Guest Reviews:

- "Perfect location." - "The units were well furnished and we had all we needed for a lovely week at Fraser. A most enjoyable time." - "Great location, simple accommodation, clean, great managers, only thing missing was some storage in bedrooms (cupboard or draws) camp kitchen was easy" - "We are usually campers but we enjoyed staying in accomodation as we were on K’Gari for our sons wedding. The wedding dinner was at the Retreat (Pub) and so it was very convenient. Having most of our family share the side by side units and sharing the outside kitchen worked very well."

Might not be as nice in bad weather due to majority of time spent in the communal outdoor kitchen dining area. Phone reception in the area not great but kinda nice to help you ‘switch off’! Would stay again."
