Slow down… relax …. reconnect with loved ones and friends, go for beach walks, eat well & breathe…
Come over Friday, make the most of the weekend


Make dinner reservations at Whales Way Restaurant to unwind on Friday night. Saturday morning, instead of rushing around home packing, you’ll already be here. Take a walk on the beach or around the Gorge Walk before breakfast at Fishes Cafe.
Blue Lake is an area of special significance for Quandamooka people who call it Karboora, meaning ‘deep silent pool’. Walk the 5.2km (return) track to the Lake through Naree Budjong Djara National Park. Afterwards, stop for lunch at Island Fruit Barn in Dunwich, you won’t regret it.

Saturday night drinks, dinner and dancing


After an afternoon of relaxing, take a sunset stroll on Home Beach and then it’s time to party. The Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel Bistro boasts a supreme view, frosty beers or cocktails, a great dinner menu and live music most Saturday nights.
Enjoy a gourmet breakfast at Chiller’s Cafe. The Point Lookout Markets are across the road on alternative Sunday mornings. If the markets aren’t on, walk a little further to Noreen’s Seaside Shop or visit Mintee St at the top of Point Lookout for an array of boutique, island-style shopping.

Before going home visit Amity Point
