House of Pickle is a pickleball venue first — the group runs Darling Harbour, Port Melbourne and Albion Park — and the padel court at Currumbin is a single court bolted on to three indoor pickleball courts. That sounds like a footnote until it rains, or until it is 35 degrees at four in the afternoon, at which point it is the only padel court on the Gold Coast with a roof over it. Until Arundel opens in December, that is a real distinction.

One court means it books out. If you want a regular slot, book the week ahead; the Open Play format is the easier way in if you do not have a four.
Tweed Heads, Kingscliff and the Northern Rivers
We searched for anything over the border — open, opening or announced — and found nothing public in Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Murwillumbah, Ballina, Lismore or Byron Bay. The Byron hinterland has three private residential courts, built by a court company for homeowners, which are not bookable. Tribe has a Byron Bay club announced with no site or date. For everyone from Tweed to Byron, Currumbin Waters is the nearest court, then Robina and Carrara twenty minutes further north.
The next padel south of here is The Town Padel at Coffs Harbour, about three and a half hours down the Pacific Highway.
Coming to the southern Gold Coast
PadlX Burleigh Heads — four outdoor courts at 80 Kortum Drive, opening November 2026 — is fifteen minutes north of Currumbin and will be the first multi-court venue south of Robina. Nothing else is announced for the southern coast.
Where else to play from here
