Top Southern Great Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews
Heron Island Resort
8/10 Good
"Heron Island is amazing destination but the property is starting to look tired. It is very expensive to eat, 1 restaurant (breakfast, lunch&dinner)& 1 bar, opens at 10am with limited food if fridge works!!. Same breakfast everyday is $35pp. Cafe style coffee for 2 $15, didn't have lunch. Dinner for 2 with 2 drinks and 1 dessert around $100. Diving and snorkelling was great. 1 dive $150pp & $50 for snorkelling from a boat. Free at high tide unless you hire snorkelling equipment. Dive & snorkelling shop is very well organised and equipped. The corals are slowly recovering from bleaching event in 2024 but sealife is outstanding. Staff are very helpful and friendly."
Bayview Tower
10/10 Excellent
"The apartment was clean and met our needs. Breakfast was great Views were amazing Easy check in after hours Good parking"
Burnett Riverside Hotel
8/10 Good
"Plenty of space in the family room. Beds comfortable. Lift a bonus. Only problem was the poor lighting in the room being so dim that it caused headaches. One tiny small glass door to the outside and low yellow light bulb in main area was cave like. Charged for item from fridge that we did not have."
