Departing Coolangatta on the Gold Coast Highway, follow the signs to merge onto the M1 Pacific Motorway heading south. SOMA is nestled in the beautiful hinterland to the west of the motorway. Conversely, you can fly into Ballina airport and arrange transport for the 30 minute drive north on the Pacific Motorway to SOMA.
