South Minjerribah/Stradbroke is the quiet and reclusive sister to North Straddie. It’s harder to get to, no paved roads or public transport and very little accommodation. Yet it is home to stunning forests of banksia, paperbark and casuarina, tons of wildlife and one of the longest and quietest surf beaches in South East Qld.
As an introduction to this magical place, Eco Retreats Qld is offering hosted weekends to small groups of 2 to 4 guests only.
The experience will begin with a boat ride to Tipplers landing where your host will meet you.
Embark on a guided walk down the Western coast of the island, with opportunities to swim, study wildlife, sketch and photograph.
Arrive at a rustic off-grid cabin in the Couran Cove banksia forest, where lunch is provided.
After lunch there are options to explore the local area or have relaxing free time at the cabin.
Overnight accommodation and dinner are provided.
Day 2 there is a guided walk to the surf beach followed by a relaxed morning tea.
Your guide will take you back through the islands’ forested interior, to arrive at Tipplers Resort in time for a late lunch; prior to an afternoon boat ride back to Jacob’s Well.
Inclusions:
Lunch and dinner (we offer vegetarian meals; dietary preferences can be accommodated) on day 1, accommodation including linen.
Breakfast and morning tea on day 2.
Guests to provide: snacks for the walks, water bottle, insect repellant and sunscreen, hat and suitable walking/beach clothes.
Guests to arrange transport to and from Tipplers, we suggest the Jacob’s well water taxi to Tipplers landing.
Lunch at Tipplers landing on day 2 is at guest expense.
The dates listed are tentative. Final bookings will be confirmed when the groups book. Cost per person for the 2 day experience is $300. Call or sms 0418729117 for details.
