Where Is Tallai — And Why Is It So Sought After
Where Is Tallai — And Why Is It So Sought After?
Tallai is perched in the Gold Coast hinterland just west of Mudgeeraba, commanding stunning ocean views, whisper-quiet privacy, and access to large, luxury homes on acreage lots.
It’s where executives retreat, entertainers build, and lifestyle-focused families relocate. In 2025, Tallai remains tightly held — and for good reason:
Close enough to reach the M1 in 12 minutes
High enough to enjoy sweeping views of Broadbeach and Burleigh
Removed enough to maintain complete lifestyle discretion
What Sets Tallai Apart?
✔️ Minimum 4,000m² block sizes
✔️ Elevated ridgelines = rare views
✔️ No high-density encroachment
✔️ Access to elite schools (Somerset, All Saints)
✔️ Wide variety of architectural styles
✔️ One of the Gold Coast’s highest average price points per m² for residential acreage
