Transportation to the Kingfisher Bay Resort is via...

Transportation to the Kingfisher Bay Resort is via a 40 minute ferry ride from Hervey Bay. If you book all your transfers through the hotel, you won't have to work out how to get to the resort once you arrive at Hervey Bay airport.

When we got to the hotel reception for check-in, the staff member there ignored us even though we lined up in the Accor Plus priority queue. After we had been waiting a while, Ranger Tess was nice enough to check us in. I later found out that the reception staff member was Kat from the UK and was apparently the Duty Manager. Other reception staff that we met during our stay such as Marc was helpful and Elvie was friendly.

Our room was a good size and had large glass doors which opened out to a balcony with two outdoor chairs. The bathroom had the shower over the bath and the bathroom window had no window coverings. A screen outside the room provide some privacy.

In the main resort area there are two pools and two restaurants, the Maheno and the Seabelle Restaurant. Near the beach, you'll find two other pools and the Sunset Bar and the Sand Bar.

The Rangers conduct activities, some of them at a cost and some are at no charge. The Rangers are very knowledgeable and friendly. We participated in the Beach and Mangrove walk with Ranger Adam and the Bush Tucker walk with Ranger Anne. Both these activities were free. We also went on the guided Canoe Paddle with Ranger Jay. This activity was $30 per person. I would recommend that anyone staying at the resort participate in some of the walks/tours listed in their 'What's On' guide.

Other things you can do include, but is not limited to, is fishing, hiking or hiring a 4WD and discover the island.

We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at the Kingfisher Bay Resort.
