South Stradbroke Island Resort Gold Coast Australia

South Stradbroke Island Resort formerly known as Tipplers Island Resort

Tipplers Welcome Sign

South Stradbroke Island Resort was formerly known as Tipplers Resort. It is a popular location for visitors, day trippers and weddings.

Local boaties or holidaymakers on the houseboats use the sheltered broadwater bay area to anchor up and then use their tenders to come in to the bar, shop and cafe/restaurant.

The resort is nestled amongst the native bush on the broadwater side, which provides a sheltered beach good for water sports and swimming.

Best Time to Visit Gold Coast

It was obviously a top resort in its day. It has however become a little shabby and personally I would rate it aesthetically as a 3 star.

Accommodation is in timber islander style cabins or bure, with their own bathrooms and tea and coffee making facilities. There is a strict rule about bringing your own food or alcohol into the resort - so you are captive to the resort for eating and drinking.

Nonetheless it is a great location and will suit the budget minded island resort seekers.
