Great location, only 5 minutes walk from cafes and the Expedition Centre. The kitchen was large and well-stocked. On the downside, the wifi was extremely slow, too slow to use it for work or meetings. Also, the apartment didn't have heat and could have benefited from maintenance. For example, the TV remote didn't work and the toilet paper holder was broken.

Blue Lagoon on Moreton Island is only accessible by boat and then 4WD. As moreton is the 3rd largest sand island in the world, the water is always close to the surface and is filtered by the sand, so it is fresh water - any brown tinge to the water is tannin from the tea trees. The Lagoon is a short walk from the carpark. Tours and 4WD hire are available from Tangalooma Resort or you can take your own 4WD over on the Micat Vehicular Ferry
