Coolangatta
Welcome in Coolangatta. Our Ayurveda College Premise & Health and Beauty Centre at the Gold Coast.
The Venue for course delivery for your course will be the Ayurveda House Coolangatta at Suite 304 / 70 Griffith Street Coolangatta QLD 4225. Right in the middle of the main Shopping Area and less then a minute walk from the beach. Ideally located in a more peaceful area of the Gold Coast and still very close to the M1 Highway, the Airport and the beautiful beaches of Coolangatta and Kirra. Buses are running all day from the bus stop right next to the College building to the heart of the Gold Coast City. It is only a short Bus ride to Robina station from where you can catch a train to Brisbane City which is only a short 80Km from here. As Part of our courses we have Scheduled Excursions (as listed in our time tables). These Excursions will take you to The Ayurveda House in Kyogle NSW 27 Campbell Rd for learning about in house & out patient clients for detox and rejuvenation programs, manufacturing of Ayurvedic oils & medicine as well as cooking classes. We also facilitate an Excursion to Metagenics/ Mediherb to visit their manufacturing, herb storage & preparation facilities. We will also visit a Gold Coast or Brisbane Hospital for an introduction to various medicine departments. The Airport is less then 5 minutes away from the College Venue. The College can arrange pick up from Coolangatta Airport as well as Robina station.
The Weather here is ideal almost all year round, providing a pleasant environment for studies. Burleigh is surrounded by some of Australia’s most pristine beaches as well as stunning National Parks in the Hinterland.
