Lodge Fraser Island Retreat

Happy Valley Drive, 4581 Fraser Island, Australia –

Lock in a great price for Fraser Island Retreat – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

Very friendly staff! Beautiful Rooms: wooden floor, comfortable beds, big fridges. In the Retreat you find a little store with some grocery and other basics. If you like you can eat in their diner/restaurant which is also great to hang out in the evening, but not too long as at 9:30 Happy Valley turns into “peaceful quiet valley”. I can definitly recommend this place if you are looking for a comfortable compromise between camping and resort.

Thomas, Germany

The “new” continental breakfast was substantial, and good value for $10, though the flat white coffee was thin and had little flavour. Our cottage was clean, beds were of good quality, and staff were helpful and personable.

Sheila, Canada

Great location, good breakfast, nice little museum about the ship wreck.

Michael, China

Great location at a reasonable price on Fraser Island.

Mary, United States of America

Clean and spacious while providing a friendly staff to help you with all your needs.

Andrew, United States of America

For those who have never visited Fraser Island.... Happy Valley in my opinion is the best place to stay, it is 'central' to all things and sits you want to visit. Access to inland tracks are also excellent.

Fady, Australia

Lovely central location near the beach ( bear in mind jelly fish and sharks ) Deconstructed basic accommodation in touch with the FI West coast

Richard, United Kingdom

An Inside Look at Fraser Island Retreat

PLEASE NOTE: FRASER ISLAND IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY 4WD VEHICLE, EITHER YOUR OWN OR HIRED. Happy Valley derived its name (apparently) from back in the timber getting days from two German Gentlemen that used to brew their own beer in the settlement and it became known throughout the Island as a place to come and have that "Refreshing Ale" hence the name Happy Valley, the place to come and get happy.

Broken fly screens Not many options in restaurant as food supply was short.
The facilities were a little run down Ants flooded the room and all the fly screens had holes in them so at night the room was full of mosquitoes and flies.
