The Gold Coast is home to the best and most well known theme parks in Australia. From Marine Life to Movie Making, the theme parks on the Gold Coast offer something for everyone.  When you stay at Carrington Court we can arrange your tickets and coach transfers to all of the theme parks. More information on the theme parks, including brochures, is available from our reception area. Just ask Eddie or Tracey to help you with your selections and bookings.

We are located at Main Beach which is a unique village nestled between the sparkling blue waters of the Southport Broadwater and the magnificent Pacific Ocean. Only minutes north of the heart of Surfers Paradise, Main Beach is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.  Tedder Avenue at Main Beach is a vibrant dining precinct with a cosmopolitan feel offering a chic, yet relaxed atmosphere, day or night. With menus catering for every budget and taste, sample the exciting range of cuisine including Asian, Mediterranean and innovative modern Australian style dishes.

Why not settle back and watch the world go by from one of the many trendy wine bars or browse in the trendy boutiques and speciality stores?

To the north of Main Beach Marina Mirage and Mariner's Cove have a wide mix of restaurants. Most bars and restaurants overlook the Southport Broadwater, a magical sight - day or night - with multi-million dollar boats and wheeling seagulls.  Marina Mirage is an elegant shopping precinct where art lovers can indulge their passion with fine art galleries and enjoy designer boutique and waterfront dining within the two level shopping complex.

When the sun goes down on the Gold Coast, the night life revs into top gear! No matter what sort of entertainment you feel in the mood for, there's bound to be something for everyone.  Just a short distance from Carrington Court will find you in the heart of the night time action!

The Gold Coast has many adventure activities for adrenalin junkies and for those of us who want to try something different.  Enjoy a multitude of water sports, or head to the 'green behind the gold', our hinterland where you will find idyllic scenery, wineries, and boutique arts and crafts.  Ask us about tours and activities!
