The lamb koftas and Moreton Bay bugs at a pub across the road from Burleigh Beach is not a combination you expect to work this well. The Burleigh Heads Hotel runs two bars, a restaurant, and a gaming room from its spot on The Esplanade, and on a good night, it genuinely delivers. The menu swings from fresh seafood to classic pub meals, the R&B playlist keeps things moving, and the beach views from the outdoor seating do most of the heavy lifting on atmosphere. Service is warm when it's on, with regulars quick to name specific staff who made their night. The honest caveat: consistency wobbles, and a quiet Monday can be a different experience to a buzzing Friday. Book ahead, sit outside, and order the chicken karaage.
Christmas buffet lunch was incredible - from the five star food to the exceptional service. The food included cold and hot seafood, salads and the full range of hot buffet. The staff made the day, with most professional and friendly vibe. Thank you Burleigh Heads Hotel - we’ll be back.
Absolutely loved our stay at Burleigh Heads Hotel! The location is unbeatable - right across from the beach with stunning ocean views and easy access to Burleigh’s cafés, shops, and walking tracks. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. The atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant, and the food and drinks downstairs were excellent - perfect after a day in the sun. Everything about this place makes it ideal for a coastal getaway. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Burleigh Heads!
Hands down one of the best nights I’ve had in a pub in ages! The food was incredible. I had the lamb koftas, chicken karaage and Moreton Bay bugs and every single dish was spot on: fresh and cooked perfectly. Service was top-notch. Big and huge thanks to Chloe and Annie who went above and beyond to make the night feel special. The vibe is exactly what you want: great atmosphere, quick service and the R&B playlist was unreal. Great spot to get one admin completed and read my book too! Already looking forward to coming back again - absolutely recommend!

Burleigh Heads
The Moreton Bay bug roll has its own reputation, and the coconut prawn curry with housemade roti backs it up. Right on Burleigh Heads beach, open windows facing the water, Pan-Asian menu with a chef's hat. Sunset bookings go fast for good reason.

Currumbin Valley
A Currumbin Valley cafe with country-road ease and city-level coffee. The carrot cake is legendary for its size, the steak sandwich on sourdough earns genuine repeat visits, and the dessert counter will slow you down. Portions are generous, prices are fair, weekends are busy.

2 steak orders medium rare, supplied well done. Steak photo for context, salad came with ONLY leaves and 2 bits of parmesan. Straight up ignored/forgot/ran out of 2 from 7 ingredients in the duck salad - nuts and herbs. Beers ordered on QR code were straight up walked past; dockets just forgotten on the till until we asked them. Then beers given were schooeys when we ordered pints... It was a quiet Monday, no specials on, full prices, no busy-ness to justify any of this. All music straight out of the 90s freebie list. Only earned a 2/5 because one of our mates enjoyed her poke bowl, and the food didn't take an exorbitant amount of time (wasn't quick though). I know you need to give ALH venues a bit of rope sometimes, but this was bloody pathetic.
What a vibe. I think the lovely servers name was Lauren. She was outstanding. Pours a great bevvie. I will come back biweekly and bring my family.
Carrara
A Carrara clubhouse that earns its crowd beyond the fairway. Lake views, a full bistro menu, pizza, kids' meals, and booths built for big group dinners. Thursday evening specials draw a loyal after-golf crowd. Service is genuinely attentive.
