Explore The Star Gold Coast Australia

The Star Gold Coast Australia is more than a gaming venue. Hotels, pools, a spa, restaurants and a theatre all share one island in Broadbeach, so you can spend a full day there without placing a bet.

Finding Your Way to Broadbeach Island

The resort occupies its own island beside the Nerang River. Getting there takes little planning, whether you drive, catch the tram or fly in.

Location and Neighbours

The Star Gold Coast address is 1 Casino Drive, Broadbeach Island, Broadbeach QLD 4218. The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre links directly to the complex. Pacific Fair, Oasis Shopping Centre and the beach sit within walking distance.

Transport Options

  • Gold Coast Airport: roughly a 30-minute drive south of the resort.
  • Brisbane: allow about 90 minutes by road.
  • G:link tram: get off at Broadbeach North. Services run every 7.5 minutes on weekdays and every 10 minutes on weekends, between 7am and 7pm.

Choosing a Room That Suits Your Trip

The resort offers more than 1,000 rooms, suites and apartments across four properties. Match your choice to your budget, group size and length of stay.

Deals Worth Checking

Book through the resort's own website to access The Star Gold Coast accommodation  packages:

  • Stay and Dine: accommodation bundled with a meal.
  • Stay and Save: a lower room rate.
  • Four or More: reduced pricing for stays of four nights or longer.
  • Book Direct, Park Free: complimentary parking with a direct booking.
  • Family Time: a package built for families.

Compare direct rates against booking sites before you pay. The free parking often closes the gap.

Pools, Spa and Time Off

Plan at least one afternoon by the water. The pools and spa sit close together, so you can move between them easily.

Swimming

  • The Star Grand Pool: an outdoor pool with two spa tubs, cabanas and a pool bar. Reserve a cabana early on weekends and during school holidays.
  • Isoletto Pool Club: a separate club serving food and drinks, also available for private hire.

Treatments and Fitness

Azure Spa & Fitness operates on the pool level of The Star Grand. It offers treatments alongside a gym. Book your treatment online ahead of time, since weekend slots go first.

Where to Eat and Drink

The resort runs 11 restaurants and six bars. Most sit a short walk apart, so you can decide once you're hungry.

Restaurants

The Star Gold Coast restaurants span these cuisines and formats:

  • Kiyomi: Japanese cuisine with an omakase menu. Reserve a table in advance.
  • Nineteen at The Star: a rooftop restaurant and lounge bar, open for breakfast too. Arrive before sunset.
  • Cucina Vivo: Italian dining, with a regular long lunch.
  • Uncle Su: Cantonese dishes, live seafood and handmade yum cha at lunchtime.
  • Garden Kitchen & Bar: a seasonal menu, with a lawn that hosts live music.
  • Mei Wei Dumplings: hawker-style Asian plates.
  • Food Quarter: a food court for a fast, casual meal.

The Buffet

The Star Gold Coast buffet is Harvest Buffet, which serves a wide range of hot and cold dishes. Bookings run from 12pm to 8pm. Turn up at the start of a sitting, when the trays are freshly stocked.

Bars

  • Cherry: a 22-metre bar pouring signature cocktails.
  • Veladora: on the old monorail site. Look for the red palm tree.
  • Atrium Bar: booths available for groups of four or more.
  • Sports Bar: large screens for major sport and trivia on Tuesdays.

Shows, Events and Functions

The entertainment program extends well beyond gaming. Check what's on before you arrive and lock in tickets early.

The Star Theatre

The theatre seats more than 2,000 people and hosts touring artists, comedians and tribute acts. Recent line-ups have included Don McLean, Air Supply, Suzi Quatro, The Church, The Ten Tenors, Randy Feltface and Joe Avati.

Checking What's On

The Star Gold Coast shows schedule changes every month, so look up the What's On page on the official website for current dates. Regular fixtures include comedy nights, line dancing, Bingo Loco, Jazz & Gin sessions and Spritz Saturdays at Nineteen. The resort also runs events for the Melbourne Cup, Derby Day, the footy finals, the Gold Coast 500, Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Private Functions

The venue caters for conferences, gala dinners, weddings and Christmas parties. Spaces include the Event Centre, Level 18, Isoletto Privé and several ballrooms.

Practical Details for Your Visit

Sort out timing and transport before you set off. Both affect how smoothly your day runs.

Hours

The Star Gold Coast opening hours differ by venue. The casino trades 24/7, while restaurants, bars, the spa and the pools keep their own times. Check the official website before public holidays, when hours change.

Parking

The Star Gold Coast parking is undercover and secure, with a 1.95-metre height limit.

At the time of writing, rates are:

  • Monday to Thursday: the first three hours are free, then A$10 to A$30.
  • Friday to Sunday: A$10 to A$60, depending on how long you stay.
  • Motorcycles: A$7 for 24 hours.
  • Hotel guests: A$20 per night.
  • Valet: A$65 per day.

Members of е at Gold tier and above park free. Bronze and Silver members park free once they earn five Tier Points in a day. If the car park fills up, use the Convention Centre car park, about 10 minutes away on foot.

Local Tip

Park once and stay on the island for the whole day. Arrive before midday on a weekday so the three free hours cover lunch at Uncle Su and an afternoon at the pool. Then book Kiyomi or Harvest Buffet for an early dinner, and finish at the theatre or up on Nineteen.
