exploring

It was time for a short break so over Queen’s Birthday weekend we went to South Stradbroke Island which is a small island just off the Gold Coast.
We stayed at Couran Cove the resort on the island. couran.com
The resort was pretty run down, it’s 12 years old & the facilities looked it. When we were there the jet ski’s were out of action, the restaurant closed for refurbishment & the kids pool heater broken! The pool would have been good for CJ & MC but regardless, we had a really great time together riding the farty old bikes around, playing on the beach & picnicking.
I had read reviews of the resort advising people to take their own food so we took lots of yummy food & mostly made our own tasty meals.
Our room, a one bedroom suite, was clean & in good condition.
The beach was gorgeous & the island was just far enough away to feel like we’d had a break but not too far from home to travel.
When we got off the boat we were glad it was just a short drive home.

Being mid Winter it was very quiet which made it lovely for us, & really 20 degrees isn’t really winter like weather!
It was a really great weekend away.
