The best dog-friendly cabins in Fraser Island

·

Queensland’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed Fraser Island (K'gari) may be the world’s largest sand island but its landscape offers even more spectacular sights than the giant dunes for which it is famed. The scenery here is dotted with shimmering freshwater lakes, crystal-clear creeks, wind-sculpted cliffs, and lush rainforests, promising ample adventures from swimming to 4WDing and wildlife spotting. Fraser Island is also famed for its dingos, so campers with small children may want to opt for fenced-in campsites. You can visit all year-round but spring (September through November) offers the most comfortable temperatures, reduced humidity, and low rainfall. Plan ahead, especially during school holidays, as camping permits must be acquired before arrival.

If you like your beach holidays packed with coastal charm, Ingenia Holidays Hervey Bay has a camping, caravan, or cabin site calling your name. Located alongside the Torquay Lakes, with Torquay Beach just a short stroll away, water sports, swimming, and fishing are what your holiday agenda is soon to be all about. In fact, most of the action happens on the water in these parts. Every winter you’ll share the region with the 8000 or so humpback whales who migrate north to the warmer waters of Hervey Bay to have their young – and they put on an aerial performance you can even see from the coastline to mark their arrival. From Ingenia Holidays Hervey Bay, you’ll also be at the jumping-off point to explore the World Heritage-listed Fraser Island, even if only for a day. Onsite, an array of park facilities makes things comfortable for the young and young at heart – a kid’s playground, games room, and resort-style pool to name a few.

Macadamia Orchard Farm Stay

3. Macadamia Orchard Farm Stay

1 site · Lodging · Talegalla Weir, QLD
Welcome to our 90-acre Macadamia Nut Farm, fondly known as "Logbridge," located just east of Bauple—the birthplace of the original macadamia nut. Start your day with an early morning stroll through the orchard, listen to the Kookaburras and Whip Birds, or pay a visit to the cows by the creek. Collect fresh eggs or simply relax on the deck with a good book. Indulge in a refreshing rainwater shower, crack open a few macadamia nuts, and soak in the tranquility. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit and enjoy a sundowner in the peaceful countryside. This comfortable, modern cottage offers you the privacy and charm of a 90-acre working farm. Guests are welcome to roam freely, though please note that sheds, machinery areas, and the commercial kitchen are off-limits. Secure undercover parking is provided, and you’ll find easy access through the front gate with entry to the house through the backyard. We welcome pets, with a secure yard for them to enjoy, though they are not permitted inside the cottage. Local highlights include Curra Ridge Horse Riding just 20 km away, the seasonal whale-watching opportunities at Hervey Bay (1 hour away, July to November), and the historic Mary Valley Rattler steam train in Gympie, a 45-minute drive. Closer by, the Bauple Museum offers fascinating local history, and the nearby town of Tiaro—just 15 minutes away—has everything you need with local pubs, eateries, a post office, and a small grocery store.

The best dog-friendly cabins in Fraser Island guide

Where to go

Central Station

Set inland, 20 minutes west of Eurong Beach Resort, and surrounded by rainforest, campers staying in Central Station can have a great walk along the banks of the freshwater Wanggoolba Creek and through the lush rainforest. Flora and fauna you may come across include the rare king fern Angiopteris evecta, which has the largest fern fronds in the world, as well as turtles and eels, and you’ll also be within easy access of Lake McKenzie, a popular swimming spot. The camping area, typically one of the island’s busiest, is surrounded by dingo-deterrent fence.

Waddy Point

On the island’s northeast coast, Waddy Point offers both beachfront (unfenced) and inland (fenced) camping areas with coin-operated hot showers and picnic tables, as well as capacity for camper trailers. Making Waddy Point your base puts you within easy access of some of the island’s top attractions, including the coastal headland of Indian Head (a good spot for watching dolphins and whales) and the rock pools filled with bubbling water known as the Champagne Pools. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and hiking.

Dundubara

Dundubara is located in the middle of the 75-Mile Beach scenic drive on the east coast, halfway between Indian Head and the rusting S.S. Maheno shipwreck, which ran aground in 1935. You’re also within easy reach of Eli Creek, a popular freshwater swimming spot with a long boardwalk. Camping is available in a large fenced-in area behind great sand dunes and it's one of the few camping sites on the island that allows campfires.

Lake Boomanjin

Along the Southern Lakes scenic drive, the distinctly red-hued Lake Boomanjin offers a peaceful setting and opportunities for swimming and kayaking. The secluded lake is typically far less visited than Lake McKenzie, the island’s other famed perched lake. You can camp right by the lake at the fenced-in camping area with picnic tables and surrounded by forest: note that it is walk-in camping only, so there's no vehicle access to the tent sites.
