A family on Queensland’s Gold Coast has woken to find a furry intruder making themselves comfortable in their lounge.

A koala set itself up in a woman’s Helensvale lounge, finding a prime spot on the sofa to snuggle in.

The woman heard a commotion in the middle of the night before finding the koala on Monday.
