What guests think

Across recent reviews of Kingfisher Bay Resort, travellers highlight the stunning K’gari setting, relaxing vibe, friendly staff and standout rangers, enjoyable pools and tours, alongside recurring concerns about cleanliness inconsistencies, staffing constraints, and dining that can feel limited or pricey.

Villas are often spacious and comfortable, though some guests reported dated interiors and maintenance issues like noisy fans or troublesome showers. The remote island location delivers memorable sunsets, wildlife and guided experiences, and it shapes on-site logistics. Expect a scenic, low-key nature escape focused on natural highlights rather than polished luxury.

Kingfisher Resort offered most things, we were disappointed that one of the pools was closed. One of the restaurants (Sand Bar and Bistro) was also closed. This left limited options for meal times. Staff were turning people away from the main Sand and Wood restaurant and advising people to go to Dune instead. This was despite only four tables being occupied! Not good when you have only just arrived.

From mainland check in to departure, this resort had friendly and helpful staff from around the world. It’s carefully landscaped gardens and lagoons bring an abundance of wildlife. At night time the orchestra of frogs is beautiful to listen to. The lagoon style pool is fabulous. There are three eateries with different moods to cater to all tastes. The highlight was the beauty spot day tour to Lake Mackenzie, Eli Creek and the Pyramids. A well equipped day spa and general store make this is a relaxing break. It’s beautiful,

This was a wonderful place to stay. It’s set in native bushland, with lots of boardwalks and formed tracks through the property. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda watching birds and lizards, swimming in the lovely pools and watching the sunsets. There are also a number of excursions to explore the island from the property, and a small shop with plenty of supplies. Highly recommended!

We were pleasantly surprised by our two bedroom villa, being privately owned meant there was more outdoor furniture and a modern kitchen, bathroom. The resort has great facilities and makes for such a relaxing holiday when the kids are happy! The sunsets are next level and soo much wildlife to be seen off the jetty. We will be back!

Mixed feedback: many rooms and villas were very clean, but others reported dirty or unprepared rooms, damp or mould smells, ants, and cloudy pools. Housekeeping frequency felt insufficient to some.

We were extremely excited for this trip, but unfortunately the resort is just mediocre. We stayed in the villa #614 (privately owned and administered by the resort) and, while we'll thought out, we had to contend with some of the worst mattresses we had ever experienced in our lives (think a 15yo mid-level Ikea mattress). The couch was also in a terrible state, so we may have been unlucky there. The it comes the restaurants, and we tried all three. Dune (the more expensive one) was pretty adequate, but the other two were not. Mediocre breakfast, domino's-like pizza, and it ended up taking up some time to find a few good dishes (Onion rings, Korean chicken, nachos and fish and chips at Sand and Wood). Finally, the pools were permanently cloudy with people behaving like animals without any interference from resort personnel. It is easy to say that it is not really worth the price.

Le ménage n’est pas fait tous les jours alors que l’île est une île uniquement de sable, difficile de ne pas rapporter de sable dans la chambre. La vue n’était pas agréable et le personnel n’a pas accédé à notre demande de changement de chambre alors que l’hôtel n’était pas complet en cette saison hivernale. Dommage car il y a du potentiel pour que ce soit bien mieux

Really nice place to stay when visiting K´Gari. The room was nice but smelled a little bit of mould. Big bathroom with a big nice window. The restaurant closest to the pool was disturbed from kids playing and shouting. When we asked for another table the staff couldn't help us. The full day excursion was on the other hand awesome!

Keys were provided on check in. Upon walking in, the apartment was filthy, dirty towels, sheets on the floor. Bathroom and kitchen not clean. They gave me a new room. The new room had issues. Disgusting mould and rust in the kettle, all the air con units, and bathrooms. Ants were present in the main bedroom from the air con to the bed. Stains on the floor. No coffee or tea supplies. The food at the venue was amazing. Service was generally ok, but could be better. Lots of confusion around what Accor benefits are applicable, and upon being given a free drink voucher, they refused to give a pint of beer (despite the voucher not being clear on size). Overall a poor experience and not likely to recommend. Expensive cost for a facility that is quite dated and showing its age.

The only good thing was the prawn platter at sunset bar but the poor bar man do on his own and i didnt get my playter till everyonr left and it was dark. Kind of missed the point of sunset canopies. Sand and dune carbonara was disgusting. Pork belly salad good. Would not return for the price and qualitybof the hotel

Liked the property, it was in pretty good condition. We realize there are extra costs being on an island, but we found the prices of the food and drinks to be a little high. The room was in pretty good condition the shower floor was missing the seals, and the toilets for some reason difficult to get to flush, exhaust fans didn't seem to work well,beds and pillows were comfortable. Staff were friendly. Overall a good escape.

Also the resort itself is inland and has no good views (although is sat in a forest which is cool!)

Due to the amount guests and the ratio of staff, we witnessed on many occasions the staff being spoken to poorly by guests. The current management should look to look increase the amount of people on shift or reduce the number of guests able to stay during the current staff shortages.

All the resort staff we met were friendly, keen to help and knowledgeable. The resort Rangers were exceptional, we attended 5 guided walks and talks about K'gari's plants and animals and geology. Each Ranger was extremely knowledgeable about their subject matter, and communicated in a clear and engaging style with a wide range of people who attended the activities However, the general condition of the resort was less than expected, and bordered on being "tired". Money needs to be spent of improving the resort centre and the rooms in our opinion The on-site food outlets were expensive for the quality offered, while the "village" shop price gauged by 30%+ compared to shops on the mainland
