Nightcap at Kondari Resort
It was freshly painted etc where i was... it would be nice if they cleaned the outdoor area off the rooms so we can enjoy it with bird poo everywhere. I brought a broom and wipes to clean it. The staff are so good, food is delicious. This is my place i stay every time i pop up to Fraser Coast.

Kingfisher Bay Resort
Fraser Island is incredible and the tour from Kingfisher is amazing. The resort is great for 1-2 nights. Not a lot of options on food or other activities, unless you have your own vehicle.
