What to bring with you:

NO LINEN IS SUPPLIED you will need to bring these with you! Sleeping bags are not acceptable. Cleaning fee will be added if protectors are left soiled or dirty.
You will need to bring your own bed linen (Top /bottom sheets, pillowcases), your towels, personal items, toilet rolls, garbage bags, matches/lighter, food, cooking oils, condiments, and drinks.
We do provide pillows, comforters, and blankets for your stay, a toilet roll in each bathroom & a garbage bag. We provide dishwashing liquid, chux, and a scourer for the kitchen. There are bathmats for each bathroom and a tea towel for your use so no need to bring these.


Power:
The house runs solely off SOLAR POWER with a backup generator, because of this there are to be NO toasters, hairdryers/straighteners, car fridges, rice cookers, air fryers, pie makers, etc anything with a heating element as these can NOT be used as they draw too much power and will trip the solar power to the property, we suggest you only use what is supplied. We do not have air conditioning or heating like most other houses on the island, these use too much power if this is a requirement a hotel would be best.
We kindly ask that you please be mindful of power usage at all times, especially on cloudy days and we kindly ask that you turn all lights, fans, and plug sockets off such as phone chargers when they are not in use and when you are out for the day as these will draw down the power, also leaving lights on overnight will draw down the power bank and it may leave you without power until the backup kicks in.

Water: The house runs solely off tank water which is filtered and safe to drink.
PLEASE DO NOT WASH CARS, there is a car wash at the back of the resort you can use.
Other things to be noted:

All Rubbish needs to be disposed of when leaving and the property left clean and tidy, or cleaning fee will apply.

Please note: The Granny flat at the back of the house may be occupied or accessed by the hosts or maintenance people during your stay when maintenance, solar, etc needs attention, you will usually be notified if this is the case.

Please note:*Critters such as: ants, spiders, mosquitos, moths, flies, and many other things are native to this area and it is typical *INSIDE or AROUND ALL homes* on the island to have an occasional sighting of any of these small creatures especially when doors are opening and closing.

Fabulous Fraser Island Retreat
Lovely clean property in a great area Option to have sheets and towels would be a great option when you travel from abroad. Salt and pepper and oil would also be a great addition as would spare toilet roll. Otherwise great pad to explore Fraser.

Great spot
We had 3 couples staying at the house. It is in a great location to get to all places on the island. It was very clean and exactly as described. The house was a great place to relax after a day driving around. Everyone was comfortable sleeping and there is also a single bed in the room with the double bed. Very happy with the communication from the owner. Would stay there again.

Great base to explore from
Really good base to explore the island from. Clean and tidy and beds were comfortable. Solar power system worked seamlessly and it had really good appliances (e.g. bbq and stove top etc.. - although grill didn't seem to work) and mostly good crockery and knives etc (the cutlery was a bit basic and different sized wine glasses and cups could be addressed). The only other real improvement I could think of is supplying bath towels and bath mats (or at a minimum at least bath mats as this is a bit weird to have to bring away on holiday) and to make sure things like soap dispensers are not nearly run out. With all of that said, I would definitely stay there again and just use my experience to know what to bring to fill a few gaps. Thanks for the stay!

This cute little house was neat & clean, simple but had everything you'd need, plus great location just near Eurong Resort - it was perfect for our 3 night stay.
