FRASER ISLAND

All roads on K'Gari (Fraser Island) are sand roads as well as driving along the beach so you will require a 4WD to board the barge before even arriving to the island.

Eurong is central (and not tide relevant) to a number of the most beautiful lakes (eg Lake McKenzie, Lake Birrabeen, Lake Boomanjin, Lake Wabby), lush rainforests (eg Central Station) and pure crystal clear creeks (eg palm and fern lined Central Station (Wanggoolba Creek), and the numerous bushwalking trails.
You can enjoy the beauty of the island ranging from desert-like sandblows, unique and awe-inspiring lakes, exploring the many scenic drives on the island, 4WD adventures, and along the eastern beach some attractions are Eli Creek, the shipwreck of the Maheno, Indian Head and Champagne Pools, the coloured sands and all the way to the lighthouse at the far northern tip of the island. During your stay you may get to experience and see some of the wonderful wildlife on the island including turtles, whales, dolphins, stingrays, sharks, dingoes (said to be Australia's purest), and the wonderful birdlife.

*We, Steve and Lisa, live in a small cottage at the back of the property, with a separate entrance and do not share any of the house facilities. We will always be happy to share our extensive knowledge of the island with you!

Wasnt as advertised but still good stay

Check in was from 2pm, we were there at 1:50- waited past 2pm, We called owner and she rocked up about 2:15. She then had to clean it and look through the place. By the time we got into property it was almost 3pm. The house was clean enough, but all the dishes were dirty, we had to wash everything. We were then notified the pool had a leak, it was quite a large leak, which we felt would have been picked up earlier. Lisa chucked a hose in, but it was filthy. So no real use. Disappointed. For what we paid for the two nights we would have liked it fully up to standards.Aside from that its a great location and quick walk to the pub!

It was clean and nice. Good place to stay. However on the last night it was raining and the roof in the main bedroom had a leak. With tiles as floor it was very slippery. The power also went out during the night. I wrote to Lisa to get her view before rating but she did not reply.

Property needs work and alot of it, but location was excellent

Great location, Eurong is perfect spot for all. House was not like we thought from internet, so much work to be done to bring to a decent standard, unbearably hot and uncomfortable ( no air ) and only ceiling fans in two rooms. So much so we spent most of our time out front on camp chairs where sea breeze was fabulous. Furnishings below average - we appreciate they are to be upgraded in New Year but it should not have been let that way, but property manager did her best to make the situation best she could for us. Thanks Lisa Would i stay there again def not. Sadly as if this property has decent facilities we would have revisited for sure. Will we return to K'Gari again absolutely we will.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Walker

Hi!
Steve and I, Lisa, moved to live on Fraser Island in 2005 when we bought the only taxi on the island "Fraser Island Taxi Service". This is where our house has been lovingly given its nickname.
I have been visiting the island for my holidays since the late 1960's and it was like ''çoming home" to my island paradise when we moved here. We continue to enjoy living, working, playing, exploring, fishing, swimming, 4WDing, beachcombing, stargazing, on our beautiful K'gari.
We would love to share it with you - it's worth boasting about!

Why they chose this property

We love our quaint little beach house. We have enjoyed sharing our little piece of paradise with so many holiday makers over the last 13 years and we would like to share it with you too. The Taxi House being situated in Eurong is central to all the inland areas without having to worry about the tides like you would, if you were driving along the beach. You can make the most of your holiday - inland driving when it is high tide to visit rainforests, lakes etc inland and explore the treasures along the beach, Eli Ck, Maheno Shipwreck, Coloured Sands, Indian Head, Champagne Pools when the tides allow.

What makes this property unique

The Taxi House, is your typical little beach house. It has a peaceful and quiet atmosphere overlooking bush and the back of sand dunes. Eurong Second Valley, unlike the main area of Eurong (where the resort is located), our township doesn't have the main traffic congestion and is cut off to the bus loads of tourists and is more secluded and quite with only local holiday makers and just a few residents.
