About this property

Tangalooma Resort Hilltop Studio Room

Relax on the deck enjoying panoramic views over the ocean. The studio features - lounge, queen bed, bar fridge and microwave.
Sleeps 2 but you may squeeze a child on the sofa bed.


You can walk to the Resort using the steps opposite the house (6 min walk at medium pace) or drive down in your 4WD or use the rental golf buggy available at the resort. Whichever way you go it only takes a few minutes to the beach.
Even though the room has a microwave, kettle and bar fridge, it is set up like a hotel room where you have most of your meals at the multiple resort restaurants and coffee shops.

You have free usage of all resort facilities like pools, tennis, squash and other activities . (Note- Dolphin feeding incurs a fee)

TRANSFER
I recommend booking a $15 taxi transfer so you don’t initially have to carry bags up to your room. It will meet you at boat

Away from the crowds

My parents thoroughly enjoyed their stay at this studio. The location was perfect for them, offering a peaceful retreat away from the crowds.Communication with Anthony was exceptional. He was incredibly responsive and even checked in to ensure my parents arrived safely.While the view is slightly obstructed by some unexpected construction, it didn't significantly impact their enjoyment. It's clear this was an unforeseen situation that Anthony couldn't have predicted.Overall, we highly recommend this studio for a relaxing getaway

Awesome little getaway

Way more affordable than the hotel and probably nicer. It was nice to have a huge air conned unit all to ourselves and it felt very private. 15 minute walk up from the beach (unless you rent the buggy its a good leg work out but i never minded). Tony was lovely to communicate with and very helpful. Thanks Tony! One tip from me is that if you stay here, don't bother booking in the dolphin feeding experience. Instead, stand on the jetty at 6:30 and get a good spot to watch from above. Way better and less crowded.

5/5 Stars - Fantastic Host and Location

We had an incredible stay thanks to Tony's exceptional hospitality! He went above and beyond, treating us to a complimentary taxi ride from the Jetty terminal, making our check-in a breeze. Throughout our stay, Tony ensured our comfort and made us feel right at home. The studio's location is perfection - nestled in a prime spot with all amenities just a stone's throw away. The breathtaking views were the icing on the cake! We highly recommend Tony's accommodation to anyone seeking a seamless and enjoyable experience. Thank you, Tony, for your kind hospitality and outstanding service!

Some improvements: towel rails in bathroom, a small table inside, crockery (plates & bowls, only coffee cups provided). Cutlery provided were teaspoons, dessert spoons, forks but no knives. A TV. A step to access the deck from the ground. The bed was very comfortable and the shower excellent, although no shelf to put shampoo etc.

3rd stay and didn’t disappoint

Another 5 night amazing stay at Anthonys place. Unfortunately not as clean on arrival as when visited previously and can understand other’s comments regarding noise as there is an adjoining door with a laundry behind it, a dryer running and doors are often being shut quite loudly during the morning and evening. (A more solid soundproof door would be perfect) But other than that was another great stay. It’s far cheaper than anything else at the resort and the view/sunset in the evenings is priceless so we were happy to tolerate any small issues. Highly recommend taking a 4wd over as you park right out front, we took a small bbq to use on the grass out front take all your own food etc. It’s quite pricey to take your 4wd on the barge but you make your money back instantly by not having to pay for any of the tours. Thanks once again Anthony will be returning once again soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cowry Close. Amazing view and great way to spend a quiet Christmas

A hotel style cabin part of a larger residence. Fantastic view from the front deck. Get a great work out on the steps down to the beach/resort. We utilised the resort and outdoor activity hire, boat hire, fishing gear, snorkeled around wrecks and parasailed. Took snacks with us and ate in restaurants at resort. Fire and Stone Chinese and Vietnamese is a great restaurant. Other restaurants ok. Tony the host was extremely accomodating and helped with an early checkin. We had a great trip and hope to be back. Thanks Tony !!

Clean, spacious room with a spectacular view back towards the mainland. The host Anthony was wonderful to deal with, especially as this was our first trip to Moreton island. A fabulous location to relax and recharge. Short walk to cafe/restaurant at Tangalooma Resort. Great couples getaway!

Not suitable for infants 👶 please read my comments below

Tangalooma island It’s a beautiful picture Holiday resort but has nothing for infants to play with or keep them entertained maybe beach strollers and infants bathing pools with a play ground/room down in the resort area. Our studio apartment was ok but could be better had knives and forks but no plates/bowls for the microwave no complimentary tea bags and a vacuum so we could clean up every day we were there.

great views

nice views across the bay, basic little apartment with some nice touches inc snacks, wine, good toiletries. Whilst, on the whole, I did enjoy my stay, I'm not sure id return, as the neighbours have no respect, very noisy talking loudly till late and running a tumble dryer from 5pm-gone midnight every night - hence not a 5 star review. the accommodation is really a locked-off room in a large shared house
