Overview
Billed as 'Australia's first fully integrated tourism resort' Sanctuary Cove is sited on 474 hectares in picturesque surroundings around four man-made harbours on the Coomera River. It is open daily and entry is free. The resort can be reached by road north from Surfer's Paradise or south from Brisbane (exit 57 off of the Pacific motorway) or by water (cruises operate daily). The waterfront Marine Village contains more than 80 speciality stores, cafes and restaurants and visitors can watch glass-blowing and opal cutting. Sanctuary Cove also contains a health and fitness centre, two championship golf courses, a 300-berth marina and a private country club. There are many major events held through the year such as the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show each May, golf tournaments and concerts.
Climate
Straddling the Tropic of Capricorn, Queensland's climate is subtropical. From November to March humidity is generally high throughout the state, but sea breezes bring some relief along the coast. Brisbane in the south has a hot and humid climate, particularly in summer, but winter is mild and sunny with cool nights (July and August). The best time to visit the northern part of the state is from September to November. Tropical cyclones can occur in the north from November to April (mostly during January to March).
