Coomera Houseboats
Be the captain of your own adventure onboard a private houseboat with Coomera Houseboats, cruising the idyllic South Queensland waterways of the Gold Coast and lower Moreton Bay. Whether you prefer to seek out hidden islands and anchor at a number of selected spots within the cruising grounds or unwind in the rooftop spa, a houseboat offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy unparalleled freedom, adventure and a deliciously slow pace of life on this self-contained haven, where you can take in the tranquil beauty of Queensland’s glistening waterways with the occasional flick of a wheel.
Coomera Houseboat is located just behind Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, and the cruising area stretches from the bottom of MacLeay Island in the north to the northern end of Wavebreak Island in the south. Coomera Houseboat is approximately a 40-minute drive from Gold Coast Airport (OOL). Transfers are not included, please plan accordingly.

The Houseboat – Cruise in style with all the comforts of a self-contained apartment
Glide gently downstream with up to 11 other guests, waking up to the cacophony of birdlife and stunning Gold Coast landscapes with Coomera Houseboats – a truly special voyage.
Sail one of the largest, safest and most beautiful cruising areas in Australia along South Queensland’s tranquil waterways – with plenty of sights and experiences nearby to keep everyone entertained. Located just behind Dreamworld in the Gold Coast, these houseboats invite you to anchor wherever you wish within the designated cruising grounds (with hundreds of spots to choose from), then step onto land to spend the day splashing along the beachfront, tackling picturesque bushwalking trails or chasing fun at one the Gold Coast’s famed theme parks.
Fishing enthusiasts will love trying to catch the myriad of fish and crab varieties that inhabit the waterways – with plenty of opportunities to catch a bite for dinner, or a catch and release just for fun off the rear of the boat, and all vessels come with crab pots for you to cook up a feast. Another unmissable spot to visit during your stay is Stradbroke Island – one of 360 islands within Moreton Bay, with access to stunning sand dunes, as well as unique flora and fauna. Drop anchor off the island and use your included dinghy to get to shore and soak up jaw-dropping views or even watch the sunset from the beach. Enjoy a light lunch at Tipplers Licensed Café or tumble down the dunes at Slipping Sands.
Away from the thrills, the serene waters are the ideal place to rest and recharge. All you need to do is choose your vessel and away you go. From Wave Break Island to Macleay Island, you can cruise a serene 50 kilometre stretch in your choice of Blue Sky Spa, Aegean 60 Spa or The Prestige Spa. Each houseboat offers a slightly different layout but equally incredible onboard facilities, including a fully equipped kitchen, rooftop spa (perfect for stargazing), four staterooms and two bathrooms. With the freedom to cater for your water-based adventure and supply your own food and drinks, you can choose to whip up a feast of locally-sourced delights every night and stock up on provisions before you depart, or even step away from your floating home to spend a night on the Gold Coast and hit the town to see why Surfers Paradise is a haven for travellers from near and far.
