it's walking distance from the townhouse. Services great Japanese beer, reasonably priced food and you can usually get a seat. Not flash but the food makes up for it. Staffed I think by language students who do a great job. You will find it at the end of the arcade on Thomas Drive

If you have a car then Coolangatta and Kirra are great plays for a drive. There is a whole different world three streets away from the airport. If you drive through Kirra you will reach the NSW border. There is a lookout and a great coffee shop. That whole part of the coast is picturesque with lots of quaint spots to hangout in.
