3 bedroom, 1full bathroom, 1 toilet outside, self-contained house.

Castaways on Fraser is situated in a quiet area at second valley Eurong on the eastern beach side of K’Gari (Fraser Island). It is approximately 5-minute walk to the beach and is close enough to walk to Eurong Resort restaurant, bar and shop. It is also a convenient drive to K’Gari (Fraser Islands) beautiful attractions, such as rainforest, lakes and central station.

The House:

The house has three bedrooms can sleep 6 people.

Bedroom 1 - Queen Size Bed

Bedroom 2 – Queen Size Bed

Bedroom 3 – Double Size Bed.



The lounge/dining area has Satellite TV. PLEASE NOTE THE WEATHER CAN AFFECT THE FREE TO AIR TV SIGNAL SO IT IS NOT ALWAYS GUARANTEED. There is NO DVD player at the house or WiFi. Dining table with 6 stools, 3 & 2-seater lounge (THESE ARE NOT BEDS)


The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas stove/oven, a large electric fridge/freezer. All utensils are supplied – pots, pans, crockery, and cutlery.

Laundry – Has a small washing machine to use on COLD WASH only, please shake sand and heavy mud off before using machine.

There are ceiling fans/Pedal stool fan and insect screens throughout the house and security screens on front door and laundry door. The house runs off Gas for the hot water and cooking this can run out unexpectedly at times, please notify us asap and we will get someone to change over the gas bottle as soon as possible.

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.

You agree that the maximum number of guests on and in the property must not exceed 6 people, if found to be more guests at the house you will be evicted immediately with no refund!

Any damages found upon your check in needs to be reported to host within 24hrs of check in, if not known or notified by host about prior to check in.

No swags or tents to be set up on property.


Keep noise to a minimum from 10pm for neighbouring residents. Absolutely No parties or loud music/noise, if you want to do this please take this down to the beach away from residents!


NO LINEN IS PROVIDED

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. Please keep in mind you are booking a trip in Queensland with many wildlife around. We prepare for such with pest spray etc, but we give no refunds for seeing any of these creatures & want to prepare our guests for what to expect. Please respect nature & accept all that comes with it if booking here. ***Please do not book if this is an issue. We only want you to have a great time*** If there is ever an abundance of ants or other pests inside etc, you can notify us and we can send our handyman to spray for you.

*You may also see Goannas, lizards, and a variety of birds. Please don’t feed them as they will hang around and the cockatoos will pick at the rails and destroy things when nobody is home.

Lovely Fraser Getaway
Our stay at Castaways on Fraser was very enjoyable. We would stay again. The location is furthur away than others from the Island's attractions but the scenic drives make this a small concern.

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!
