Great property.

Large home with plenty of space. Great kitchen. Loved the huge dining table. Awesome bedroom configuration. Lounges weren't very comfortable but the mattresses were, which I think is more important. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Orchid Beach Family Holiday April 2024

Hakuna Matata is well positioned and easily accessible. All the amenities required for the perfect family holiday on Fraser Island. Large kitchen and dining area to accommodate the whole family, large outdoor area to enjoy an afternoon drink and watch the kids as they play on the large grassed area in the safe fenced area of Orchid Beach. Short drive to Waddy Point to watch the perfect sunrises and sunsets. We will definitely be back!

Anzac Day Experience

Was a wonderful 5 day stay, the house had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable. Only downside was the time you could use the washing machine. We spent most of the day out exploring, so if you could do a load of washing around 7.30 am it would of been a great with so many people in the house. Will be returning

Great location !

This was in a great location. House was big enough for our 3 families. Owner was great when we had to call him as we ran out of gas and had it sorted quickly. The house is basic, bathrooms are old and tired. Shower head needs replacing as it’s rusty. Shower curtains needs replacing as there were mould spots The beds were comfortable. Kitchen was functional and had everything we needed ( except for a sharp knife ) We loved the big indoor dining table and outdoor table as all of us could eat together Large fish cleaning station was great and big BBQ so we could cook all the meat at once All in all was a nice holiday

Basic accomodation but well appointed

Two families shared this property of which we fit well. Plenty of table seating inside and outside to cater 11 people. Kitchen is well appointed. This is a basic property but future guests should be prepared if staying in summer the shed home is unbearably hot so please take battery fans as sleep is impossible. Communication with owner was good. 3 lights were not working. Light bulbs were delivered for one outside light which we would have had to pull apart to replace but not the lights we needed more.. Maintenance required which would have helped our stay included - mown lawns, grass was overgrown attracting mosquitos, -fire pit was overflowing with tree branches to the point we didn’t realise it was a fire pit - undercover clothes line would have been very helpful in rain -the lounges are old and have had broken bases so are replaced with uncomfortable wooden boards to sit on - not sufficient washing detergent or toilet paper supplied for the week - no towel rails in the bathroom Overall a basic comfortable property for say a men’s fishing trip . It’s not suited to a hot summer stay without taking battery fans etc but was clean inside.

Comfy little Orchid beach home stay

Very reasonable accommodation, clean and tidy. Requires you to be concious around water and power usage due to having tank water and solar power only. It didn't really effect us but be sure to take a battery fan during warm weather. Location made it a little difficult to travel around the island but that was more to do with tides. We had 7 people in our crew and found it comfortable and value for money, we would probably stay a little further south next time or plan to move around the island to assist with seeing all the sites. But if you are looking to just relax and spend sometime in the one place, it would be perfect. The host Christopher replied to all our emails prior to arrival and was accommodating to our change or plans during the time leading up to the stay. Thank you Christopher, we all had a great time
