  • No high-rises, casinos or crowds, little traffic or shopping. Great beaches, scenery, wildlife & weather.
  • We could have done more if we'd had our own transport.

“We loved our few days there relaxing and unwinding. It's great that it hasn't become all 'tourist'. There are some nice cafes and restaurants, otherwise nightlife is strictly day. The pub has lovely views; I hope it doesn't lose its laidback atmosphere in the redevelopment. Wonderful walks and wildlife, friendly locals. Only drawback was buses not running after about 7pm, which made going out for a meal a bit of a problem. For a great day out take a 4 wheel drive tour with bill - his brochure will be in the rack at your hotel/motel. Very unassuming, hugely knowledgeable and speaks from his love of the island, not a script.”

  • This place doesn't believe in traffic or traffic lights lots of bush land.
  • Customer service for me was limited didn't see much of it.

“This island is so close to Brisbane yet it does not contain one traffic light and no big construction sights it has few high rises and is a very relaxing quite place with tranquil views isn't for the party goers I don't think definitely for those who just want to relax. ”
