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.

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.

Staff whilst doing there best are under the pump. Main restaurant next to the pool was pushed to capacity with hour long waits for food. When I say food I mean burgers and chips , club sandwich. Didn’t finish the club sandwich and the burger looked like it was put together by a mechanic not a chef. This left us with no alternative but to cook our own food from the limited and extortionist island shop. Geographically speaking all items need to be shipped in adding to cost, that’s not my gripe, it’s with the fact that I have to shop there at all because the restaurants can’t meet demand.
Beautiful setting and resort overall .... looks like a lot of upkeep is being carried out. Staff went to great efforts to make people feel at home. Courteous, professional, and friendly.

That the Villas were away from the rest of the resort, which made getting there awkward. We ordeŕed the bus quite often but were disappointed that communication between reception and bus driver was poor. We feel that if there was designated bus stops and seats for waiting at regular intervals it would be more accessable. Smaller groups on the night walks would be better as there was people who were very interested but other guests would interrupt over the information from the guide. My family members sre really interested in the environment and were keen to hear from the guide who did his best. Being a bit limited in my physical ability, i was disappointed that it was impossible for me to go for a swim in the ocean. (A beach wheelchair) would have been very helpful. There was lots of stairs and uneven walkways that made it difficult for me. We felt that breakfast was a bit overpriced. There were lots of stairs in and around for me to negotiate, which made it hard for me.
Talk & taste was really enjoyable and educational. The degustation was excellent at Seabellel. Massage at the day spa was excellent.

Maybe being an older Resort now fixtures getting a little tired. Maybe a better inspection of Villas should be attended b4 the next paying customer uses the facilities. I came for a holiday, not be on the phone asking to have things fixed.
Prompt service when reported issues. Attending staff from maintenance to reception staff and window cleaner all friendly and helpful. They all need pay rises :-)

The service at the resort was very average. Had to constantly remind them of our orders. Cocktails took between 30 mins and 45 mins to come, and had to remind them to make them on three different days! The coffee also took forever in both the resort and the petrol station.

You get your card blocked for $300 the minute you walk through the door in case of damages in room which we weren't expecting! The hotel is clearly not to the standard of a 4 star and it's very pricey for what it is. Our room was a bit disappointing. Very basic and lighting very dull and gloomy! Fly screen door broke and bath water came out brown and dirty at first. Needs a bit of TLC I'm afraid!! I was looking forward to relaxing in the pool but it was freezing despite being told it was heated!!! Everybody squeezed in outdoor spa (which was rather dirty and old)
We had an amazing holiday! Every single member of staff were friendly and approachable. We were pleased to find a complimentary bottle of wine in our fridge on arrival and a card for our wedding anniversary! What a lovely touch!! Sunset bar was so lovely to have a few drinks and watch the sunset and the platters were fab!!! Seabelle restaurant really nice!

“I was so disappointed with managers and reception staff. The rangers made our stay pleasurable”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 3 nights
Checking in was a nightmare. When booking I made it clear I had mobility issues and has issues walking up and down stairs. I was put in a 2 bedroom apartment with a huge number of stairs. When we finally had appropriate accommodation, the screen door was jammed and we could not sit out on the balcony, my step-father's blanket had holes in and the air conditioner was not working. I reported these twice at reception, nothing was fixed. Breakfast is a buffet style set up. The 9am time, all the hot foods were cold. The staff told us incorrect information, as she told us a cuppa tea was included with the Buffet, but you had to pay for coffee. When it came to paying the bill, $4 per tea was charged to the bill. When telling the staff member that, she apologised that we were told that and still charged for the tea. I was really disappointed with the poor service staff. I will not take my family there again.
The ranges at Kingfisher were so knowledgeable. Their tours were excellent, well informed and presented confidently and had a genuine passion for the land and having a huge respect for the local Aboriginal people.
