What is the easiest public-transport route from Brisbane to the Gold Coast?

I am starting in Brisbane and want to reach accommodation on the Gold Coast without a car. How should I plan the train and final connection?

    Use Translink’s journey planner for your actual Brisbane starting point and Gold Coast address. Trains reach Gold Coast rail stations, and the G:link tram connects at Helensvale for many coastal destinations. If you are starting at Brisbane Airport, check Airtrain’s separate fare and timetable; leave time for the final tram, bus or walk to your accommodation.
