A location that's just right

The Gold Coast is best known as the glamorous sun and surf playground of the rich and famous. Yet, just minutes from Southport's bustle, Merrimac offers relaxed charm.

Here, nowhere is too far away. Gooding Drive offers a serene, stress-free character that's perfect for young families who want to enjoy the pleasures of the coast, but would prefer to avoid the constant crush of tourism.

From Gooding Drive, it's a short, easy drive to Pacific Fair or the Robina Shopping Centre. The Broadbeach mall is only eight minutes away while you can reach Surfers Paradise in 15 minutes.

With a bus stop right outside, you can even choose public transport. And because the Nerang and Robina Railway Stations are only 10 minutes away you can be in the centre of Brisbane in as little as 40 minutes!

Of course, if golf is your passion, there are dozens of world-class 18-hole courses within a stone's throw of Gooding Drive.

Families will also appreciate the closeness of child care centres, medical and dental services and private and public schools. And with Bond University just around the corner, Gooding Drive is sure to be popular with students.
