Junior Eco rangers program was great for the kids. Beauty spots tour was a wonderful way to see the island. 2 bedroom villa was perfect for our family of 4. Village store had the basic amenities needed.

Jessica United States of America

Fraser Island is a fantastic location, amazing natural history. Kingfisher Bay Resort is great, plenty to do and see, great facilities.

Stephen Australia

Amazing location. Do as much or as little as you like. Our room was a good size and very clean. There has been some refurbishment in the room to make them a little more modern. Lovely deck overlooking the wetlands, was a great place to rest in the afternoon. We did the degustation, which was wonderful and the beauty spot tour, which we would highly recommend so you get to see other parts of the island. Drinks were reasonably priced and the staff so very helpful and friendly.

Readi2go Australia

The Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island was really nice. Maheno Bar and The Sand Bar were serving Good Breakfast and Good Dinner but the price was a little on the higher side.

Deepak India

Service was very Good specially from Suby, she works really hard and always has smile and charming personality.

Rajat India

The location was great Staff was extremely friendly

Veronique Switzerland

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.
