Clean large room and the candy bar was cool. Great breakfasts too. My only disappointment was the pool was closed for renovations and I didn’t know that at the time of booking or I probably would have changed this

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
