Relax and unwind at our peaceful retreat, designed with the military community in mind. Operated by Service Personnel Anglican Help Society Ltd (SPAHS), a registered charity, St George's provides affordable holiday accommodation for current and former service personnel and their dependant children from Australia and its allies. Since 1915, SPAHS has hosted thousands of eligible guests at its seafront facilities at Rainbow Bay, near Coolangatta on Queensland's famous Gold Coast;. It is literally only metres from the renowned surfing mecca of Snapper Rocks and within easy reach of both Duranbah and Greenmount surf breaks. Our new building opens with a wide range of modern self contained accommodation including a range of studio and apartment accommodation with interconnecting rooms for larger groups.
