The villa we stayed in was fantastic it was comfortable homy had everything you could need or want and was a short walk to restaurants bars and pools my family and I loved it would definitely stay here again
Great place to end the day after exploring the island
A beautiful villa with comfy beds to come back to after a big day of exploring K’gari. The villa was clean and felt so nice to be in. We loved having access to the resort area too. Highly recommend.
The property was as described, spacious and well located minutes from the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would recommend adding some more cutlery, dinner and serve wear to avoid running the dishwasher all the time. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.
Not too far from resort facilities and beach at the end of the road, this well set up unit makes for an easy family holiday. Photos depict a bunk which was not currently there but a sofa bed was fun for kids to watch a movie.
Thank you!
Robyn was a great communicator from our initial booking right through the end of our stay. The villa was located close to all amenities and in a quieter area of the resort which we had preferred. Appreciated the well equipped kitchen which had sufficient kitchenware for a family of 4. Thanks, Robyn!

Very comfortable stay for 4 adults and one child,
Few things missing from the kitchen, couple of wooden spoons; a pair scissors; and a few more Tupperware like containers plus a pair of oven gloves.
But my main concern was when I used the Large double handled saucepan with the lid; the whole saucepan and handles became extremely hot to handle. This nearly caused me to burn myself when I removed the lid and tried to lift the saucepan off the stove. Overall we had a great 4 night stay.

Kingfisher Stay
We had a lovely 3 night stay. My review isn’t all 5 Star simply because when we turned up the booking date at reception was wrong, they expected us a day later. It was fixed though. Also the verandah hadn’t been swept, so it was covered in sand and we always try and keep where we stay as clean as possible, so arriving and trying not to put sand “inside” was a pain. All good I found a broom and swept it myself. Everything else was perfect. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Unit was spacious and had everything you need. Contact with owner was all good as well. Wonderful few days to reset. Highly recommend.

Hi David I’m so glad you had a wonderful stay. I was disappointed that the booking wasn’t put in correctly and thanks for letting me know about the sand. It is a brand new deck so I will pass this on to housekeeping.
Thanks
The property was clean & tidy however is getting a little dated. The water pressure in the shower was very poor & the lighting was poor given the amount of fixtures (needs brighter bulbs). Appliances all seemed functional however we did not use the spa bath due to the time it would have required to fill it with the water pressure. i would also suggest a hose/shower outside to rinse off after beach time.
Very close to all ammenities at the resort & a short work to the beach. All in all we had a great time on the island.
I hadnt been to Fraser in 20 years and my family had never been. It truly is a remarkable place and we will be back soon. This residence is well located and priced. It could do with some new lighting and a bit of a freshner inside however the beds and place is still very good.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here at the Happy Gecko Villa. It was clean, spacious and the eco design with cross-ventilation is so effective and made our stay even more enjoyable. It was a great base for our family of five, would definitely stay here again!
