Until a few years ago, the heart of the Burleigh community, James Street,
was mainly a strip of chemists, banks and hairdressing salons. In recent times, though, the former fishing village, about 13 kilometres north of Gold Coast Airport, has evolved from a touristy coastal hub offering kitsch souvenirs and fish and chips to a hip little enclave.
In fact, Burleigh Heads has been hailed as ‘the new Byron’ in that it has pristine beaches, a surf culture, fabulous dining, eclectic markets and a laid-back charm.
And it looks set to stay that way. “There are so many individual shop and land owners at Burleigh, it can never be built out, so you are going to have that village feel
Burleigh may be just a stone’s throw from the glitz and glam of Surfers Paradise, but its village-like atmosphere makes it feel a world away. Welcome to the new Byron Bay.

forever,” says restaurateur Simon Gloftis, the man behind establishments such as The Fish House and Greek eatery Hellenika. “There’s the beach, the beautiful houses on the hill, and the James Street precinct at the bottom, with boutique clothing, cool cafes, organic stores and restaurants. How many suburbs have that sort of mix?”
EATThe early risers start their day with a walk along the esplanade or a surf at iconic Burleigh Point. Keep the morning buzz ticking with breakfast at the excellent The Paddock Bakery. Tucked in a backstreet on the border of Burleigh and neighbouring Miami, it is one of the Gold Coast’s hidden gems.
After a long, painstaking renovation on an 80-year-old weatherboard beach cottage, Paddock was reborn with gardens, a vegetable patch and charming recycled and

The organic sourdough straight from the wood-fired oven is a specialty but you could easily spend a weekend eating your way through the menu.

IT’S a gloriously sunny Saturday afternoon and the bunch of chic 20-somethings is all shopped out. They
have bags from Scanlan Theodore, Chanel, Michael Kors, Sephora, H&M and Sneakerboy, and now they’re making the seemingly tough decision as to which hip restaurant – rooftop or garden bar, apparently – they should go for cocktails and a late lunch. This is not a scene from Australian fashion capitals Sydney or Melbourne, but Queensland’s Gold Coast.
Not so long ago, the Gold Coast was best known for its theme parks, beaches and the Surfers Paradise glitter strip, but the city has

transformed into an exciting, creative and entrepreneurial mecca. With the Gold Coast gearing up for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, upmarket eateries, fine-dining restaurants, designer markets and cool pop-up bars opening every week, and premium global brands opening their doors in the city, the ‘Goldie’, as locals affectionately call it, has grown up.

Testimonials“TVM was where I first started Kivari, selling small leather bohemian styled leather wallets and bags. TVM allowed me to showcase my
dreams and passions to the target market which in return rapidly grew my business. In 2015 we opened a Boutique in Freshwater located on
Sydney’s Northern Beaches & Kivari is now stocked in more than 100 retail outlets world wide. TVM was a vital stepping stone to where I am
now and needless to say I have definitely never looked back.
It’s an amazing platform run by two exceptionally talented, organised and professional ladies (Sarah & Marissa)
I can’t thank you both enough for starting what I consider the best designer market in Australia!”
Kirstin Keysers, KIVARI.
“TVM has been vital for the growth of my boutique swimwear brand. In the initial stages, it allowed me to present my designs to the local
market where people could come into my stall, touch the swimwear, see the prints, feel the luxurious fabrics and absorb the overall vibe of
the brand. As a predominantly online label, my TVM stall brings peony to life and gives me the opportunity to engage with my customers on
a personal level. Unlike a lot of other markets, TVM provides an authentic local market experience that is unparalleled. I sold my first bikini at
TVM in December of 2012 and since then peony has been invited to show its SS13 collection at at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival and has
been featured in Vogue Australia’s “What you will be wearing this summer”. TVM truly is a fantastic platform for any creative brand. I couldn’t
recommend it highly enough.”
Becky Jack - peony Swimwear
“The Village Markets have become such an iconic event on the Gold Coast. I remember going to the first events years ago and now they are
an amazing marketplace for start-up fashion designers and for established brands that need a great venue for pop-up sales. I couldn’t think of
a better event in Queensland for being able to sell direct to fashion-focused customers.”
Sharona Harris, F+H Jewellery
“Sarah and Marissa run a tight ship! The Village Markets is one of the most professional, well organised, and smoothly run Markets I have had
the pleasure to frequent as a stall holder.
My business has definitely benefited greatly by being part of the TVM family. Sarah and Marissa have created the most beautiful market
community through their tireless creativity and talent in promotion and marketing. The online systems for stallholders are second to none.
Everything has been taking care of down to the last detail and the girls are always ready with a smile to help.
With 11 years of markets under my belt, i am very grateful they make the complete experience so easy and enjoyable.”
Kate Hemensley, BandiKoot Byron Bay
TVM and the sense of community you have created within it is priceless, we love and appreciate being apart of it.
For us TVM is not just about selling stuff, it’s the support we get from the other stall holders, the friendships we’ve made, the vibe of market
day, the opportunity to collaborate with like minds. You should be so proud of what you’ve created.”
Jacqueline Duemmer, Au Fait
“Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your local market. What an event it was too! You have something quite unique and like no other
going on up in Burleigh, show casing some unbelievable talent! The login portal for stall holders was very informative and perfect, everything
was covered, if anything you over prepared me (including the last minute dash for Ant Rid), conditions, maps, directions and advice on the
retail market. I was interviewed and posted on the village markets website, bringing extra traffic and interest to my stall, I was motivated to
put on a show for the Best Looking Stall Award. What made the interstate drive so worth while was every ounce of effort I made was matched
by The Village Markets team. Nothing went overlooked. I have been following TVM as my passion for markets and growing my business is
important, the stores show cased on social media were design talent I could relate to I took the risk, that paid off, instantly expanding my
brand, growing my database and following. I thank TVM for the contributing effort and help and I look forward to working with the team soon.”
Libby Watkins - Sydney based Artist
“Jewellery by Kim (JBK) has been with The Village Markets pretty much from the beginning. It is an amazing market with emerging designers
being able to showcase their creations in the best possible way. JBK would not be as popular without TVM, people who love my creations
keep on coming back not only to see me but to also enjoy the atmosphere that is The Village Markets.”
