Why Investors Choose Oceana on Broadbeach

Beachfront apartments in this location have consistently delivered above-average returns relative to broader Gold Coast unit markets.

Absolute Beachfront Scarcity

Only a handful of buildings sit directly on the beach at Broadbeach. This scarcity creates a floor under prices that suburban apartments cannot match. Beachfront stock at 100 Old Burleigh Road cannot be replicated.

Strong Capital Growth Track Record

Sales data from 1995 onward shows consistent long-term price appreciation. Units that sold for $340K–$440K in 1995–1997 now regularly transact above $1.1M — a multi-decade compounding return.

Short-Term Rental Demand

Broadbeach is one of Australia's top holiday destinations. Oceana units command premium short-term rental rates, with peak-season occupancy exceeding 85% for well-managed apartments.

Low Strata Fees, High Quality

Well-maintained building with regular upgrades to facilities. Strata levies are competitive for a building of this quality. The body corporate is actively managed.

International Buyer Demand

Broadbeach attracts significant interest from interstate and international buyers — particularly from NZ, UK, and Southeast Asia — providing a deep buyer pool when you exit the investment.

Owner-Occupier Stability

A mix of owner-occupiers, long-term investors and short-stay operators keeps the building stable and well-maintained. Owner-occupiers vote for quality, which protects asset values.

Investor FAQ

Gross rental yields typically range from 4% to 6% depending on the unit size, floor level, and whether you opt for short-term or long-term rental. One-bedroom units on higher floors with ocean views tend to achieve the highest short-term rental rates relative to purchase price. Long-term rental of a 2-bedroom currently achieves $950–$1,300/week.

Yes. Broadbeach is one of Australia's most consistently popular holiday destinations, with strong demand year-round and peak occupancy during summer, school holidays, and major Gold Coast events (Commonwealth Games legacy, concerts, racing carnival). Many owners in Oceana operate short-term through agents such as RACV, Mantra, or independent management companies.

Based on our 30-year dataset, units that sold for $340K–$440K in 1995–1997 now regularly achieve $1.1M–$1.5M+ for comparable bedrooms and floors. That represents approximately 200–300% total growth over three decades. Recent years (2020–2025) saw accelerated appreciation driven by post-COVID lifestyle migration and interstate buyer demand.

Oceana on Broadbeach body corporate by-laws permit short-term rental. However, we recommend confirming the current by-laws directly with the body corporate manager before purchase, as regulations can change. The current Queensland legislation (Accommodation Module) governs strata short-term letting rights.

Body corporate levies vary by unit size and lot entitlement. As an indicative guide, owners of a 2-bedroom unit can expect quarterly levies in the range of $2,500–$4,000 for administration and sinking funds combined. A full financial report is available via pre-purchase disclosure. Always factor levies into your net yield calculation.
