## Main Beach, _quietly_ so.

The quiet end
of the Gold Coast.

Main Beach is the suburb locals move to when they want the coast without the crowds. Leafy, residential, walkable. Tedder Avenue is its heart, a single short strip of independent restaurants, cafés, a bakery and wine bars.

Surfers Paradise is close enough for a night out. Far enough not to hear it.

*Tedder Avenue* at one end of the street. *Surf and sand* at the other.

### Five places to eat on Tedder Avenue, a five-minute walk away

From the back gate it's a five-minute walk to the heart of Tedder. Here are the five spots we send guests to, in the order of the day you'd actually work through them.

### Six beaches within an hour of Main Beach

Two waters at the front door – the Pacific across the road, the river at the back. The rest of the coast sits inside an hour. Here's where locals actually go.

### Winter on the Gold Coast from Main Beach

June through August is the Gold Coast's quiet season, and the one Contessa is built for. A large indoor heated pool, an indoor spa and sauna, dry winter light, whales offshore, and the largest events on the Coast calendar.

## From our guests

> Contessa has been the best place we have stayed at on the Gold Coast. The apartment was meticulous and modern, as was the rest of the building. A truly sophisticated building, with grounds and facilities to match. A truly top-notch building, and hopefully we can buy an apartment there soon.

> – Stephanee

> We have stayed at a variety of properties at Main Beach over the last 15 years. Contessa is the only place to which we have returned to stay again and again. The accommodation has always been clean, well-furnished, and well cared for by friendly staff. The location could not be better, next to a quiet river but a quick stroll to the beach or a variety of restaurants on Tedder Avenue.

> – Alison D.

> One of the most enjoyable weeks we have experienced on the Gold Coast. The manager, residents in the apartments, facilities and location are the best we have experienced on the Gold Coast. The presentation of the whole apartment building, common areas, gardens, and other facilities are a credit to management.

> Lovely apartment building in a great location close to the beach and Tedder Avenue restaurants. Kind and friendly staff, friendly people who live in the building. The pools and spas are great, as are the lawns and gardens. Access to the canal at the back was a bonus.

> – Ingrid

> This is our fourth time holidaying at Contessa. Each time seems to get better and better. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to so many wonderful eateries, the light rail and buses. The complex has a huge outdoor pool and a large spa and magnificent gardens, a great spot for the kids to play, as well as a tennis court. The beach is only a stroll away.

> A truly great holiday stay. Very spacious, clean and comfortable apartment. The location of Contessa is excellent. Accessible to the beach, highway and Tedder Avenue, but a very quiet and secluded location. The spa, pool and sauna were excellent. We had the perfect stay.
