Couran Cove Island Resort

With the summer holidays coming to an end, now is the perfect time to get some well deserved R&R. Couran Cove Island Resort is offering a Summer Night�s package to unite families and couples for fun filled days and lazy summer nights.

At Couran Cove Island Resort, nature and culture blend harmoniously to create a truly Australian-styled resort. A beautiful location, excellent food and drink and an unrivalled list of sporting activities make the island an ideal location to create lasting summer holiday memories.

Thrill seekers and adventure experience enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with the resort�s wide range of tours and activities - many free of charge - from water sports to running tracks, tennis courts and two swimming pools.

For those seeking a quieter pace, lawn-bowls facilities, an 18 hole putt-putt course and shuffleboard courts can be enjoyed at leisure.

Couran Cove also offers outdoor activities with an educational slant, which give kids the opportunity to get up close and personal with the island�s native wildlife and resident reptile collection. The whole family can learn about the island�s aboriginal culture and dreamtime artifacts located around the resort on the Alcheringa Trail self guided walk tour.

Bush walks and cycling trails in the many rainforest tracks offer further incentive to explore the natural world on land, Younger kids, from age three upwards, are catered for at the resort�s Kites Kids Club.

With the kids happily entertained, parents can relax at the luxurious Day Spa (the couples� room is very popular) or simply kick back and enjoy a relaxing picnic on their own private patch of the resort�s 22 kilometre stretch of beach.

Shevaun O�Callaghan and her family particularly enjoyed the various family activities Couran Cove offered during their stays over the years.

�It was such a great experience for us to try new things as a family. The girls talked so much about the first trip that we�ve been back again and always come home with great memories,� Shevaun said.

�Exploring the rest of the Gold Coast was so easy having regular ferry transfers to the mainland, but at the end of the day, going back to the peacefulness of the island made us realise how special the resort truly is,� she said.

Couran Cove Island Resort is also a great base from which to explore the Gold Coast. Only a 40 minute ferry ride from the Gold Coast's dazzling attractions - world famous theme parks, outlet brand shopping and the casino. Whether it�s shopping on the mainland or island activities, the resort�s activities and tour desk is open daily and can organise anything from helicopter rides to snorkeling and fishing.

After a day of excitement or blissful relaxation the family can retreat to a spacious marine suite which has uninterrupted views over the water.
