Top Great Sandy Strait Hotel Reviews

TGIF Thank God its Fraser Eurong Fraser Island K'Gari

10/10 Excellent

"The place is in a great location and has plenty of amenities. We had a great time."

The Bungalow Fraser Island

10/10 Excellent

"The place was great. Large decks and outdoor areas to sit in. The place was large enough for the five of us and was easy to find. Large bathroom, main bedroom, living area."

Dolphin Waters Tin Can Bay

8/10 Good

"Nice views and comfortable. Would have been nice if pool was heated"

Fraser Island.Rays Place Eurong 4BR Home ,Ocean Views, BBQ Hut & Verandahs –

10/10 Excellent

"Location and amenities were fantastic. Being able to see the ocean and horizon was so amazing So great having so many rooms. Bit tough to ensure we had enough bedding for all the beds :| We loved it, the shower and little bath were incredible. So good to have a laundry. Really easy check in. Only thing worth mentioning is that there wasnt really any decent sized fry pans and the inside table is fairly tacky, likely from years of use and salty air."

Sleepy Lagoon Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to the pub and easy walk around destination"

K'gari Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The accommodation is conveniently located on the eastern side of the island which makes it easy to take in the sites. The apartment we had was clean and comfortable, although there was an issue with the hot water that we were not warned about. This translated to cold showers in winter for the first 24 hours of our stay. The restaurant was also being renovated when we stayed, but staff did their best to ensure reasonable meals. The pool tables gave us some night-time entertainment that was appreciated, although this area had a very ‘school-camp’ vibe. The pool was too cold to use when we stayed. Staff were friendly."
