About this property

Sapphire Villa 535- Kingfisher Bay Resort, K'gari (Fraser Island) Qld, Australia

Our one bedroom + loft villa is surrounded by native bush land with easy access to everything the island has to offer. It is just a short walk to the beach and jetty for those beautiful Queensland sunsets.

Situated on the World Heritage Listed K'gari Island explore spectacular natural sites and sounds via tours, using your own 4WD or rent one and have your own adventure. The villa is adjacent to the award winning Kingfisher Bay resort so you can access the resorts many restaurants and sports / tours packages and expert rangers who can answer all your questions about the island.

The villa is great for couples that want that extra space and privacy that comes with being nestled in the treetops or for families with young adventurers who can navigate to the loft bedroom (The loft bedroom is recommended for children from 8+ years that can safely negotiate a loft staircase).

Enjoy a homemade breakfast on the deck or after a day exploring, enjoy the bush views with a long cold drink.

The Villa is an island retreat and sure beats glamping. We offer the best value for money in the resort. The villa is equipped with:
- Fully equipped kitchen and dishwasher
- Air conditioning
-Internet
- Full laundry facilities
- Colour TV
- Fire TV
- Wifi (Island style - a little slow)
- Bath/shower
- Hair dryer
- Iron
- BBQ (byo bottle)
- Portacot
- Maximum occupancy: 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 children (suitable for children from 8-14 years)

The resort is accessible via ferry / barge so you can bring your own or rented vehicle over. If you elect to walk on to the ferry / barge it's a simply walk on the ferry and walk to the villa when you arrive at the jetty. Book as soon as you confirm your trip so you get the time you want.

Welcome to K'gari - we hope you enjoy all it has to offer as much as we do.

FAQ's ;
1) Where is the villa located? Once you arrive at the resort drive to the one and only roundabout and head up the hill. The second road in the right is William Edwardson Lane. Go up William Edwardson and we are the second set of villas. Go to 535 and get the keys from the lock box.

2) Is their a BBQ? Yes there is. It is a BYO bottle though.

3) Do I have to clean the villa before I leave? No but we ask guests to strip the sheets, tidy up the unit, leave the dishes washed and empty the garbage.

4) Do we get access to the resort facilities? Yes - all of them are available to you. Payable services can be charged to your credit card and the great advice from the rangers at the resort reception is excellent (and at no charge!).

5) What should I do about groceries and alcohol? We suggest you buy that on the mainland. The best place for groceries is of course in Hervey Bay but there is a Foodworks (and a bottleshop) 700 meters from the Airport. In a pinch their is IGA at River Heads for groceries only. On the island there is a resort run convenience store with a limited supply of groceries, alcohol. It also has fuel.

The accommodation was really good. Will definitely stay there again. The only issues were no face washers, one set of towels for a week is not really enough, no tissues, there was only one roll of toilet paper, the couches and cushions were musty and the blue blankets were stained and a little smelly

Lovely host with great communication. The villa is lovely however it's a steep walk from all of the resort amenities so it's not the most pleasant thing to do after dinner or a few beverages. Unfortunately, the Aircon in the villa wasn't working and they put in a portable one to cool the villa down. It was extremely noisy and not very effective so our stay wasn't especially comfortable. Very little airflow so really needs fans installed or at least running the split system Aircon for the full duration of time to circulate some air. Villas equipped with everything that you need and is in decent condition.

Excellent villa and location

Very neat and tidy villa, very spacious and excellent resort facilities. Typically have been 4wd campers to K’Gari, this time we decided to forego the camping and super glad we did. Highly recommend this accommodation and host. Thank you :)

Comfortable stay and a good home base

Our stay at the bungalow treehouse at Kingfisher Bay Resort was comfortable and made for a great home base while exploring Fraser Island. The beds were cozy, and we loved unwinding on the balcony, which offered a lovely view of the surrounding nature. The resort’s location made it easy to access all the stunning beaches nearby. However, the treehouse was slightly rundown and the loft was not ideal for young children—it felt too unsafe for them to use, so we opted to sleep downstairs on the couch. Despite this, it was still a pleasant and convenient place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Bender

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 - Zonya, Tom, Jake and Pearl. We bought what we call "Camp Saphire" back in 2004. I happened upon 535 while staying at Kingfsher and that was all it took. We live in Sydney and get there as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

Our little villa is not an investment - it's a life style. This purchase of the villa probably won't appreciate much with time but it is certainly getting more appreciation from us over time. It's cosy, gives access to one of the most wonderful places in the world to explore and provides all the comforts you could desire with a little bit or luxury thrown in. .
