TGIF Thank God its Fraser Eurong Fraser Island K'Gari

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the stay - the house was fabulous. This is meant to be constructive not critical but the house is very well stocked with lots of pantry items like spices and tea and coffee pods and coffee machine. Lots of games for kids and adults. Lots of toilet paper hand soap and bath mat and hand towels. We brought all those things over as the listing didn’t mention having these things and being remote we didn’t want to get stuck. Given we had to fit everything into the car on the ferry we were packed to the hilt but probably didn’t need to bring all that stuff over. We also were expecting to do a full clean as it said self cleaning but the cleaning list was pretty basic. Worth updating the listing to include this and possibly including some more detailed photos too. Other than all that we really enjoyed our time the kids loved all the games and the set up location etc was fantastic."
