 Tips from the Staff on how to get the best from South Straddy               

South Stradbroke Island Resort 

Hold the Mouse over this picture to a see another picture. Click on the picture for a better view.You will soon discover that South Stradbroke Island Resort is a unique destination. It's perfect for a real island holiday, yet is conveniently situated close to Surfers Paradise and the fabulous Gold Coast, Australia's premier tourism destination.

So close in fact, to combine the two destinations gives you the perfect choice - the relaxation and tranquillity of an island holiday, with the opportunity to still visit all the regional attractions. Many of the visitors to the island actually come to get away from the stresses and strains of a typical Gold Coast vacation.  There's no theme parks here.  Instead, we offer a different type of Paradise.

South Stradbroke is one of Australia's rare and unique sand islands. Undeveloped, and with an unspoilt beauty, it boasts a vigorous diversity of flora and fauna, some of which, like the Golden Wallaby (pictured below) are found nowhere else in the world.

Feeding the Wildlife - Hold the Mouse over this picture to a see picture of an Agile Wallaby, very common on the island. Click on the picture for more information about the Wildlife.From the air, the resort is almost undetectable as it nestles into the natural environment. It has been designed to blend harmoniously with it's surroundings and give it's guests an affinity with the delicate balance of the island.

Twenty seconds walk from the resort are the calm and tranquil Western beaches.  Protected by the island from strong currents and ocean waves, the lagoon-like waters are perfect for swimming, fishing, boating, or making use of the many watersports attractions available.  

Offering the best of both worlds, a ten minute walk through tropical bushland will bring you to the Eastern beaches, along which Humpback whales migrate each year.  With world famous surf breaks, mountainous sand dunes, and the spectacular expanse of the Coral Sea, the outlook is truly sensational. 

Dawn over the Coral Sea - Hold the Mouse over this picture to a see picture of the sunset over the eastern side of the island.Dawn and dusk on the island are incredibly spectacular.  It is one of the few places on the East Coast where you can see the sun rise and set over water.  Inspiring wonderment, awe, and even romance, they make a perfect beginning and end to every day spent with us at South Stradbroke Island Resort.
