Great Fraser Island stay

We had a great time staying in Marks property. The house was perfectly set up and a great space. It isn’t exactly walking distance to Kingfisher Bay as there is a very steep climb and the walk takes around 10-15 minutes, but if you speak to the resort reception you can take the courtesy bus.

Great Location

The house is fantastic and set in a beautiful location. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were good. Communication with the owner was great. The cleanliness of the house was however extremely poor. Bathrooms, floors, windows, the deck and the kitchen were all dirty. We left the house cleaner than when we arrived. Considering the cost, we expected better.

Beautiful House but unclean and run down

This was the second time we had stayed at Kingfisher Heights but in two different houses. We had high expectations based on the pictures of the house and our first stay. With the experience I have in the travel & tourism industry, I am used to reviewing properties. Unfortunately, Sandy Escape did not meet expectations. The following were the main issues: - The property was quite unclean with piles of dirt left in the downstairs bathroom. - We advised there would be 10 adults staying but were only provided with 7 bath towels, even though information states bath towels are provided for all guests. - Only 2 burners on the 6 burner stove work. - The ice or cold water dispenser in the fridge did not work. - The media/tv room on the first floor was very dirty with stains on the couch and the blinds unable to be used due to being damaged. - All floors were very dirty. There is a broom but no dustpan and brush to be able to sweep up the sand/dirt. - Although hand soap containers were in both bathrooms and kitchen, they were empty and we needed to buy soap for them. - No dishwashing liquid was provided to be able to wash dishes. - They do provide dishwasher tablets for the 1 drawer dishwasher. - Not enough plates or cutlery for 10 adults. We were very disappointed with the state of the property and felt that it was a long way from being value for money. We would not be able to recommend this property. It is way overpriced for how it presents presently.

Comfortable stay

Nice place and setting. Decent walk up steep hill to get there. Some basic pantry staples would’ve saved having to pack the kitchen sink. Comfortable beds, plenty of space.

Could not recommend this property at present.

Nice home but attention to cleanliness needs a lot of work. Windows dirty Pillows very stained, Sheets on King bed stained with bleach. Dead flys in all window and door tracks. Bedroom door didn't close so banged all night. think owner needs to visit more often if they want top dollar.

More things can be improved

Floor is not cleaning. Not enough essentials provided for 9 guests, less than 1/3 roll of toleit paper left in each toliet. No proper cleaning cloth in the kitchen and not enough dishwash liquid left for 3 nights. Location is very good, no wifi, but is in the signal coverage

Well below expectations

The property had a nice views of trees, on the other side of the road from the spectacular ocean views, set 15 minutes walk from the resort down (and then up) a steep hill. The beds were all good but the kitchen was very poorly set up with only 7 plates (some chipped) and 7 bowls for a house of 10. Pots and pans were old, falling apart and mostly unusable. Set top box on downstairs tv was broken and DVD player would not work - so the kids tv area wasn't used. The speaker for playing music was was also broken, as well as the flick mixer on the downstairs bathroom. The communications with the owner was patchy, with issues being disputed, rather than resolved. Overall, the property had potential if it was better cared for and some money spent on basics, but unfortunately in its current state it doesn’t represent decent value for money.

Great holiday house

The house is conveniently located within Kingfisher Bay Resort. The owner is responsive and only a phone call / text away. The house fit our travel group of eight perfectly (four adults and four kids aged 2-5). The indoor fireplace was a lovely touch for cool winter evenings. We had a great time and would definitely consider staying in this property again.

We loved the house and relaxing on the deck. Lots of space for our group. Was great being close to the resort, the kids loved the pools there. Spent everyday exploring the island and coming home to relax. Thank you

good not great.

a house able to sleep 10 people should have a dishwasher! This is a big fail. Also no fans or aircon means hot days are hotter than they should be. BBQ on deck ran out of gas after one use so this obviously wasn't checked and filled for our stay. All the utensils plates cups were dirty and we had to wash them b4 using. Nothing in the way of extra blankets or pillow etc. Overall it was basic. Could find better value for money elsewhere. Too expensive all things considered.

Fantastic Fraser House

Thank you Mark for a wonderful house on Fraser Island. The house was amazing, everything was catered for. Perfect spot for a relaxing holiday with the family. We made good use of the bbq and the kitchen facilities. The beds are very comfortable with clean bathrooms. Spent our nights on the deck admiring the scenic view. We really enjoyed our time on Fraser, very hard to leave such a wonderful place and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Island home from home

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. Comfortably accommodated our two families with everything you need. Great to explore the island and come back to a comfortable nights sleep, ready to do it all again the next day. Full access to Kingfisher Resort facilities, swimming pool, bars, restaurants. We visited Eurong, Ngkala Rocks, Champagne Pools and Lake mcKenzie. Would highly recommend and Renee was lovely to deal with!
