Gold Coast Cheap?

Hey guys,
I come to Bondi as you all know for 3 weeks, but sadly the trip is coming to a end of the 1st of December. I have checked out the prices to extend until the 3rd of January and its not that bad considering its over xmas.
Now question is, I need some ideas for places to stay in the gold coast, Preferably very very close to a break, but not 10ft reef breaks
. Something nice mellow and beginner friendly and CHEAP. \
Does anyone have any suggestions?
