Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat

We will def be back we loved the turtles oh man the were every where... We found one night stay here was just not enough .... So relaxing beach prob 75 metres up the road pool was awesome after a run and all self contained with was the best .... Nothing better the relaxing on the verandah having a beer of a night relaxing over looking the pond!!! .... No miggies or mosquitoes which were excellent!!!

Nothing we didn't love!!!

The lake with its bird life and turtles, which you can watch from your cabin. Cabins are very comfortable.

The reception was very warm, the enviroment around was good.I will choose this hotel if I will go there next time.

The location, gardens and wildlife. The chalet position overlooking the lakes was relaxing and we enjoyed feeding the birds and turtles.

The room was a little tired looking and in need of an uplift.

Wildlife Peaceful Comfortable Location to beach Helpful owners

Fabulous place to stay and each lodge looked out onto the lake which had plenty of ducks, turtles and one or two eels! A great place with a really friendly couple and Tozzer the dog who could sniff out toast at breakfast time from a mile away. A great place to stay and see Australian birds. Excellent - close to shops and restaurants too. A great Experience and I loved it.

It was comfortable and quiet, loved the wildlife you can watch from your balcony.

Quiet oasis with wonderful scenery and birds close to Urangan pier. Very vlean, well equiped lodges. Staff extremely helpful. Alread booked to return!

We had the best time, was great for the kids to feed the ducks and turtles right at our doorstep. The staff were awsome and Kondari pub for a feed was yum. Definitely money well spent on this getaway....

The three essentials! Clean, Quiet and Comfortable. Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat advertising pictures, truly depict the facilities and serenity provided. Nothing to complain about. We will plan future visits.

Quiet. Walking distance to pub & restaurant. Separate units.

Coming home.

All kinds of birds in a small lake within the accomodation area gave a feeling of being in the middle of nature; friendly and helpful staff; accomodation close to restaurants, shops and esplanade; small swimming pool available; laundry facilities available; starting point for trips to Fraser Island

Although availability of WiFi internet was not one of our priorities, it would be an advise to implement this in the accomodation infrastructure.

Individual lodges with outside deck, directly overlooking lake, stayed for 4 nights with a gap in the middle to go to Lady Elliot Island.Owners very helpful, allowed us to keep our lodge without payment, while we were staying on Lady Elliot Island. Would definitely stay again, thank you.

The location of the cabin overlooking the lake

The cabins need an upgrade

A really great setting....lots of wildlife....even turtles that are tame enough to eat of your hand

bit of a shaky fridge

The lakeside setting and natural environment for the turtles and wildlife. The owners who allowed us to keep our room while we visited lady Eliot island for three days, and Fraser Island is also a must do. Sitting on the decking at night was very relaxing after a full schedule. Thanks for your hospitality.

Nothing

Nothing

Friendly staff willing to help good knowledge of thrir local area

Quiet peaceful location surrounded by lake with a private cabin. Wonderful experience

Peaceful, secluded units with picturesque views of lake. Plenty of wild birds to observe.

A little dated but otherwise clean and adequate.

Location

lovely staff, really nice and clean and airy and spacious. it was a little bit removed from everything but not so much that it was hard to get anywhere / do anything.... was a really nice downtime stay. loved it. peaceful! Nature, beach, quiet!

No hot water at the time was a bit of a bummer (but unavoidable due to bad floods) and so was limited telly / no dvd reception... however... i did go to get away from everything so i probably didn't need them anyway!!

The whole place ...it's quietness, the water birds and the friendliness and helpfulness of staff.

Nothing..due to the main gas pipe being broken due to the recent floods, the whole Fraser Coast was without gas meaning cold showers. This in no way took away from the stay
