Getting to Broadwater from the airport
There is no direct public transport from Gold Coast Airport to Broadwater. The alternatives are a train and coach combination through Casino or Grafton, which takes several hours and still leaves you needing a lift at the end, or driving yourself. For most travellers arriving on a flight the practical choice is a private transfer straight to the door.
The run is the M1 south to Ballina, then the Pacific Highway through Wardell. It is an easy drive in daylight and a dark one at night, which is the main reason people book rather than hire a car on arrival.
