The good news is there are plenty of options when it comes to accommodation on K’gari Fraser Island and they are as diverse as the island itself, from the cosy beachfront holiday homes, to bush camps under the stars, to the big resorts. Where to stay on K’gari Fraser Island will depend on what kind of trip you want to have. Every option has its pros and cons, of course, but if you know what you want, we can help you find it.
Whether you’re travelling alone, with your significant other or a big group, there will be a property for you. Unsurprisingly, cabins tend to cost less than larger properties. Either way, be sure you come equipped with everything you might need for your trip, as it can be hard to find supplies on the island. Read below for options to choose from, especially with us at The Haven or Eco Retreat. Read below and click on the links to book with us!
Stunning beach view just steps away from The Haven.
1. Holiday Homes
Accommodation on K’gari Fraser Island can also mean having the space and comfort of your very own house. There are a number of rental properties available on the island, some with epic views out to the ocean… like our two, ADULTS ONLY, beach houses at THE HAVEN.
We have a beautiful, 1-bedroom abode for up to 4 people. It’s named Wongari, which is ‘dingo’ in the language of the Butchella people. We also have a 2-bedroom, spacious home for 5 people at Burad, which means ‘sea eagle.’ Both beach houses boast comfort, style and cruisy vibes with a kitchen, indoor/outdoor dining areas, sofa couch, beds with linen, eco-friendly toiletries, BBQ, fishing gear and an esky (to catch your big fish!) A combined outdoor fire pit is also provided for you to hang out, tell stories, toast marshmallows and cheers while you relax with some cold bevvies. Both houses have a spectacular, elevated view of the ocean and are literally a hop, skip and a jump down to the smooth sand and echoing waves of Poyungan Beach (only 10 minutes from Eurong and Happy Valley).
Check out both house options and book yourself a well-deserved escape here at The Haven. Why not even throw in a 4WD Hire Package here through Drop Bear Adventures!
2. Camping and Glamping
Camping is a great option in good weather.
There are plenty of campsites on the island (45 in total), from basic bush camps to well-equipped sites with amenities such as showers and toilets. Take your pick from one of the many beachside campgrounds or head more inland and sleep under the trees. Some also have dingo fences for added peace of mind. Book in advance if you are travelling during peak season.
However… IF you like the idea of getting back to nature but not actually sleeping on the ground, then book yourself a GLAMPING TENT at our Eco Retreat!
We have seven large, comfortable glamping tents with proper beds and private ensuite bathrooms with eco-friendly toiletries in this charming ‘island home.’ You can book shared accommodation or a private room. The canvas walls still mean you get to enjoy the sounds of the island as you settle down to sleep and its location right on 75 Mile Beach means the sound of the surf is never far away. It also boasts a toasty outdoor fire pit, hammocks and a 1-minute stroll to the blissful, sandy beach and rolling waves.
The Eco Retreat is exclusively reserved for Drop Bear Tour guests so book your tour today and enjoy the perfect mix of home comforts, great food and comfy beds that still give you a relaxed camping feel. While you’re at it, why not book your Guided 4WD Tour or 4WD Hire Package here!
3. Resorts
When you really have to have all your home comforts, book into one of K’gari Fraser Island’s top notch resorts. The best known is the Kingfisher Bay which has accommodation ranging from plush rooms to self-contained units, not to mention no less than four swimming pools and a kids’ club. Eurong Beach may be slightly less fancy but still an excellent choice for families (or anyone) after a K’gari Fraser Island trip, where a good night’s sleep is pretty much guaranteed.
