Traveler advice
Don't miss
Sunrise at Burleigh Hill is a special experience
If you have a car whilst you're here, drive south to Burleigh Hill and join the crowds to watch the sunrise over the ocean. It's the best vantage point at the Coast!
Ways to save
There's a grocery store just across the street!
Pop over to Oasis Centre and buy some groceries for your stay from the Woolworths. It might save you a bunch on Uber Eats or dining out if you're visiting for a while!
There's also a bottle shop and pharmacy in the centre!
