Step into a time machine and enter the world of retro cool at this converted Motel, The Pink Hotel Coolangatta. With its pastel pink walls, palm trees, flamingos, and twinkling fairy lights, it's like a scene straight out of Barbie's dream world.

It's a nod to the nostalgic rock n roll dreams of Palm Springs in the 1960s and has been lovingly restored by a trio of childhood friends who wanted to preserve the magic of yesteryear. Get ready for days filled with relaxation on sun loungers and nights filled with good times on the rooftop.

When it comes to coastal suburbs in Australia, Coolangatta is a standout. This place is more than just a beach - it's an experience.

As a local, you'll appreciate the vibrant community that thrives here. The beach-side vibe is relaxed and authentic, and you'll sense it as soon as you step off the plane at Gold Coast Airport. Make sure to check out the famous point break that draws surfers from all over the world. Beyond the beach, there's a stunning coastal walking trail that takes you through Greenmount Hill and Rainbow Bay. Stop for a bite to eat at one of the many alfresco dining spots overlooking the water, or head to one of the iconic Surf Clubs for a taste of the salty air and some good old-fashioned fun.

In June, the town comes alive with Cooly Rocks On, Australia's biggest nostalgia festival. The mix of motors, music, and a retro-inspired lifestyle will leave you feeling not only like you have seen the 60's, but coming home to it with any stay at The Pink Hotel Coolangatta.
