Wonderful place on a fabulous island. Pretty much everything about K’gari and the Kingfisger Bay resort were first class. Food and beverage offer was varied and considering they have a captive audience was great value. Rooms were good and in good order. Views and activities brilliant.

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!
