Goanna Manor at Happy Valley

Our family holiday home at Happy Valley on Fraser Island. Great place to stay on the eastern beach about half way up the island, so handy base to explore K'gari.

The space
Fraser Island is a remote location and presents unique requirements. Before booking your stay you must be fully aware of the limitations and circumstances living "offgrid" and in a remote location. Its our family holiday home, not a inner city penthouse. Power, Water & Facilities are limited, and some basic knowledge of the systems is required.

Max 2 Families - with no more than 8 people total. There is only 1 toilet and 1 shower and limited power outlets for cpap etc. No you cant bring swags, no you cant sleep in a tent in the yard. The house offgrid systems CAN NOT handle more than 8 so please don't ask.
If you turn up with more than 8, I'm sorry but you will be asked to leave :-(

There are items you must bring with you that are not available once you are onsite. Please read the list carefully to ensure the property is suitable for your stay.

1. POWER - Supplied entirely by solar and batteries "offgrid" so only appliances already in the house may be used (USB's for Phone/Tablet charging are provided) ABSOLUTELY NO HAIR DRYERS or ENGEL TYPE FRIDGES ARE TO BE PLUGGED INTO THE HOUSE POWER. CPAP, phone and laptop charging ok. Limited power outlets in bedrooms so call to discuss if required.
2. LINEN - Beds have a doona and pillow supplied. You must bring queen bed linen (sheets and pillowcase) for upstairs bedrooms and 1 double and a single for kids room.
3. FOOD & DRINKS - Bring EVERYTHING. The shop has very limited basic items only. Items are at island prices.
4. PROBLEMS - If any problems arise, (Power issues, water issues, gas issues etc) you must be aware and accept the remoteness of Happy Valley and Fraser Island in general. Basically, what we are saying is there is no 24 concierge or reception available.
5. COMMUNICATIONS - Only Telstra service is available at Happy Valley. 3G internet is sketchy at best. There is Starlink, but being Satellite can also be sketchy.
6. FACILITIES - Gas Stove and Oven. Gas BBQ on verandah. A few old games like monolopy and game of life. There is a TV with VAST Satellite & a DVD player. TV has USB and HDMI and will play most Hard Drives if you have one. Fish cleaning bench.
