EXPERIENCE FRASER ISLAND

Eurong is central (and not tide relevant) to a number of the most beautiful lakes (eg Lake McKenzie, Lake Birrabeen, Lake Boomanjin, Lake Wabby), lush rainforests (eg Central Station) and pure crystal clear creeks (eg palm and fern lined Central Station (Wanggoolba Creek), and the numerous bushwalking trails.
You can enjoy the beauty of the island ranging from desert-like sandblows, unique and awe-inspiring lakes, exploring the many scenic drives on the island, 4WD adventures, and along the eastern beach some attractions are Eli Creek, the shipwreck of the Maheno, Indian Head and Champagne Pools, the coloured sands and all the way to the lighthouse at the far northern tip of the island. During your stay you may get to experience and see some of the wonderful wildlife on the island including turtles, whales, dolphins, stingrays, sharks, dingoes (said to be Australia's purest), and the wonderful birdlife.

*We, Steve and Lisa, live in a small cottage at the back of the property, with a separate entrance and do not share any of the house facilities. We will always be happy to share our extensive knowledge of the island with you!

The house is not flash but given the difficulty of living on Fraser completely off grid it was adequate and satisfied all of our needs. We all enjoyed staying there and it contributed to our short but very fulfilling experience of a world heritage site.

It was clean and nice. Good place to stay. However on the last night it was raining and the roof in the main bedroom had a leak. With tiles as floor it was very slippery. The power also went out during the night. I wrote to Lisa to get her view before rating but she did not reply.

Property needs work and alot of it, but location was excellent
Great location, Eurong is perfect spot for all. House was not like we thought from internet, so much work to be done to bring to a decent standard, unbearably hot and uncomfortable ( no air ) and only ceiling fans in two rooms. So much so we spent most of our time out front on camp chairs where sea breeze was fabulous. Furnishings below average - we appreciate they are to be upgraded in New Year but it should not have been let that way, but property manager did her best to make the situation best she could for us. Thanks Lisa Would i stay there again def not. Sadly as if this property has decent facilities we would have revisited for sure. Will we return to K'Gari again absolutely we will.

Lovely stay on K'gari
We had a good stay here. The host is lovely and has great communication. The 'sleep-outs' are inside the building, they are more like mini-bedrooms without doors. This is a nice budget property with a well equipped kitchen and great water heat and pressure in the shower (note no microwave or electric kettle in kitchen - all heating is gas due to eco electricity supply). There are some maintenance issues, and the outside is a but messy, but the owner is working on them.

Great location but the house and particularly the yards need work. It was clean inside but lots of stuff laying around outside that could be cleared up. The path in is a bit of a trip hazard. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Below par and not what was advertised
Very disappointing,from pictures of it on booking site very different to real life. Yard over grown, pool not operating plus a dead rat in it. Lounges had holes in them , when you sat in them you sunk down as spring are stuffed. Mould on most of ceilings and whole place smelled musty and stale. BBQ only half jets working plus to small for 9ppl to cook on it. The whole place needs a very thorough clean, paint and get rid of the Clutter everywhere. Would never stay there again nor reccommend. Have photos to support the issues raised in this review.

Overview
Very tired and basic place. Several holes in lounge. Not light in third bedroom. Doona was smelly. Sheets and towels not included which is a rip off and you need to dispose of your own rubbish. For the price I feel these should be included. Pool wasn’t working. Price you pay the towels and sheet and run us should be a given. Wouldn’t go back.
