Independent in Whitsundays from AU$113

"Palm Bay is a secluded resort nestled in Long Island,,,in fact it’s the only resort that is habitable. There is an abandoned resort property on the island as well. Palm Bay cottages are lovely and very roomy. Beds are comfortable. The restaurant is good…it’s the only place to eat on the island. We didn’t appreciate that it wasn’t feasible to take a water taxi anywhere else (say Airlie Beach) to dine because the last water taxi coming back to the resort is around 4:45 pm from Shute Harbour, and the cost for a return fare on the water taxi is about $115 per person—-very pricey. Staff is friendly, kind and courteous. You’ll run into locals such as wallabies, curlews and cockatiels as you hike on a couple of the trails. The trails are rather rough and rocky—bring a walking stick and good walking shoes."
