Just across the Broadwater from the Gold Coast in Queensland is South Stradbroke Island, one of only 15 sand based islands in the world, and home to Couran Cove Resort.

This island getaway is made up of 1,800 acres of conservation park, so you know you’re walking into pristine nature.

And it's one of the few places on the East Coast of Australia where you can see the sun rise in the east of the island and set on the west.

"room was lovely and clean, amenities are good, arcade needs a little bit of a revamp due to damage from patrons but still fun on rainy days. The lifts were half working during our stay due to them being swapped out due to age and parts availability which slowed down getting in and out of the hotel, but this can't be helped and will be better in the long run for future stays. The hotel is in a great location for everything and a short walk to the beach which you can see from the balcony."
