Fraser Island is incredible and the tour from Kingfisher is amazing. The resort is great for 1-2 nights. Not a lot of options on food or other activities, unless you have your own vehicle.
We had a wonderful stay at the resort. Everything was easily accessible, the staff were great and the cabin we hired had everything we need. Would definitely come again.
We were pleasantly surprised by our two bedroom villa, being privately owned meant there was more outdoor furniture and a modern kitchen, bathroom. The resort has great facilities and makes for such a relaxing holiday when the kids are happy! The sunsets are next level and soo much wildlife to be seen off the jetty. We will be back!
Fantastic resort in a very natural setting. Very well organized, clean and friendly resort. 4x4 beauty spots tour was great, guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend.

Beauty spot tour with Martin, amazing. Dining and reception could do with smiles and assistance whether needed or not.
This island is beautiful! So
Much pristine rainforest. Take the full day Beauty island tour for an amazing experience and stop into Peter Meyers art shop to see his incredible photography!

More healthy food variety and cafe style venues.
Pool was Extremely cold.
Although we did enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the place.
This was a wonderful place to stay. It’s set in native bushland, with lots of boardwalks and formed tracks through the property. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda watching birds and lizards, swimming in the lovely pools and watching the sunsets. There are also a number of excursions to explore the island from the property, and a small shop with plenty of supplies. Highly recommended!
Amazing place. Staff so kind and friendly. Shout outs to Dune the best Japanese fusion food I have had in a long time ! Peter our guide on Beauty spots tour. Amazing funny and knowledgable. Ethan/Evan?my kayak guide this morning great trip out. Pambila in the spa for a great treatment. Will defo be back.

Amazing location, they did an fantastic job to ensure resort blends ins with the surrounding nature. Bathroom was outdated but clean. If your over 1,7m you will need to hold the shower head. Staff was friendly.
When you book the pickup from the airport, ensure you ask upfront for the location as there are no signs at the airport (lady from tourist info was helpful).
I can recommend booking the beauty spot tour, this will make your stay outstanding.
Really nice place to stay when visiting K´Gari. The room was nice but smelled a little bit of mould. Big bathroom with a big nice window. The restaurant closest to the pool was disturbed from kids playing and shouting. When we asked for another table the staff couldn't help us. The full day excursion was on the other hand awesome!

Three days is too short! Clean and tidy facilities, however my room smelt damp and even with aircon on this could not be rectified. Highly recommend the Island Day Spa for a massage, the 4WD “Beauty Spots” tour, drinks and cheese / prawn platter down at the Sunset Bar and Dune Restaurant was delicious. If you book Accommodation via Wotif, be sure to arrange ferry passage and transfers prior, as well as buffet breakfast.
