Discover the Gold Coast Beyond the Ordinary
An independent guide to The Star Gold Coast in Broadbeach — its hotel towers, restaurants, pools, live entertainment and the land-based casino open to eligible adults.
Broadbeach Island
A resort precinct between the beach and the Broadwater canals.
The Star Gold Coast occupies its own island in Broadbeach, a short walk from the beach and the light rail. It brings together hotel accommodation, a collection of restaurants and bars, a pool deck, an events and theatre program, and a casino floor for adults aged 18 and over.
Many visitors come purely for dinner, a show or a weekend stay — gambling is entirely optional. This guide focuses on what to expect and where to verify the details.
