"The resort main facilities were meticulously cleaned every day because of the fact that nature is encouraged. We had a problem in the room though with mustiness and that lack of use smell. otherwise we had a great time." - Kylie Reynolds
"The resort was great but the Ssand Bar restaurant was very busy with day trippers. Hard to get food.
Also, it was hard to believe what bad shape the "road" was that went back over the island.
Otherwise, very nice." - Krista Carrere
"If staying on Fraser Island I would definitely recommend staying at Kingfisher." - Ken Owens
"Very nice place to stay for a few days, the only thing to complain is the prices - almost everything is a bit overpriced, you can not enjoy it at full. Living not far from the Island you can not afford it more often. Too pricy." - Natalia Kapitonova
