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!

K’gari means paradise and is aptly named.

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!

Jungle experience

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!

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 Bathroom was outdated but clean.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.

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.

Great staff, not matched by the facilities .....

All the resort staff we met were friendly, keen to help and knowledgeable. The resort Rangers were exceptional, we attended 5 guided walks and talks about K'gari's plants and animals and geology. Each Ranger was extremely knowledgeable about their subject matter, and communicated in a clear and engaging style with a wide range of people who attended the activities However, the general condition of the resort was less than expected, and bordered on being "tired". Money needs to be spent of improving the resort centre and the rooms in our opinion The on-site food outlets were expensive for the quality offered, while the "village" shop price gauged by 30%+ compared to shops on the mainland

Very comfortable and spacious family villa, requested air conditioning and loved how cool.the summer nights were with this feature. The customer service on check in was extremely good, the power had gone out but it was still easy and the lady serving was very friendly. The only thing that was disappointing was there were ants in our villa and we didn't realise so they managed to get into my sons birthday cake, when I asked a staff member at reception if there were any options to try and replace it with something, even just a muffin or anything? and still sing happy birthday she just said no, she didn't even ask the kitchen or anything.
