Awards

It’s been a golden 20 years!

Kingfisher Bay Resort and Village is the proud recipient of six Australian Tourism Awards and seven Queensland Tourism Awards for Ecotourism and Development and won a place in the Queensland Tourism Awards Hall of Fame after winning the 2006 Steve Irwin Ecotourism Award.

Kingfisher Bay resort Awards

Kingfisher Bay’s stunning, eco-friendly design took out Australia’s top architectural prize for the main resort building and the resort’s signature restaurant – Seabelle - has recently been short listed in the 2007 Queensland Hotels' Association Best Restaurant Award for Excellence, won its category in 2006 and 2004 and was a finalist in the 2005 awards.

In 2007 and 2004 it was a finalist in the Australian Hotels Association Best Restaurant Awards. Seabelle has been placed in the Fraser Coast Tourism Awards Hall of Fame as a Best Tourism Restaurant.

Other accolades include the American Discovery Channel naming Kingfisher Bay Resort as Australia’s Best Beach Resort and Fraser Island as the World’s Best Beach. Earlier this year Fraser Island was named one of the World’s Sexiest Islands 2005 by the prestigious American business magazine Forbes. It was the only Australian island in the list.

The list says Fraser Island’s 'enormous sand dunes provide plenty of space and privacy for frolicking on the beach' and it names Kingfisher Bay Resort as the place to stay. Previously Conde Nast Traveller readers voted Fraser Island one of the World’s Top 10 Tropical Islands for three years running.

Jetty Hut

Escape the Queensland sun and enjoy beach breezes and a cool ice cream treat under the Jetty Hut roof, learn to fish with our fishing clinic or meet new friends on a guided canoe trip to Dundonga Creek.

The Jetty is the resort’s main marine hub and the one-stop shop to hire marine gear, book a Sail Fraser Island cruise or indulge in a chat with friendly staff.  Pre-order order a bucket of prawns, bucket of beers and prawns or a yummy antipasto platter or the team at the Jetty Hut would be only happy to whip up a cheese platter for you.

Fish feed and dart amongst the jetty piles, dingoes lope along the beach and as the sun dips, the Jetty Hut is perfect to perch for great views and  lively conversation. Or why not snap a perfect Kingfisher Bay sunset and enjoy a tipple at sunset?

Sand Bar and Bistro

Combine the Sand Bar’s Bistro casual dining experience with its stunning bush location and you’ve got a recipe for success. The Sand Bar’s spacious decks allow glimpses of the Great Sandy Strait and poolside dining offers a taste of the Aussie lifestyle.

The Sand Bar's made-to-order pizza and bistro menu hit the spot after a morning in the great outdoors… and best of all it's only a hop, skip and jump to two of the resort’s inviting pools and a short stroll to the beach.

Picnic in the trees and soak up the birdsong, down a cool drink in the shady deck or keep the kids amused in the Sand Bar’s gaming arcade. The Sand Bar is perfect for a quick meal after a day's fun on the water.
