradise Lakes sits among parkland and quiet waterways just back from the Broadwater — a calm, leafy pocket of the Gold Coast that still feels close to everything. For many families, it's a familiar part of the world, and that makes the move a little easier.
A setting that feels like the Gold Coast you know
Our home is arranged as three low-rise houses set around lakeside gardens, so days here are unhurried — a walk by the water, morning sun on the terrace, family dropping in on their way past.
Lakeside & leafy
Gardens, water views and shaded walking paths, wrapped by the Coombabah conservation parklands.
Three intimate houses
Just 48 rooms across three connected houses — small enough that everyone knows your name.
Close to the Broadwater
A short drive from the beaches, boardwalks and open water the northern Gold Coast is loved for.
Close to everything that matters
Being easy to reach matters — for family visiting often, and for peace of mind that good healthcare is nearby.
Easy for family to visit
Simple access via the M1 and major arterials, with parking on site.
Hospitals nearby
Close to major public and private hospitals at Southport and Benowa.
Shops & services
Minutes from Runaway Bay's shopping and Harbour Town, plus cafés, pharmacies and specialists.
