Kingfisher Bay Resort Reviews

Overall stay was good. I think they might have been short staffed during our stay. I would recommend for the resort to have a directory of extension numbers by the room phones. I had to walk to restaurants and reception if I needed something. Probably need somebody supervising and keeping the pool area clean. Overall I enjoyed the stay, good food!

Kingfisher Resort is the best hotel on Fraser Island. The design style is still very close to nature and has won many architectural awards. The sunset bar is beautiful, and the independent villas are spacious and warm. The sanitation conditions cannot be compared with other places, after all, it is on a pristine island that has not been over-developed. The food and gasoline on the island are very expensive, so warm⏰Everyone fill up the gas and bring food to the island. Next time I go to the island, I will choose this resort hotel.

This island is beautiful! So Much pristine rainforest. Take the full day Beauty island tour for an amazing experience and stop into Peter Meyers art shop to see his incredible photography!

Amazing place. Staff so kind and friendly. Shout outs to Dune the best Japanese fusion food I have had in a long time ! Peter our guide on Beauty spots tour. Amazing funny and knowledgable. Ethan/Evan?my kayak guide this morning great trip out. Pambila in the spa for a great treatment. Will defo be back.

I felt very sorry for the staff. They were overworked, inexperienced but tried hard. The dining options were very limited and usually had long waiting times. A shuttle service to the spa villas at the top of the resort would have made getting children, strollers, aged a lot easier on such hot and humid days.

The menus are very limited, when busy waiting times for your food once ordered can be from 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.

We were extremely excited for this trip, but unfortunately the resort is just mediocre. We stayed in the villa #614 (privately owned and administered by the resort) and, while we'll thought out, we had to contend with some of the worst mattresses we had ever experienced in our lives (think a 15yo mid-level Ikea mattress). The couch was also in a terrible state, so we may have been unlucky there. The it comes the restaurants, and we tried all three. Dune (the more expensive one) was pretty adequate, but the other two were not. Mediocre breakfast, domino's-like pizza, and it ended up taking up some time to find a few good dishes (Onion rings, Korean chicken, nachos and fish and chips at Sand and Wood). Finally, the pools were permanently cloudy with people behaving like animals without any interference from resort personnel. It is easy to say that it is not really worth the price.

Its a great resort overall if you plan on staying on the western side and not exploring.

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!

We have been going to Fraser for many years & were lucky enough to spend many of our visits there when it was privately owned. Since it has changed hands we’ve been quite disappointed with how they’ve changed it. The number of staff & level of service has diminished quite dramatically & the food selections are disappointing, there is only so many burgers ect one can eat, the buffet dinner that used to be in what was the Maheno restaurant was much better & I think the people of Hervey Bay would miss the once a week seafood extravaganza. It really is a shame when big companies ruin things that have been so successful in private hands, I don’t understand why they would change things that work?

Gorgeous piece of paradise is Frazer island. The hotel at this moment is not a resort. The lack of staff makes it really difficult for guests to have a resort experience. Boat tours are all cancelled (Although the website says sold out) because there are no workers, Spa is closed cause there are no workers. Restaurants closed because there are no workers or the hotel doesn't wanna pay Sundays or bak holidays rates. Either way the experience is the same for guests, poor. Frazer Island makes it up in behalf of the hotel......

Relaxing atmosphere however the room mattress could of done with replacing. Very uncomfortable. Ceiling fans would of been nice instead of air-conditioning. I had to clean the filters out.

Loved the uniqueness of the island, how beautiful it was. Was probably a little to quiet, we stayed 5 days and it became boring.

We were locked out of our room as door needed fitting and we were late for a wedding. Also the bar staff were very slow. But everything else was lovely
