    The staff member ( french guy) was very helpful and friendly. He went above and beyond and helped me with how to get spare drone propellers. Life save 100%.

    The only thing I can think of that would the improve the quality of our stay next time is some time and attention to the camp kitchen. The cost for families to visit K’gari is substantial & not everyone can afford to eat out for every meal. Catering to those will keep them coming back.

    Hi there, We had a terrific stay, with comfortable beds & pillows, a clean room and great shower. We were always met with a friendly staff member ready to assist us with any questions or requests!

    Aircon units would have been nice, also a microwave in the room itself. Some more coat hooks around would also have been useful. Some of the windows were a bit fiddly to open and close.

    Location and condition of the rooms was wonderful. Comfy beds with clean linen. Basics in the fridge as well. Very close access to all the main attractions on the island.

    We are a retired couple who were travelling QLD in our 4WD & stayed 2 nights. Locationally, for us, it worked perfectly as it’s situated roughly half way up the eastern coastline of K’gari with close access to/from the beach with the car. We explored Lake Mackenzie on the way up from the barge crossing at Inskip. Next day Eli Creek, shipwreck, Champagne Pools, Orchid Beach & return to FIR. Back to Inskip following day after walk up to Lake Wabby. Ate dinner there both nights which are pretty much hearty pub meals, fine with us. Accommodation was clean, comfortable & tidy. We chose the motel style room which had a separate specific bathroom for us just down the hall, as opposed to a 1 b/r bungalow(obviously more expensive).It’s certainly not 5 star, but we felt FIR represented excellent value for money compared to other alternatives on the island & represented great value for money. Special mention to David & his wife for the hospitality they showed to us during our stay. Should we return to K’gari, we’d stay again.

    Meals were a little pricey for what you get, frozen veg etc. But understandable considering the isolation I guess?

    Room was modern spacious and clean, a credit considering the amount of sand on Fraser. Pool was an added bonus for the kids! We made use of the bbq area for breakfast and a dinner,maybe a hot plate for a pot would be a welcome addition? Staff were friendly and the place had a great atmosphere. Was nice to come back to a warm shower and cold beer after a day of exploring. We’ll be back!!
