Guest reviews for Couran Cove Island Resort
Great location and lots to do, but the children's play equipment was a bit dated. Our shower also sprayed every direction except down and a few lights in our cabin did not work. But otherwise it was fully furnished with everything we needed.

Thanks for taking the time to review your recent stay. We are pleased you thought it was a great location and there was lots to do. We will send maintenance to deal with the lights and shower - thanks for letting us know. Hope to see you back again soon.
Very pleasant couple of days. Ferry’s on time, staff friendly and helpful. Lovely walks and plenty of different spots to have a coffee/drink. Great variety of bird life and fun to live among the wallabies. I’d recommend this as a winter break as it’s peaceful and very picturesque.

Hi Jen, Thanks for reviewing Couran Cove. I am pleased you found you stay pleasant & peaceful. Thanks for recommending us.
Restaurant was disappointing. Booked for 6.30. Service was very slow.
Problems with orders. Confusion over order at counter or table service.
Rest of stay was good.

Beautiful location
When we arrived at the hotel we were sent the LONG way to an interconnected room (not what we’d booked). When I rang (No room phones! What happens in an emergency?) reception and explained what I’d booked they offered to move us and told me they were sending someone now. 40 minutes later we rang again to ask what was happening we were moved to a lodge ( this was what I had booked) with broken blinds and a broken toilet seat. The kitchen description on wotif says full kitchen, it’s not. There is no oven. It’s such a beautiful location, but I felt there were a lot of maintenance issues that needed attention. Staff were friendly. The native animals were beautiful.

Terrible
I could not find the hotel as map had me driving in a b o.o at harbor. Only eat to hotel
is by boat. I phoned hotel and was told last boat was at 3pm, so They would not check me in. I was stranded. They still have not refunded me my money. Shame on Wotif for recommending this hotel.

When we arrived the hotel room, no house keeping had done. Disappointed. We moved the other room. Heaps of birds poo around room entrance. No tissue paper in my room, too small sheets for sofa bed. No snorkeling place.
