Jadran Motel and El-Jays Holiday Lodge are excellent options for those visiting Gold Coast on a budget. Close to some of the Golds Coast premier attractions, the Jadran Motel is only a stone's throw away from the beautiful Broadwater. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the water's edge (you can even take your dog).
Children's playgrounds, restaurants and take away food outlets are all within walking distance. We are also close to the Gold Coast Hospital and Griffith University precincts. It will take you just a 15-minute drive to get to four theme parks (Dreamworld, Movie World, Wet n Wild, and Sea World), to the Jupiter's Casino and to the Gold Coast Convention Centre.

Services
Family owned since 2002 we take pride in providing comfortable and affordable accommodation Gold Coast for the budget conscious traveler. Originally from the Darling Downs, we believe in old fashioned country style hospitality which is often hard to find in the bustle of the Gold Coast. We are a small friendly team who love what we do and like nothing better than to see our guests relaxed and enjoying their stay.
Getting affordable accommodation doesn't mean that you have to be hours away from the main attractions in the area. One of the main natural attractions at the Gold Coast is the Broadwater. The Broadwater is a place with great biodiversity value and a wetland listed as an international Ramsar Site. It is just 100 metres away from our motel; here you'll find the perfect mix between natural beauty, artificial waterways, and urbanisation.
Jadran Motel and El-Jays Holiday Lodge offer a range of budget, family and pet friendly accommodation options at the Gold Coast. From Motel Studio Suites to self-contained One Bedroom Apartments with kitchenettes and Two Bedroom Apartments with full kitchen facilities. So whether you're travelling to the Gold Coast for just one night or a family holiday - we have all your accommodation needs covered.
Excellent services, very close to beach, clean rooms and the nicest kindest managers you'll ever meet (extremely helpful and so generous)! Stayed there last summer and can't wait to go back. I fell in love with the managers (the way they fell in love with my scarves) Thank you so much. We had a great stay with the Jadran Motel.

What a brilliant place to stay with your dog. Facilities are tidy and comfortable. They go above and beyond to make your pet feel comfortable. Even supplying a welcome pack for your dog and a list of dog friendly cafes and restaurants. Manager was so kind and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

We stayed for 6 nights with 2 children (16yo and 12yo) with our dog (Golden Retriever). We took our dog for a morning walk every day and he is able to splash around at the dog off-leash beach area only 5 min away by walk from motel. We walked along water side to the famous fish and chips shop called Charis. It was only a 5 min drive to Australian Fair. Amazing dog off-leash beach at The Spit is just 10 minutes away by car. The dog-friendly Frigg Cafe is a 5 minute walk away. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you come to the Gold coast.

Perfect for a couple and their two dogs (staffies) welcoming and helpful front desk. A welcome pack for the dogs was a nice touch. Close to beach for the dogs and close to eateries and cafes for the humans. Neat, tidy and clean, dog blankets and towels provided by the house, I found community with the other dog owners around the pool. We’ll come back.

We had the very best experience here
The apartment was large, clean, practical and self contained. They provided all the basic necessities. We stayed with 2 kids and 3 small dogs and had a great time. Justin from the front desk was truly lovely and friendly. He gave us great advice as to which places to visit around that were dog friendly. Kids had a ball at the park across the road, in front of the water, while doggies ran ragged at the shore. We will certainly be coming back!

I advise anyone with a dog who is looking for a lovely, friendly and professional place to stay then this is the place to come. Have been here twice and can honestly say that we haven't one negative word to say about our experiences. They aren't too over priced either. And they don't just make "people" feel welcome, they make your "pet" (who is our baby) feel welcome too. They provide everything so they feel like it's a home away from home. Enjoy!!

We stayed here for 2 months when we first moved to the Gold Coast. It is the only affordable pet-friendly accommodation on the Gold Coast. We stayed in the 1 bedroom apartment, which was extremely well kept and spotlessly clean, with no doggy odour at all. It was spacious and had a nice balcony. Our dog had a beautiful welcome pack waiting for him on arrival, including his own bed, blankets and food bowls. The location is extremely convenient being 1 street away from the Broadwater, right on the Gold Coast Highway and close to the M1. Vicki and her team were fantastic. So friendly and accommodating

Of all the pet friendly motels I have stayed in this place was the best for my fur baby,a lovely big dog mattress for her sleep on,a doggy blanket two pet food bowls,a towel incase any dog accidents and even a small doggy treat for her to eat.
The room was neatly set out an place was clean an tidy,no no road noise an off street parking.
The manager is very friendly and helpful and a big dog lover.
This place is definitely pet friendly an I will be back again with my fur baby.

This pet friendly motel was fabulous!!! My mum & I stayed for one night with my dog on our way driving from Victoria to the Sunshine Coast. Vicki was so friendly & she went the extra mile to make our stay as pleasant as possible by upgrading us to a one bedroom apartment near the grassy area for my dog to explore. The shower was huge, everything was so clean & the care & passion for my dog was wonderful. We felt so comfortable there. Comfy beds & great information on the local area where to eat, activities & beach rules in regards to dogs. Highly recommend you stay here!!! Thank you so much Vicki
