Southern Great Barrier Reef Kid friendly Holidays

Booked an ocean view room. Got a ground floor garden room which was a nice apartment. Remote didn’t work in bedroom for TV. Had to use wifi in the lounge room for the TV cause the aerial didn’t work. Everything was clean. Designated parking was good. Front door was hard to close.

The apartment was lovely and had a great view. If you intend to walk around the area, be aware that the street is VERY steep. It was fine for us but maybe not for others.

To say this stay was phenomenal would be an understatement! We weren’t sure exactly what to expect on the island before we arrived but we were pleasantly surprised by everything. Travel was very easy on the ferry with a prearranged ticket and a person to greet us on Heron Island. We were then picked up on the beach on Heron Island, where we had a fun 20 minute boat ride to Wilson. We were there during sea turtle mating season, so sunrise, evening, and night were amazing with the amount of turtles we were able to enjoy. The accommodations were wonderful with one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. The tent was very comfortable with a nice breeze from the ocean at night so we were never too hot or cold. The food was absolutely amazing to the point my wife has continued to say how much she misses Nick even after returning home. T-bone steak for dinner, duck for lunch, a beautifully presented plate of scallops for a sunset appetizer, just to name a few of the amazing dishes. Nick even prepared a spread of DIY Vegemite, bread and butter for us since we were jet lagged and waking up well before breakfast. It took us over 36 hours of travel to get there and we would immediately get on a flight to return if we could, even if just for a couple more days of paradise.

3 star hotel at best, knowhere near worth the money they are asking.

View of the water, great location.
