Okay Read MoreWhere to Stay on K’gari (Fraser Island): Resorts, Holiday Houses & Beachside Escapes
17th September 2025
Looking for accommodation on K’gari (Fraser Island) that’s a step above camping? You’re in the right place. From award-winning eco resorts to holiday houses and spacious apartments, there’s something for every traveller. Whether you’re seeking a comfortable room for the night, a beachside apartment for the family, or a large villa to host a group, K’gari has you covered on both sides of the island.
Here are AUS Weekend Escapes’ top picks for K’gari accommodation — your island getaway starts here.
Stay on the Western Side – Kingfisher Bay Resort
Step straight into paradise the moment you arrive. Located right where the barge from Hervey Bay docks, Kingfisher Bay Resort is the first stop on K’gari’s tranquil western shore. Whether you bring your own 4WD across, hop on a transfer, or simply walk a few hundred metres from the jetty, you’ll be at one of Australia’s most awarded eco-resorts.
Kingfisher Bay Resort blends seamlessly with its bushland and wetland surrounds while offering hotel rooms, self-contained villas, and spacious holiday houses for couples, families, and groups. The team here goes above and beyond — helping with barge bookings, tours, dining, and adventure planning — making it a true one-stop shop for your island escape.
Experiences range from ranger-guided eco walks and bush tucker tastings to canoe paddles through mangroves. Between July and October, whale-watching cruises also depart from the resort. And when you’re ready to unwind, lagoon-style pools, a day spa, and multiple dining venues (including the famous Sunset Bar overlooking the Great Sandy Strait) await.
Holiday Houses at Kingfisher Bay – Western Side of K’gari
Kingfisher Bay Resort Holiday Houses
If you’re travelling with family or friends and need extra space, the holiday houses on the Kingfisher Bay side are a perfect choice. Just steps from where the Hervey Bay barge arrives, these modern homes combine comfort and convenience with privacy and seclusion.
Ranging from 3–6 bedrooms and sleeping up to 15 guests, each home comes fully equipped with kitchens, verandas, air-conditioning, and spacious living areas. Set among lush bushland with views across the Great Sandy Strait, they’re ideal for group getaways.
The best part? Guests still have full access to all Kingfisher Bay Resort facilities — including pools, restaurants, ranger activities, and marine tours. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the privacy of a holiday house while still having resort perks at your doorstep.
Stay on the Eastern Side – K’gari Beach Resort on 75 Mile Beach
If you want to be right in the heart of the action, K’gari Beach Resort is your base on the famous 75 Mile Beach. Conveniently located beside the bakery and general store (with fuel), this east-coast resort is perfect for both overnight stays and longer adventures.
Guests can choose from resort rooms, spacious apartments, or a self-contained beach house — all within secure, dingo-fenced grounds. With ample 4WD parking, a car wash, lagoon pool, McKenzie’s on 75 Restaurant & Bar, and a relaxed family vibe, the resort has everything you need to recharge.
Even campers on the island often stop in here for a night or two — to let the kids enjoy the pool, grab a proper meal, and reset before hitting the tracks again. The team can also help with barge bookings, tours, and reservations, making your stay smooth and stress-free.
