It was friendly, helpful staff that made all the difference. The quality of the food was also better than expected from a 3.5 star organisation. And a 4 wheel drive bus tour we took to the south end of the island was well handled by the driver who also excelled at making it an informative, fun and safe trip

Lovely stay at the resort - had a family unit which had plenty of space for the 3 of us (including 7m old baby). Only downside was the shower was a bit hard to get right but wasn’t a major. Lovely beach front views. Food options are limited at the resort / restaurants so worthwhile bringing your own lunch from the mainland if staying a few days (and have a fridge in your unit!)

We had a lovely stay at Tangalooma. Room was lovely and spacious. Activities are pricey but we anticipated that. It would be better was if there was a water taxi out to the ship wrecks, not sure why this is only offered on cruise ship days. Also book activities ahead if cruise ship is to arrive that day, those days the resort is packed (including restaurants), as most things will book out. It is about a 30 minute walk out to the wrecks. Food options are limited. Buffet breakfast is super average, but for the kids it's worth it. For the price of rooms, not sure why no daily service. A few things seem to be service cutting for the sake of the dollar. Understandable for business, but Osbourne family have significantly moved away from their family value roots.

Tangalooma is a hidden gem just over an hour by ferry away from Brisbane. The island resort is fantastic, with tours and activities for everyone. Feeding wild dolphins is incredible! The staff are all wonderful and there is nothing you can fault about the place!

What an amazing location! The beach is stunning and the wildlife is incredible. Sunsets were something special! Very close to Brisbane and easy to get to. Very comfortable rooms with great views. Lots of activities to keep everyone entertained. Not a huge range of dining options on Mondays and Tuesdays but we were only staying a couple of nights so that was ok. Please buy some new tennis racquets and balls!
