Let these dreamy island accommodation options tempt you into a stay on K’gari.

Straight stretches of beach off into the horizon, crystal clear lakes, white silica sand, beautiful wildlife, mangrove systems, rainforests: it’s all just part of what you’ll discover on K’gari (formerly Fraser Island). While it is possible to ferry or fly over for just a day trip, it would truly be a waste not to spend several days exploring the world’s largest sand island. So understanding K’gari accommodation options is essential.

Whether you’re looking to immerse in the natural surrounds, go on an adventure or indulge in a little luxury, this is the guide for you.

1. Kingfisher Bay Resort

You’d be hard-pressed to find accommodation with a more idyllic setting than Kingfisher Bay Resort. Nestled on the edge of World Heritage-listed K’gari (formerly Fraser Island), it’s got everything you need to make this remote island feel connected.

BYO four-wheel-drive for unscheduled adventures of the world’s largest sand island (the scale of which is hard to comprehend until you’re there). Zip around the island’s unbelievably scenic freshwater wild swimming spots, catch sight of dingoes, wander into forest groves and adventure over sand dunes. No 4WD? No problem. Discover a huge range of Kingfisher Bay Resorts tours and events – truly its crowning glory.

K’gari Beach Houses

Australians are relentlessly drawn to the nostalgic joy that accompanies a stay in a good old-fashioned beach house. And K’gari Beach Houses add a healthy dose of understated luxury to your accommodation daydream. Think white-painted walls, open-plan living spaces, and glorious ocean views from the verandah.

The two- and three-bedroom units are surrounded by native trees and flowers and are just a step down from the super-duper luxury accommodation options available on the island. Designed with families in mind, the generously sized units deliver a laidback-yet-luxurious option for those in search of a perfect beachside getaway.

K’gari Beach Resort

This charming beachside resort is another heavy-hitter on K’gari thanks to its close proximity to 75 Mile Beach.

The beach resort (formerly known as Eurong Beach Resort) resembles a resort-style beach village with 124 hotel rooms that sit alongside self-contained apartments. You’ll also find two swimming pools on-site, as well as tennis courts, a fully equipped laundry, newsagent, bakery, general store, petrol station, bottle shop, barbeque area and on-site restaurant.

K’gari Beach Resort’s Beach Bar is hands down the most fantastic spot on the island for a drink. Forget any ideas about a fancy wine – order yourself a beer and wander outside to the pool table area to sit under a typical Queenslander pub roof for a chat with whoever else is around.

Kokomo at Kingfisher Bay

If you’re after that picture-perfect beachside retreat – complete with views of bleached white sand, and an immense rainforest backdrop – look no further than Kingfisher Bay’s Kokomo.

The old timber house sleeps 10 and is set under shady coconut palms on private grounds with direct access to the shore of the bay. The interior has been redecorated in a pristine provincial boathouse style, complete with a massive covered veranda, hot outdoor shower, bamboo benchtop surrounded by flower gardens and hammocks slung in cool, quiet corners.

There are four swimming pools on-site to be enjoyed alongside a visit to the day spa, tennis courts or one of three restaurants.

Camping

There are 45 camping areas to choose from on K’gari, each one as blissfully picturesque as the next.

The camping site for you will depend on what you’re looking for from your adventure. Do you want to be close to amenities? Close to the beach? Sleep in total solitude? Wake up to world-class sunrises? Go fishing all day?
