Would not recommend
A group of us stayed for 5 nights, on the 3rd night there was quite a large storm and down pour of rain, we got home just in time to get our belongings off the floor before the house flooded (about 6inch of water through the whole house). We understand that the weather is out of the care takers control but when we called bree to let her know what was happening we got the response of “don’t you have towels”. We already had picnic rugs and numerous towels on the floor. We then had to use our personal towels to try mop up the water meaning we had no towels for shower that night. Around 5 minutes after that phone call she barged through the front door without knocking or giving notice that she would be coming to the lodge. We also understand that situation could have been stressful but we found bree to be quite hostile and not polite at all. There was water coming through both front doors, the back door and even through the wall in the background bedroom. We had some of our personal belongings damaged including a laptop, Engel fridge, shoes ect. We had no choice but to clean up the mess left over from the house flooding, no help or assistance was offered. Upon checking out we ensured the house was left clean and tidy despite our experience. We tried to contact Bree in regards to our damaged belongs but she in now not answering any phone calls from us.

We had some issues that were weather related. Bree was great and made herself available which was a big ask considering it was Christmas time. Thanks Bree!

Perfect Base
What a great place to have as a base for our fishing holiday. Everything about this house was well thought out and worked perfectly. The manager Bree couldn't have been more accommodating to any request we had. The house provided everything we needed in the way of cooking,eating and sleeping facilities. We are already planning next year's trip and we will definitely be staying here again next year.

Very happy with the premises and host. Used for fishing trip so perfect for a base. Nice outdoor area for BBQ and taking in the evening sounds - but also a good indoor kitchen. Ticked all the boxes for our purposes

The good and not so good
Good things. Property manager was very friendly and easy to deal with. the shower is hot with good pressure. Not so good. Value for money is not really there with this property. Place could doo with some low power draw pedestal fans. No box freezer as stated would be pain if up for a week long fishing trip. As a last minute booking it was ok for somewhere to eat sleep and shower

Basic and adequate. Bree is Lovely
The check in process was easy. The property main areas were spacious and simple. The cupboards were spacious. The shower is nice and powerful. The property was expensive compared to what our friends have paid in Happy Valley.

An excellent base to explore from.
This accomodation is exactly as advertised. Basic, no frills, easy access to beach and convenience store, a great base to explore all the wonderful areas of Fraser Island. Bree is extremely easy and pleasant to deal with. The kitchen is well stocked and the dining table forms an excellent central living area to spend time with family and friends.

Perfect for our fishing trip
K'gari Lodge perfectly met our needs for basic but comfortable no-frills accommodation, with comfortable beds and a great shower after days of fishing and touring. It was scrupulously clean and tidy on arrival. Located at Happy Valley settlement, there is a cpmbined general store,cafe,restaurant and bar nrarby. Highly recommended for a casual holiday.
