Where to stay in Robina
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
The street plan came first. Robina was drawn as a master-planned community, so its residential blocks, roads and centres follow a designed layout rather than the accumulated shape of the older suburbs of the City of Gold Coast. Rooms follow the layout.
It works for you if a planned suburb of the Gold Coast fits the visit better than one of the older quarters of the City of Gold Coast.
