Gold Coast Waterways

Poised at the gateway to the northern Gold Coast’s abundant waterways, Hope Island is an ocean lover’s playground offering direct access to the very best aspects of that sought-after Queensland coastal lifestyle. Here, residents spend their weekends boating, fishing, swimming, and exploring the waterways, finally cruising home to beautiful waterfront accommodations offering serene and relaxing vibes that last all week long.

Sanctuary Cove

It’s all the dining, shopping, and entertainment you need rolled into one chic destination… and it’s just down the road! From seafood fine-dining mainstay George’s Paragon to the Cove’s best coffee at Bistro 19, resort-chic Cabana boutique to the Vault Skin Lab spa, this luxe resort has it all—plus a golf & country club, marina and MORE. Hello, neighbour!

Brisbane City

When big city lights, business meetings, and after dark diversions come calling, state capital Brisbane is a quick 50-minute scoot up the highway. With such easy access to the big smoke, Hope Island represents a commuters’ dream location, while also over delivering on the serene oasis atmosphere for when the workday is done.

Gold Coast beaches

If you’re not venturing out by boat, the world-class Gold Coast beaches can also be reached by car in less than 30 minutes from your Hope Island front door! From the calm Broadwater to famous Surfers Paradise all the way down to buzzing Burleigh Heads… each stop along the way has its own vibe and crowd, meaning there’s a different experience to be found each and every time you venture south.

Stradbroke Island

Accessible via boat (south) or barge (north), South and North Stradbroke Island (‘Straddie’ for those in the know) offer two distinct adventure experiences for the camping enthusiast. Wild and rugged, South Stradbroke offers predominantly off-grid camping with just a few powered sites along the way. Alternatively, North Stradbroke boasts camping sites and holiday homes aplenty, and is beloved by locals, visitors, and wildlife alike. You can surf and beach-hop to your heart’s content—and don’t miss the spectacular Gorge Walk!

Tambourine Mountain

If you can drag yourself away from the glorious coastline, the hinterland offers a charming respite of its own. Sweet Mount Tambourine lies a short 30-minute drive away and packs in delightful landscapes, F&B, and activities galore, including hot air ballooning, rainforest walks, coffee plantations, waterfalls, markets and more!
