This resort on the isle's northwestern side has waterside rooms on stilts, eco-cabins set in bushland, a private marina and a lap pool. There are plenty of family-friendly activities on offer, including SUP board and bike hire, guided nature walks and a VR games room. Some of the decor is due for a refurb. Rates are reduced considerably if you stay three or more nights.
Prebooked water taxi transfers (return adult/child $38/18; 40 minutes) depart from Hope Harbour Marina, a 30-minute drive north from Surfers Paradise.
