we live in burleigh on the beach and love it. Just a short walk from the beach and close to the commune cafe. There is a swimming pool, spa, gym and BBQ area. The apartment comes with a kitchen, which is a huge plus if you travel with kids and like to cook your own meals. Worth mentioning – there are a few stairs so if you have a stroller this is not the most convenient way to go.
