About this property

Happy Gecko Villa - Kingfisher Bay

K’gari (Fraser Island) is the largest sand island in the world - its breath taking beauty and natural attractions make it one of the most sought after holiday destinations. What better way to explore this world heritage listed island than to set your destination to the renowned Kingfisher
Bay a winner of numerous environmental, tourism and architectural awards.

The Happy Gecko is a two bedroom fully self-contained villa positioned in one of the very best spots in the whole resort complex. Just a short flat stroll from your door you have access to all Kingfisher Bay facilities including a multitude of award winning restaurants, bars, cafe and pizzeria.

Perfect for both those looking to relax and reconnect with nature OR those seeking an action packed adventure holiday. Either way, Happy Gecko will tick all the boxes!

The villa has a queen size bed in the main bedroom with a double bed plus a king-size single in the second bedroom. The bathroom has a spa bath and fabulous adjustable shower.

The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, oven, microwave, stove and everything else you may need.

There is cable TV and internet access is available (for a fee).

There are guided nature walks, canoe trips, tennis courts, 3 salt water pools and a spa sanctuary for those seeking a pamper. For a minimal cost have the night off while the kids enjoy the junior eco ranger program (runs most weekends and school holidays).

When not lounging by the pool or dining in an award winning restaurant, your days will be spent watching the whale migration, spotting dugongs or loggerhead turtles - and that is before even leaving the resort.
Further afield, the beaches, the rainforest, the crystal clear lakes and the wildlife will have you amazed and ensure you leave rejuvenated.

Great Easter Weekend
The property was as described, spacious and well located minutes from the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would recommend adding some more cutlery, dinner and serve wear to avoid running the dishwasher all the time. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

Easy family holiday
Not too far from resort facilities and beach at the end of the road, this well set up unit makes for an easy family holiday. Photos depict a bunk which was not currently there but a sofa bed was fun for kids to watch a movie. Thank you!

Relaxing Stay at Satinay 2BR Villa
Robyn was a great communicator from our initial booking right through the end of our stay. The villa was located close to all amenities and in a quieter area of the resort which we had preferred. Appreciated the well equipped kitchen which had sufficient kitchenware for a family of 4. Thanks, Robyn!

Very comfortable stay for 4 adults and one child,
Few things missing from the kitchen, couple of wooden spoons; a pair scissors; and a few more Tupperware like containers plus a pair of oven gloves. But my main concern was when I used the Large double handled saucepan with the lid; the whole saucepan and handles became extremely hot to handle. This nearly caused me to burn myself when I removed the lid and tried to lift the saucepan off the stove. Overall we had a great 4 night stay.

Kingfisher Stay
We had a lovely 3 night stay. My review isn’t all 5 Star simply because when we turned up the booking date at reception was wrong, they expected us a day later. It was fixed though. Also the verandah hadn’t been swept, so it was covered in sand and we always try and keep where we stay as clean as possible, so arriving and trying not to put sand “inside” was a pain. All good I found a broom and swept it myself. Everything else was perfect. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Unit was spacious and had everything you need. Contact with owner was all good as well. Wonderful few days to reset. Highly recommend.

nice place to visit
The property was clean & tidy however is getting a little dated. The water pressure in the shower was very poor & the lighting was poor given the amount of fixtures (needs brighter bulbs). Appliances all seemed functional however we did not use the spa bath due to the time it would have required to fill it with the water pressure. i would also suggest a hose/shower outside to rinse off after beach time. Very close to all ammenities at the resort & a short work to the beach. All in all we had a great time on the island.

Terrific place
I hadnt been to Fraser in 20 years and my family had never been. It truly is a remarkable place and we will be back soon. This residence is well located and priced. It could do with some new lighting and a bit of a freshner inside however the beds and place is still very good.
