(615 reviews)
The lights are on at midnight when almost nothing else is open between Byron and the Gold Coast, and that counts for a lot on a long drive. Ampol Foodary Chinderah sits at the junction of Tweed Valley Way and the Pacific Highway, functioning as a fuel stop, convenience store, and Boost Juice outpost for travellers pushing through at odd hours. The food court setup is straightforward: grab-and-go snacks, hot drinks when the machines are running, and a Boost counter with reliable staff. Reviews are mixed enough to set expectations honestly. Toilets have been a recurring issue during peak periods and late nights. When it's working as it should, staff are genuinely helpful and the space is clean. Come in with road-trip standards, not cafe standards, and it delivers.

What People Say
Service centre is advertised as 24Hrs- Well don’t be fooled, the toilets are closed ( for repairs they say but as it’s 2300 -HIGHLY unlikely) we were sent to the truckers lounge where there was a line up and no soap . What’s the point in working if you don’t want to do your job properly .
Excellent service...food area all very clean, great hot coffee. Lots of smiles from staff at Boost. Toilets very clean. I don't know why some previous posts are negative 😕
Hi , just want to say a huge thanks for you guys and a guy who works last Sunday night till 6 am . You are doing a great and fantastic jobs on the customer service . We stuck on the storm back then and the guy helped us get out of the weather . Make sure we are comfortable and warm .
No toilets open/working during peak travel over new years is pretty ordinary. Families with little kids had nowhere to take them. Foodcourt toilets should have been opened.
“No coffees at the moment sorry” - wow Ampol, the only place open here at 1:20am, and no coffee to assist drivers who’ve stopped here as a break from a long drive and specifically for coffee to continue on. Will be making a point to stop at BP SERVICE centres for coffee when on long drives from now on.

Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Life Saving Club
Currumbin
Window seats overlooking Elephant Rock book out fast at this Currumbin Beach institution. The $35 porterhouse and calamari earn their regulars, the views earn everyone else, and the prices keep whole families coming back week after week.
The Beechmont Hotel
Advancetown
Free live music, low-and-slow brisket, and line dancing on a Tuesday — The Beechmont Hotel is a proper country pub sitting above the Gold Coast in the Hinterland. The smokehouse platter is the move. Bring the whole crew, grab a spot outdoors, and let the meals come when they come.
BSKT
Mermaid Beach
The avocado on toast with halloumi has a loyal following, and the beachside patio explains why. BSKT runs a broad menu covering vegan, keto, gluten-free, and paleo without the joyless health-cafe energy. Open from 5am, kitchen closes at 2:30pm.
Bam Bam Bakehouse
Mermaid Beach
The chicken karaage croissant alone justifies the detour to Mermaid Beach. Bam Bam Bakehouse does all-day brunch with serious pastry credentials, Single O coffee, and a menu that roams from açai bowls to green tea noodles. Bright room, relaxed pace, good baked goods to take away.
