Getaway Ideas

Family Fun Day

Visit Sealink

A day trip the kids will remember.

Barge & Breakfast upstairs at the barge cafe

If you are taking advantage of an early barge, don’t stress about feeding the family – you can enjoy breakfast and coffee at the cafes on the barge. If you have a family of 5, taking the car over on the barge can be economic. Visit the Stradbroke Ferries website to check barge fares and book.

Drive to Point Lookout

20 MINUTES


Gorge Walk

The Gorge Walk is a must do. So take the camera, slip slop slap and be sensible around steep cliff edges, especially with children. Everyone will enjoy Oceanic Gelati & Coffee Bar for a coffee, juice or gelati. Main Beach is patrolled and only a 5 minute walk south from the southern end of the Gorge Walk.

20 MINUTES


Amity Park, Jetty & Swimming Enclosure

Amity Swimming Enclosure offers calm swimming conditions, but the small beach is not patrolled, so be careful. Kids will love a walk along the Amity Point Jetty, but adults should stay close. Dolphins often visit the jetty. Koalas are often seen in the trees in the park too, remember to look up.

Drive to One Mile

20 MINUTES


Lunch at Little Ship Club

There’s outdoor space for the kids and a playground at the Little Ship Club. Generally, the kitchen serves a family-friendly lunch menu from 12n – 2 pm, but check before you arrive.

Drive to Brown Lake

10 MINUTES


Play, Swim or Relax at Brown Lake

The family will love Brown Lake (Bummiera). There is a playground, picnic tables, a walking trail, and calm, fresh, water tinged brown by tea tree leaves. Respect the local wildlife. The Lake is significant to Aboriginal people, and if you visit at a quiet time of day you’ll feel the spirits.

Drive to Golf Club

10 MINUTES


Putt putt, a view & cold drinks at the Golf Club

Before heading home, everyone should enjoy the view from the North Stradbroke Island Golf Club. The friendly staff serve cold drinks on the deck, and the kids always enjoy the mini golf.
