Tangalooma is a hidden gem just over an hour by ferry away from Brisbane. The island resort is fantastic, with tours and activities for everyone. Feeding wild dolphins is incredible! The staff are all wonderful and there is nothing you can fault about the place!

We stayed 2 nights at Tangalooma but could just get towels for one day. New once for the second day would have cost extra ☹️ Would be nice to get clean once for the nights depending on the days you stay.

Staff are enormously friendly but the menu choices are limited and often run out. I think only one or two dishes come without chips. Could use a couple more options. Outlook is beautiful beach is clean and accessible to most.

The hotel was great, activities were excellent. The only down side was the BBQ - they over cooked the fish and it was tough, yes fish tough

We stayed in apartment next to the jetty. Staff are amazing, very helpful. Booking activities were easy. The only downside was the rooms were not very sound proof.

Ideal for 3–day stay with grandchild - room basic but adequate - plenty to do if you’re willing to pay - food options a bit limited - room service non existent but your told that if you read the fine print -

The resort is in an amazing setting. The quality of the resort's amenities was disappointing
Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023

Tangalooma is a beautiful resort on Moreton Island, which unfortunately does not come with any inclusions. Everything is an additional charge. Want to play volleyball? A charge to hire. Want some shade on the beach? $30 to hire a cabana. The beach is beautiful and the resort is really well maintained, clean and relaxed. The food options are lacking, and the only restaurant style option is SO expensive. We probably wont be coming back.

I was very pleasantly surprised. Can’t believe I’ve lived in QLD 20 years and never been here. Will definitely be back.
