Couran Cove Resort

Couran Cove Resort Update June 2011: Sadly the resort at Couran Cove is not currently operating as a resort facility. We hope that will change in the future, but until then please read this page as information only. No resort bookings can be made at this time.

Couran Cove Resort is a resort with all the activities and facilities you could want for your South Stradbroke Island holiday. Located on the western broadwater side of South Stradbroke Island and based around a man-made marina, it is nestled between the native bush and the magnificent waterway.

Couran Cove Island Resort offers limited daytripping opportunities.  The cost to go for a day is almost the same as staying over - so why not make a break of it so you can really enjoy this top Gold Coast resort. 

There accommodation options suit just about any taste and family group combination you can think of.

Couran Cove Resort offers several food options including a restaurant, cafe, bar and poolside kiosk.  For some pampering try the Day Spa and Rejuvenation Centre, they even have Couples Massage Room.

What I like most about this resort is that it truly is that, a base for your whole holiday you can really relax and enjoy an island resort yet still have access to all the other activities the Gold Coast has to offer.

I highly recommend Couran Cove Resort for couples and families of any age.  It is my favourite resort on South Stradbroke Island because it has everything for a short or long holiday.  I cannot imagine you will be disappointed with the location, accommodation or the food.

There are often excellent packages available, check website for latest specials.  

The best deals I have found as they come directly from Couran Cove Resort and include important things like transfers as well as accommodation.
