Veronique

The Resort was wonderful. The villa was just what we needed well equipped and spacious plus good beds. The free walks were really interesting and worth doing. The food in the Restaurants was good, only problem they closed early. booked the scenic trip which was very enjoyable and got to see some of the wonderful Island. We would stay again.

Jurassic Park stile at Fraser Island (good holidays for the family)

Michael

The accommodation was comfortable, especially the beds and our villa had all the usual kitchen equipment that makes it easy to prepare meals when self catering. The pools were clean and attractive. While it is a long way from the Eastern Beach and most of the tourist attractions it does provide tours. The food and drinks in the restaurants were reasonably priced and food was of good quality. The degustation dinner at Seabelle was amazing. Great Chefs! The gentleman on reception during several days we were there was lovely - chatty and filled with information.

“Dark and gloomy and couldnt wait to leave.”

The room was gloomy, very little natural light and not enough room lighting. The trips were expensive. Felt 'contained' in the resort. I was disappointed that there wasn't an opportunity to snorkel and see coral reef at the resort and swimming elsewhere on the island was not recommended due to sharks.
The food in the Salt Bar was good. I liked the token for towels for the pool system.

Activities are rather infrequent so you have to go on their schedule with little flexibility. Could run some of them more often or even hire the gear out.
Clean, comfortable and friendly. Beautiful location. All in all had a lovely few days on the island. Was a bonus to see whales out on the water. The staff were very nice with a special shout out to Russ the concierge.

There was massive difference between one fabulous restaurant with amazing food and extremely pleasant staff compared to the other which was poorly staffed and food that was barely average.

The main lobby doors were defective and always left open. This let in winter cold and the result was very cold restaurants in morning and evening. The rooms are dated, and the bathrooms especially old. Shower water temp went from good to scalding to cold frequently.
The staff were great, ranger guided tours excellent, food was imaginative and tasty

All the great spots are om the other side of the island, so you really need a 4WD to get there. It takes you about an hour to get to the other side. Shop at the resort is very expensive.
The villa had everything you wanted and much more! Really big villa, enormous terrace, very comfy beds and a super equiped kitchen.

Booked via Booking.com which indicated an ocean view , ended up with a view of the rear of the property overlooking the service station at the rear, very disappointing. Wanted an express checkout, but checked account and it indicated a $120 barge cost, I was already on the island and had paid for the barge myself, my booking never said anything about a barge cost and so i then had to line up and challenge the cost which meant I could not do the express checkout for not fault of mine
Didnt have breakfast, it wasnt included or at least I wasn't told it it was
