About this space

Set inside a reimagined mechanic’s workshop in the heart of Mermaid Beach, The Borrowed Nursery is a Gold Coast favourite for shoots that call for something raw, green, and effortlessly cool. This 270sqm studio brings together industrial character and organic softness, pairing whitewashed brick, concrete textures, and curated plant life into one highly flexible creative space.

The open-plan layout is grounded by a worn concrete floor laced with soft turquoise undertones, while crisp white brick walls bounce natural light throughout the space. This neutral, light-filled palette allows both people and product to take centre stage—ideal for fashion campaigns, lifestyle shoots, lookbooks, brand content, or wellness editorials.

Every corner of the space is thoughtfully styled with an abundance of plants—The Borrowed Nursery’s signature—creating a rich, layered backdrop that feels lush without overpowering your frame. Whether you’re capturing movement, still life, or texture-focused work, the interplay of greenery and architectural edge gives photographers and stylists room to create with confidence.

Located just 650 metres from Broadbeach South Station and surrounded by top accommodation and attractions, this shoot space is as convenient as it is inspiring. Pacific Fair, The Star Gold Coast, and the Convention Centre are all within walking distance, making The Borrowed Nursery an ideal base for full production days.

With capacity for up to 20 guests and a minimum four-hour hire, this Gold Coast shoot location offers the scale, access, and atmosphere to elevate any visual project. Whether you’re shooting editorial fashion or running a workshop with creative clients, The Borrowed Nursery delivers a backdrop that feels both grounded and alive.
