Where you stay shapes how you holiday. Here's why Kirra Point Holiday Apartments is the perfect base.

Right on the southern edge of the Gold Coast, Coolangatta blends surf, sunshine and laid-back charm. And tucked into its northern stretch, you'll find Kirra. Known for its iconic surf break and slower pace, Kirra offers all the access to Coolangatta with a little more breathing room, and a lot more beachfront.

Whether you're searching for Coolangatta places to stay or planning a beachfront escape, Kirra Point Holiday Apartments puts you right where you want to be: beside the beach, steps from standout dining, and close to iconic spots like Greenmount Beach and Point Danger Lookout.

1. For the Beach Lover

Wake up, grab a coffee from downstairs at Made Barber & Coffee, and be on the sand in minutes. With panoramic ocean views from many rooms and the surf just across the street, this is Coolangatta beachfront accommodation at its most effortless. Kirra Beach is your front yard,  and Snapper Rocks and Coolangatta Beach are just a scenic stroll away.

2. For the Style-Seeker

Expect more than just the basics. Kirra Point’s apartments are designed with natural textures, soft coastal palettes and generous proportions that blur the lines between indoors and out.

5. For the Food-Lovers

From Coolangatta favourites like Big Papi’s Cocina, Pokkoi Kitchen, Pipi’s Restaurant and The Bread Social in Tweed Heads, this pocket of the Southern Gold Coast is a food lover’s dream. Start the day with artisan pastries, wander into Cooly for fresh local seafood, or book in for a long lunch by the ocean in Kirra.

Even better, you don’t need to leave your holiday apartment building to eat well. Downstairs, you'll find two of Kirra’s most popular venues:

  • Kirra Beach Hotel: Classic pub vibes, crowd-pleasing eats, kids’ meals, cold beers and space to sprawl post-beach.

6. For the Experience Seeker

From legendary surf breaks to coastal lookouts, everything that makes the Southern Gold Coast special is at your fingertips. Here, you're flanked by two of the Gold Coast’s best beaches: Kirra and Coolangatta, separated only by the legendary Kirra Point headland. 

Start the day with sunrise at Kirra Hill Lookout, hire bikes and cruise the Oceanway path north to Tugun, or walk the southern coastline to Greenmount, Snapper Rocks or Rainbow Bay. Go for a swim in protected coves, book a surf lesson, or keep it simple and watch the waves roll in with a coffee in hand.
