SUBURB GUIDE
Bundall
Tucked along the Nerang River just inland from Surfers Paradise, Bundall is one of the coast's business and commercial hubs rather than a beach destination.
Bundall sits directly inland from Surfers Paradise, wrapped around a bend of the Nerang River, and functions as one of the Gold Coast's commercial and office precincts — homemaker centres, showrooms, TAFE and corporate offices dominate rather than beachfront resorts.
What it's known for
Bundall is home to a couple of well-regarded golf courses along the riverfront, and its position on the Nerang River makes it a pleasant, if under-the-radar, spot for a riverside walk or a look at Surfers Paradise's skyline from across the water. It's also a practical stop for shopping at the area's homemaker and bulky-goods centres.
Should you stay here?
Bundall isn't a typical tourist base — there's no beach directly in the suburb — but its proximity to Surfers Paradise (an easy walk or short drive) makes it a reasonable, sometimes cheaper alternative for travellers who don't need to be right on the sand, particularly golfers.
Getting there
Bundall sits just west of the Surfers Paradise tram stops; it's a short drive or a walkable distance for most of the suburb. It's about a 25-minute drive from Gold Coast Airport.
