Supercoach Craig Bellamy has made a huge $3.6m play in the wake of Melbourne Storm’s devastating NRL Grand Final loss, that could be a pointer to where his future lies.
Craig Bellamy, the three-time Melbourne Storm NRL premiership-winning coach, has settled his luxury off the plan apartment purchase on the southern end of the Gold Coast.
Bellamy and wife Wendy have bought an apartment at Coolangatta in the Rockpool Rainbow Bay complex for $3.55m.
The near 250 sqm apartment is in the 12-floor apartment block by architect-turned-developer Joe Adsett.

Their ninth floor purchase was in late 2021, but the settlement comes at the same time as reports the Gold Coast Titans could seek him to be part of their coaching staff at some time in the future. And in the wake of the Storm’s devastating 2025 NRL Grand Final loss to Brisbane Broncos.
With just 21 apartments, Rockpool has attracted a who’s who of buyers, including The Block interior designer Shelley Craft and her real estate husband Christian Sergiacomi, who bought on the eighth floor for $3,630,748.

Comedian Celeste Barber and her husband Api Robin spent $3,778,206.
Surf loving coastal Sydney estate agent Jason Boon and wife Melinda bought for $3,921,489.
The Bellamys have long had a penchant for Coolangatta property.
They recently sold their longest held Coolie investment, a one-bedroom apartment at the top of the Calypso Plaza Resort that cost them just $190,000 in 2002. It fetched $675,000.

The couple retain two investments in the precinct, a two-bedroom apartment that cost $540,000 in 2010, and a house that cost $1.45m in 2021.
While Bellamy is in a buying mood, the 2025 Brisbane Broncos premiership coach Michael Maguire has snappily sold a Queensland investment property.
Maguire and wife Joelle, who retain a Maroubra apartment bought as an investment, have offloaded a townhouse in Bracken Ridge in Brisbane’s north.

The four-bedroom townhouse was bought new in 2020 for $494,000.
The Maguires spent nearly $4m on a six-bedroom home in Ashgrove late last year, while retaining three Brisbane investment properties accumulated since 2018.
They own a Maroochy River, Sunshine Coast investment property that was put up for $850 a week rental last month.
