Flower Delivery Varsity Lakes: Same Day

Back in 2011, when we were running our little home office out of a converted double garage in Pottsville, Andrew got wind of a new cafe that had opened up in Varsity Lakes called Blackboard. He was absolutely mad for it. Two times a week, sometimes more if he could justify it, he would make the drive up just to grab an espresso for himself and a chai tea for me. The place was unlike anything else on the Gold Coast or in Northern NSW at that time. True trailblazers when it came to specialty coffee, before every second shop had a La Marzocco and single origin beans. We still talk about those drives, baby Ivy in the car seat, Andrew insisting the coffee was worth the petrol. Looking back, he was probably right.

> About Lily's Floirst

I mention this because Varsity Lakes has always been on our radar, long before it became the bustling suburb it is today. We have been sending flowers to Varsity Lakes for well over a decade now, and the area holds a genuine place in our story.

How We Get Flowers to Varsity Lakes

When you order flowers through Lily's Florist for delivery to Varsity Lakes, your order goes to one of our partner florists in the Gold Coast region. These are real florists with real shops, people who have trained in floristry and take genuine pride in their craft. Your flowers are not made in a warehouse somewhere, they are not sent overnight through Australia Post in a box. They are made fresh by a local florist and delivered the same day if you order before 2PM on weekdays.

The way it works is pretty simple. Your order comes through to us, we route it to the most suitable partner florist based on the postcode and what they have available that day. If one florist is running low on red roses, for example, we send the order to the next closest florist who can fulfil it properly. It means your flowers arrive fresh and as intended, not some sad substitute because a warehouse ran out of stock.

We Actually Know This Area

Our connection to the Gold Coast region goes beyond that coffee obsession from 2011. Over the last five years, both our girls Asha and Ivy have done numerous netball camps at Bond University. So we know the drive, we know the suburbs, we know where Varsity Lakes sits in relation to Robina, Burleigh, Mudgeeraba and Reedy Creek. We are not some interstate company guessing at postcodes or relying on a map we have never actually driven. We still live in Kingscliff, about 40 minutes south, and the Gold Coast has been part of our lives for nearly two decades now.

Why Order Through Us

Lily's Florist has grown from that one florist shop we bought in Kingscliff back in 2006 to a network of over 800 partner florists across Australia. But national reach means nothing without local expertise and genuine service. We have collected over 22,000 reviews through Feefo, which is an independent review platform that only collects feedback from verified customers. We cannot delete the bad ones, we cannot get our mates to write nice things. It is completely transparent, which honestly scared us when we first signed up. Flowers are subjective, what one person loves another might find too much or not enough, so putting ourselves out there with no control was a risk. But it has been worth it. In 2025 we received a Feefo Trusted Service Award for outstanding customer service, just as we did in 2024.

Flower bouquets start from $54.95 and we offer a range of arrangements from mixed bouquets to roses, native Australian flowers, plants, gift hampers and all the extras like chocolates, teddy bears or a bottle of sparkling if you want to add something special.
