Ouch - it’s been about a year or so since I was last there, but that was about 1hr 45m to hotel at Broadbeach from BNE airport car rental pick up; seems I was quite lucky!

Depends on day, time of day, weather, and rubber neckers. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
 
Well booking the Wharney hotel in Wan Chai was a mistake - chose it from the QFH options for the area as it was convenient to where I wanted to go - but my room was on the back of the hotel - which is where a back street full of dusk to dawn night clubs are - even though I was on the 9th floor, sleep was damn near impossible. Fitting the shower and toilet into a 1.6 x 1.6 metre bathroom was ridiculous.

Done that several times, usually about 6 pm, BNE (DOM and INT) to Surfers. Never noticed any extreme holdups apart from roadworks, which seem to be perennial. Takes just over an hour. My peeve would be Broadbeach to Burleigh Heads, which can take a long time, because of roadworks or is it tramworks, even at 7:00 am.
