There’s a difference between going on holiday… and actually switching off.
Looking for family accommodation in Burleigh Heads? Enjoy spacious living areas, ocean views and beachfront access at Gemini Court on the Gold Coast.
Most of us don’t realise how tightly wound we are until we step somewhere that lets us breathe properly. The noise fades. The pace slows. The ocean does what the ocean always does, it resets you.
That’s exactly what I felt walking through the 2 and 2.5 bedroom apartments at Gemini Court in Burleigh Heads.
And honestly? The word that kept coming back to me was space.
Not just physical space, mental space and breathing room
The Gold Coast Is Busy – Your Apartment Shouldn’t Be
When people plan a Gold Coast holiday, they often picture beaches, cafés, sunrise walks and family time. What they don’t picture is squeezing into a tight apartment where everyone is stepping over each other.
The 2 bedroom and 2.5 bedroom apartments at Gemini Court are designed differently.
You walk in and immediately notice the open-plan living area. There’s room to move. Room for the kids to spread out with a board game. Room for the adults to sit back with a coffee (or something stronger) and look out toward the Pacific Ocean.
And those views? They don’t compete with railings or heavy frames. The glass balustrades on the balconies make the ocean views pop. It feels uninterrupted. Clean. Almost like the horizon is part of the room.
That makes a difference.
Because when you’re here to Experience Gold Coast, you don’t want to feel boxed in.
So What Is a 2.5 Bedroom Apartment?
Let’s talk honestly.
The “.5” bedroom isn’t a full third bedroom. It’s a smaller room with bunk beds, designed for young children. There’s no built-in storage like you’d find in the main bedrooms.
And that’s actually the beauty of it.
It’s ideal for:
- Families with younger kids
- Parents who want children close by
- Those who need extra sleeping space without committing to a larger apartment
It’s that little bit of flexibility that can change a stay from “tight” to “comfortable.”
Instead of sharing beds or squeezing luggage into corners, everyone has their own zone. Even if it’s just a small one.
For young families visiting Burleigh Heads, it works perfectly.
The Kitchen That Feels Like Home
One of the most overlooked parts of holiday accommodation on the Gold Coast is the kitchen.
A lot of places say “fully equipped kitchen,” but what they really mean is you can boil pasta and hope for the best.
At Gemini Court, the kitchens in the 2 and 2.5 bedroom apartments are family-sized. Proper bench space. Proper appliances. Space to unpack groceries without playing Tetris and with amazing views to make cleaning up, still not feel like a chore.
If you’re staying for more than a weekend, that matters.
Maybe you’ll head out and experience Gold Coast dining spots on James Street. Maybe you’ll grab takeaway and bring it back to the balcony. Or maybe you’ll cook breakfast slowly while the ocean glows in the background.
It gives you options. And options create ease.
Balcony Mornings Hit Different in Burleigh Heads
There’s something about being right on the beachfront in Burleigh Heads.
You wake up. You slide open the doors. The salt air hits. The sound of waves replaces your phone notifications.
With the glass balustrades, the balcony becomes an extension of the living space. The views feel wide and open. Sunrises feel front row.
This is the part that people don’t always factor in when booking Gold Coast accommodation, how much time you’ll actually spend in the apartment.
When the apartment feels good, you stay in more.
When you stay in more, you slow down more.
When you slow down more… That’s when the holiday really begins.

Why Space Is the Real Luxury
Luxury isn’t always marble benches and fancy lighting.
Sometimes luxury is:
- Not feeling cramped
- Having a lounge big enough for everyone
- Letting the kids have their own sleep space
- Sitting quietly on a balcony with nothing but ocean in front of you
The 2 and 2.5 bedroom apartments at Gemini Court give families that extra margin.
And margin is what modern life is missing.
If you’re planning a Gold Coast holiday and travelling with kids, or even another couple, that extra half bedroom might be the thing that makes the entire trip feel easier.
Less friction, Less clutter, More calm.
More Than Accommodation — It’s Your Reset Button
This week I’ve been talking a lot about slowing down. About that feeling when your shoulders drop without you noticing.
After walking through these apartments properly, I get it.
Gemini Court isn’t trying to compete with high-rise chaos or party strips. It’s offering something else.
Space, Views and Breathing room.
A proper base to Experience Gold Coast your way.
And sometimes, that’s exactly what you’ve been missing.
