A Great Break

Not having been to K'gari / Fraser Island before we choose the resort with the Island 4wd tour and Whale watching.
the 2 tours were fantastic. Being driven to the more known spots that really showcase the diversity of the Island was great. The guide very knowledgeable, the spots very interesting The Lunch was great.
The area is renowned for its Whale playground and they were there in abundance.
The resort itself is good, blends into the surrounds but you are stuck with paying resort prices for All Meals and they venues do not cope with the numbers.
generally the staff were satisfactory. double check what you are told with a couple on the boat on the way back being told not to bother with the whale watching because they have gone and another telling us bookings were not required when they totally are for everything.

Kingfisher Bay Resort is Paradise

Kingfisher Bay Resort & Fraser/K'gari Island are on a whole other level of beauty & relaxation. We went on a whale watching tour & it was magical. The whales are in Platypus Bay so the water is lovely & calm. The whales were relaxed & super playful….. best whale experience I've ever had.

Island life in comfort

I love Fraser Island and over the years have camped independently on many occasions. While that offers thrills and challenges, always enjoyable , it was nice to enjoy also the comforts Kingfisher Bay Resort has to offer. It's interesting landscape and building design is arresting. Without a vehicle options can be rather limiting, and I would advise jumping aboard the island beauty spots 4WD tour arranged through the resort. Fabulous experience.

Spectacular surroundings and wonderful service

Very happy with our trip to Fraser Island from start to finish we were picked up on time and transfers were efficient and operators friendly. Our room was clean and met our needs the resort was beautiful and well app appointed with Spa Shop and swimming pool and many bars and restaurants The buffet breakfast was one of the best I have.encountered loved the pancake machine. Staff were friendly and the surroundings were spectacular. Loved our Beauty spots tours wished we could of stayed at Lake McKenzie longer though. Would of loved a transport system to drop off at Lake Mckenzie and pick up for a extra fee of course that would be magnificent!!

A bit expensive for what you get

The resort was nice overall, but I thought it was not good value for money.
- Wifi came as an expensive extra, and the broadband is not even good in the rooms far from the lobby.
- Not many options to exercise: running not recommended because of the dingoes, no gym available, pools are more for recreational purposes and tennis equipment is not well maintained.
- The room itself was nice enough, but was quite dark. There was limited amount of sunlight during the day and only weak lamps for the evening.
- There were little efforts made to entertain guests, appart from the guided tours, the pools and the bar.

Value for money set aside, I enjoyed the stay. Staff was helpful and friendly, breakfast was great, and the 4WD guided tour was a great day out. It was a good 3 night break.

Versatile way to relax

Nice place to relax and explore some nature. Resort was very comfortable with all the amenities available. Service good. Good choice of dining. Especially Seabelle restaurant stand out with quality of food. Maheno on the other hand could have some more variety of food for dinner for the price they charge. Pool very nice. Villa had everything what self-contained accomodation need to have, even Foxtel with sport channels
for the boys for lazy evening ;) Thank you for nice and interesting holiday. Fraser Island have lots to offer, shame we had only 6 nights, need more to see everything

Perfect family get away

Our villa was excellent though friends of ours were in some that we're as good. Request the villas on the hill if you can as they had big balconies with ocean views. A little under staffed on the public holidays but overall kids had a ball. Great family holiday

Great eco location

Great location , tours were fantastic. We had close up experiences with several whales. Scenic flights, four wheel driving ,Fine dining, bush tucker, casual dining and a choice of bars. We were upgraded to ocean view as a bonus.
Couldn't ask for any more.

Tired staff and resort

\"Good\" only resort and needs a more attention to the service of patrons. Rooms are OK but in need for a refurb in coming years. Activities need to be upgraded.
