Visitors to the Gold Coast from overseas may arrive at the international Terminal at Brisbane Airport or at the new International airport at Coolangatta. Domestic travellers have a choice of either Brisbane or the Gold Coast Airport at Coolangatta. The major airline carriers for domestic visitors are Qantas, Virgin Blue and Jetstar.

Flight time from Sydney to the Gold Coast is approximately 1 Hour and approximately 2 hours from Melbourne.

If you wish to drive from the Brisbane Airport Terminals, travel down the Pacific Motor way until you reach the Reedy Creek Exit - Marked Exit 85. From there drive directly to the Gold Coast Highway and travel south through Burleigh Heads. Over the hill you turn right into Ikkina Road and then directly into Djerral Avenue. There you will find Koala Cove just north of the beautiful Tallebudgera River.

We can assist you with recommendations for the most suitable airport transfers, from the local bus and the Air Train service from Brisbane Airport to motor coach and limousine companies. Enquire when you are making your booking.

Planning on a rental vehicle for your holiday? Why not arrange a pick up and drop off at the airport and save the cost of transfer. Koala Cove can assist with your vehicle rental bookings.

If you decide to use the local public transport, the Gold Coast has a very reliable and affordable system. Local bus services operate 65 m from the door and run every 15 minutes during the day and half hourly intervals during the night. The Koala Cove staff will be happy to assist you with this.
