Departing from Runaway Bay, Gold Coast: Short Term Accommodation on South Stradbroke Island!

Beachcomber Charters are now offering Short Term Accommodation staying in a waterfront island home at the beautiful Couran Point, South Stradbroke Island on the Gold Coast.

On these STAs (minimum 2 night stay) our guest/s will board ‘Beachcomber’ from Runaway Bay and travel to Couran Point on South Stradbroke Island (about a half hour boat ride away). We can also provide vehicle transport to Runaway Bay if required from other Gold Coast locations. Our comfortable commercial boat ‘Beachcomber’ is skippered by our qualified Coxswain, Andreas.

Your choice of activities is up to you during your stay from Fishing to Whale Watching, bush walking to relaxed sight-seeing and nature photography – we will do our best to help you achieve your goals.

Our boat’s Captain is not only a passionate fisherman, but he is also a qualified Chef, and at the end of the day can cook the catches up – and teach you these cooking skills if you are interested! We understand and can cater for all food preferences.

Accessibilitywise, ‘Beachcomber’ has front access stairs to enable boat access for our guests from a beachside pickup location for yabby pumping or exploring island beaches. We also have a side access gate for easier transfer from a jetty. Unfortunately we do not have direct wheelchair access. A private marine toilet plus fresh water sink on board makes it easy to enjoy extended days out on the water.

‘Beachcomber Charters’ is a family business. Our crew have had many years managing boutique resorts as well as lived experience with the extended care of family members with both dementia and on the autism spectrum.We combine our love of hosting guests aboard ‘Beachcomber’ and running Island Resorts, with our care experience.

As our guest we will look after you and help you enjoy your time away.We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
