Thank you Helen. Glad you enjoyed your stay. The pool table is great fun, nice to have spaces for everyone, games, tv, or enjoying sunsets on the back deck. Look forward to hosting you on your next Fraser Island adventure. Pleasure having you stay with us.
Beautiful house with everything you would need including electric beaters prefect for our pancakes.
Lots of chairs and tables. The 11 of us were able to sit together and eat, then we had plenty of room to seperate when we needed our own space.
Pool table was a hit. Seperate TV upstairs and downstairs was great.
Thanks for letting us stay.
Would recommend this property.

Hello Deb,
Sorry to hear that, had you let us know we could have replaced it with the new spare coffee machine we had in store at the property. It is always a good idea to report these things straight away because most things can be addressed very quickly. Glad to know that besides that everything else was perfect for you then.
Regards

Thank you Rachelle. Glad you enjoyed your stay at Waiuta Retreat and look forward to hosting you again. Have a great 2023.
An amazing stay on K’gari, Fraser Island. Spectacular views, surrounded by bush land. Great house, big enough for everyone, good kitchen, spacious deck, comfortable bedrooms.
Our group had an excellent stay at this house. The deck has an amazing outlook - it’s at the very top of the hill and is quite secluded. Great to have the bedrooms upstairs and kitchen downstairs so the kids can sleep well. Plenty of space for cars and the portacot, high chair, baby bath, little tables and heaps of toys were very useful!
Excellent location to base your adventures on Fraser Island. Great views down through kingfisher bay. The house had everything we needed, nice quiet area, was very clean and Deborah was a great host.

Was a pleasure to host Phil and his group. Perfect guests treating Waiuta Retreat as his own and we would welcome Phil back anytime. Thanks again Phil.
The Waiuta Retreat is such a beautiful house with the bedrooms located up stair away from the kitchen and entertainment area, we were taken back with how much utensils and furniture was in the house there was no limit to what we could make for dinner and appreciated the BBQ area along with the various outdoor settings, this place far exceeded our expectations definitely will be booking again. Thank you so much Deborah your retreat is beautiful!
This was our first visit to Fraser and are so glad we stayed here. Perfect location in the resort, amazing views, large house with everything you need. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Thanks Deborah!
House has great layout, beds were really comfy, after camping in a tent on Fraser last time, having a good showers and luxury of aircon was amazing, will definitely be renting a house of same quality again.
Perfect place for a large group. Bedrooms are all upstairs with the deck and kitchen is downstairs and lots of separate areas if you need some quiet time. The ability to use the resort facilities at the end of the day is great to have, and its a 1 minute drive down the hill to the main part of the resort.
