About this property

Salty Towers Fraser Island

Salty Towers is a three bedroom pole home located in the quiet Second Valley of Happy Valley on the eastern side of Fraser Island. It is the perfect central location to access all of the attractions and features of beautiful World Heritage Listed Fraser Island.

Salty Towers is ideal for a large family or two families as each bedroom on the main level has a queen bed and there are six single beds in the loft.

The house has polished timber floors and polished timber cathedral ceilings giving the house a warm feeling all year round.

From the lounge and the deck enjoy views to the ocean. It is a short 200m walk to the actual surf beach.

At night enjoy the display of stars as you benefit from the lack of pollution, both in the air and from light.

Salty Towers is deigned to be self contained so has the cooking and dining facilities needed including stove with oven, microwave, electric toaster and gas bbq.

It is only a short walk through the cutting to Fraser Island Retreat where the Shop, Bar and Bistro are located.

Being Fraser Island power is supplied by a solar system that charges batteries providing 24 hour power through an inverter. This does limit what appliances can be operated. The power system will run chargers for laptops, cameras and the like but please do not bring hair dryers.

Linen is not supplied and most guests choose to bring their own linen. We do require that linen be used. We define linen as two sheets and pillow cases and does not include sleeping bags. Linen can be hired by prior arrangement through the Fraser Island Retreat. Hired linen is collected with the house keys. Failure to use linen causes us to incur substantial additional costs which will be backcharged to the tenant. We also reserve the right to cancel a booking that does not use linen.
There are pillows and blankets.

Salty Towers is in the small community of Happy Valley which has limited resources. Guests are required to leave the house clean. To assist cleaning materials are supplied.
Failure to leave the house clean will result in an additional charge to the responsible guest.

The calendar is kept up to date as best we can. When an enquiry for a booking is sent we aim to respond quickly and once the booking is confirmed by payment of the deposit the dates requested are locked into the calendar. We require a deposit within 7 days to confirm the booking. The normal deposit is 50%.
Bookings through HomeAway meet this requirement.
Additional time to pay can be made by prior arrangement with the owners. Balance is payable 4 weeks prior to arrival.

Bookings through HomeAway are subject to the Stayz Cancellation Policy.
However where impacted by border closures, or island closures such as during the Covid lockdown and bushfires in 2020, full refunds are provided.

House was comfortable with all that we needed. A tv would have been nice though. Plenty of room to park our vehicles. Good view over the water. Bit rough around the laundry and drying area. Overall, it was good. Close to resort, just a short walk.

Amazing location
We had an amazing time staying at Salty Towers. Perfect location, close to the Happy Valley general store, pub and petrol station. The decking area was our go to place for breakfast and evening drinks. Very suitable accommodation for families to stay. The only issue for us was no air conditioning. If there was air conditioning, that would have made our stay a 10+. We definitely will be coming back to Salty Towers if we come back to K'gari (Faser Island). We will also be recommending Salty Towers to our friends and family.
