Our stay at the resort was a mix of great views and disappointing service. The lodge we stayed in had an awesome view of the lagoon, and the wildlife around was a delightful bonus. However, the facilities felt a bit run-down, and there was a lack of communication throughout our stay. Dining options were good but limited at times, which made meal planning a bit challenging.

Our stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and comfortable for our family, but the service was a bit disorganized, leading to some frustrating moments. The location was beautiful with lovely views, but the dining options left much to be desired, especially breakfast. Overall, it was a decent stay but not without its challenges.

Rooms

The apartment was spacious with a great kitchen and allowed our kids to use the pull-out sofas comfortably. However, it wasn't serviced during our five-day stay, which resulted in a layer of sand and muck accumulating on the floors.
Service

The staff was generally friendly, but they often seemed flustered and overwhelmed, likely due to a lack of personnel. While they acknowledged our concerns, the response time was not what we expected.

Couran Cove has a stunning natural setting, surrounded by river, forest, and ocean, which is truly unique. While the room we stayed in was spacious and had a lovely balcony overlooking the cove, the overall maintenance of the resort was disappointing, with many facilities in dire need of repair. The dining options were limited and overpriced for the quality provided. If you're looking for a quiet getaway and don't mind rough edges, it might still be worth considering.

Overall, my visit had its ups and downs. The resort felt a bit rundown and isolated, with limited activities and a lack of maintenance in various areas. However, I enjoyed family biking and the pool really stood out as a highlight. Dining at the Marlin restaurant was a pleasant experience, although some service aspects left much to be desired.

The resort had its ups and downs. While the location on Stradbroke Island offered beautiful natural surroundings and plenty of activities, the room conditions left much to be desired. The dining options were a highlight, but the service felt lacking, especially during check-in. Overall, it’s a decent spot for families seeking outdoor fun, but some improvements are definitely needed.
