Peace and quiet and nature at its best
It’s all in the Title, absolutely enjoyable in every way. Cannot fault anything at all. Would recommend to anyone who wants to walk with The wild life at its finest. Relaxing on the veranda was so nice, peaceful and private. Read a book and relax so easily managed. Plenty of birds were all around every afternoon, thy were friendly and loved to eat the bird feed when it was sprinkled around the ground. There were water bowls in the front and back yards for the birds to drink from and some birds splashed around in.

A wonderful location with lots of wildlife!
The Birdhouse was just as it was named, the large flyscreened verandah meant we could spend most of our stay where we were at the accomodation out in the elements, taking in the huge variety of animals that came past. Peaceful and quiet, and in a good location away from the main noise of the island, close to lots of nature walks and a quick swim.

Good stay
We enjoyed our stay at the 'Bird House'/Island tank Avairy for a few days of relaxation. Compact, but everything there. We did experience the full range of Queensland weather - sun, rain, heat, cold over the week but were comfortable. Only drawback was the biting insects.
