The Residences at The Peninsula
Gated townhouses at Hope Island, eight kilometres out
About this hotel
The Residences at The Peninsula sit in the heart of Hope Island, a 4-star apartment and townhouse development within a gated community, around eight kilometres from Dreamworld, WhiteWater World and Warner Bros. Movie World. Check-in runs through a dedicated reception on the ground floor of the Peninsula building, open through the afternoon with after-hours key collection arranged for later arrivals. The apartments and townhouses come with a private bathroom, bath and shower, complimentary toiletries and a kitchen, giving families the space and self-sufficiency of a home base with the more structured feel of a managed development. The garden setting and Hope Island location make it a calmer, more residential alternative to the busier holiday parks closer to the motorway.
- Gated Hope Island community
- Private bathroom and kitchen
- 4-star accommodation
Our take
This suits a family who wants a managed, gated development rather than a standalone holiday home, with a reception on hand for questions and after-hours arrivals covered. The Hope Island setting is quieter than the Pimpama and Coomera cluster, trading a few extra kilometres for a more residential, garden feel. It works less well for families wanting to walk out the door straight onto the theme park strip itself.
- ✓Confirm your arrival time against reception hours in advance, since after-hours key collection needs to be arranged ahead of time.
- ✓Book this over a standalone holiday home if you prefer a managed, gated community over a private house.
- ✓Plan slightly more drive time to WhiteWater World from Hope Island than from the closer Pimpama and Coomera options.

Why guests love itThe gated Hope Island setting gives this stay a calmer, more residential feel than the busier holiday parks nearer the motorway, with a proper reception on hand rather than a self check-in box. The eight-kilometre drive to WhiteWater World is a reasonable trade-off for the quieter surroundings and garden setting, and the private bathroom and kitchen cover the practical side of a family stay comfortably well.
