Hollywell suburb profile

Hollywell is a small coastal suburb on the Gold Coast, tucked along the Broadwater between Runaway Bay and Labrador. It has a quiet, low-density residential feel with many homes enjoying water access and leafy streets that suit a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. Residents are often families and retirees who value boating, fishing and the foreshore parks, while local reserves and waterfront pathways shape everyday life. Housing is largely single-level houses and waterfront dwellings on generous blocks, with a neighbourhood scale rather than high density. Practical links to nearby shopping centres and the coast make it easy to reach broader Gold Coast services.
