Rustic Roo Inn — where the coast meets the casino

A five-star resort tower above Broadbeach: signature suites, private gaming salons, a chef-led counter and a rooftop pool that ends in the horizon. The Gold Coast's most complete night — and morning — in a single address.

The Floor

Two levels of gaming, from the main floor to the private salon

1,600 machines, 80 tables, nightly learn-to-play sessions and a mezzanine VIP salon with dedicated croupiers — all under one sculptural ceiling.

The Rooftop

An infinity edge that ends in the sunset

Seven floors up, a 35-metre heated edge, eight private cabanas and a golden-hour ritual that runs every evening the sky cooperates.

The Grand Casino Floor

Two levels beneath a sculptural ceiling — 1,600 machines, 80 tables, a dedicated poker room and the mezzanine VIP salon. Open around the clock, staffed by a floor team that treats hospitality as the house edge.

Table games

Blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps and pai gow — minimums from $5 on the main floor.

Poker room

Dedicated room with nightly cash games and a June tournament week that draws the state's best.

Learn to play

Free sessions nightly at 7pm — a patient croupier, twenty minutes, and the floor makes sense.

Dining

The Gastronomic Atelier

Executive Chef Mara Ellison's kitchen runs on Queensland produce — reef fish, Darling Downs beef, rooftop herbs — served at a ten-seat counter, a dining room, and a chef's table inside the kitchen itself.

Mara Ellison

Executive Chef — two-hatted

"The counter is the honest version of a restaurant — you watch us work, and the food has to earn it every night."

Twelve courses at the marble pass, $285 per guest, pairings from $165. Seats release monthly — the first, at 9am sharp.

The same kitchen, a looser format — entrées from $24, mains from $44, the cellar's full depth by the glass or bottle.

Oysters, champagne, steak frites until 1am — the post-floor ritual that locals book ahead for.

Wellness

The Wellness Sanctuary

A below-ground thermal floor — hammam, Finnish sauna, salt grotto, plunge pools — sequenced by hydrotherapists into a two-hour contrast ritual. Included with every suite stay.

42°C · warm steam

Eucalyptus-infused steam on heated stone — the opening act of the contrast circuit. Fifteen to twenty minutes.

90°C · dry heat

Traditional Finnish heat with löyly on the hour — the deep phase of the circuit, always followed by cold.

8°C · cold plunge

Three seconds counts. The plunge is a dose, not a dare — and the reason guests sleep like the tide.

Golden hour

Time until tonight's golden hour on the rooftop — the daily ritual when the sun drops into the infinity edge and the spritz list goes live.

Heritage

A tower built on the coast's story

From a surf-side pub to Queensland's casino address — the Broadbeach site has been the suburb's meeting point for six decades.

1968

The Broadbeach Inn opens

A modest surf-side hotel at the corner of Casino Drive — the suburb's first real meeting place.

1985

The casino era begins

The site becomes home to the coast's first gaming floor — and the strip starts its transformation.

2017

The tower rises

The current tower completes — 214 suites, the rooftop horizon pool, and the mezzanine salon.

Today

Rustic Roo Inn

The resort enters its current chapter — the same address, a finer expression of it.

Historical facade
"We didn't build on the site — we inherited a meeting place and gave it better chairs."

— Restoration architect, 2017

The Cellar

The Private Cellar

Beneath the lobby, a working cellar holds 1,400 labels at 14°C and 70% humidity — Australian icons, Burgundy depth, and a reserve shelf that never makes the list.

  • Climate-held at 14°C, monitored hourly
  • Daily guided flights, 5pm and 7:30pm
  • Private cellar dinners to ten guests
