    Meals were a little pricey for what you get, frozen veg etc. But understandable considering the isolation I guess?

    Room was modern spacious and clean, a credit considering the amount of sand on Fraser. Pool was an added bonus for the kids! We made use of the bbq area for breakfast and a dinner,maybe a hot plate for a pot would be a welcome addition? Staff were friendly and the place had a great atmosphere. Was nice to come back to a warm shower and cold beer after a day of exploring. We’ll be back!!

    Nothing. Not the place to stay if you need aircon, and expect the floor to be covered in sand within 5 mins of arriving (it is an island made of sand). There was a dustpan and brush for the cabin, but a broom would have been handy too.

    Stayed for 2 nights. We loved the simple cabin with big open louvres (and essential flyscreens) and fans. Modern bathroom, a fridge and a kettle. A great place tucked away in the bush with a hot shower and comfy bed at the end of a busy day on the island. As others have mentioned, there is no kitchenette (there is a camp kitchen but we didn't use it). The outdoor covered restaurant was lovely for dinner and a beer. Particularly enjoyed the roo sandwich.

    Hotel room was basic (3 beds in a room with a fridge) but better than camping (if you’re not a camper).

    Great location with useful facilities onsite - cafe, shop, pool, shared camp kitchen, laundry and fuel.

    The fridge in cabin 3 probably needs to be updated. It's a shame there's no kitchen facilities in the cabins, however it was only a short walk to the camp kitchen.

    Fantastic location, good amenities very close to the cabins including a shop, bar, restaurant, phone and fuel. Bathroom has been renovated and the pool was great. The cocktails at the bar were very good.

    Room was noisy when other guests were using the eating area early hours of the morning and late at night. The walk up to the room was quite a task especially with luggage and belongings too.

    Location of the property was great, room was spacious and could fit more people than expected.

    Needed a bit of maintenance, stairs near the camp kitchen needs repairing and a fresh paint job would be all it took. Camp kitchen was a bit dirty and not the best we have seen but so grateful they had one
