FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS           

WHAT'S THE STAFF ACCOMMODATION LIKE?

Kingfisher Bay Resort offers a variety of accommodation options on the island – all looked after by a dedicated village supervisor. The most common style of accommodation is share accommodation with small fridge and a communal laundry – this is known as donga-style accommodation. However, self-contained management accommodation is also available.

Employees living in the staff village are required to provide their own linen. Televisions and stereos are not provided, though staff members are able to bring their own.

You don’t have to live on Fraser to work at Fraser. A large number of resort staff choose to commute from Hervey Bay on the mainland to and from work. The first passenger catamaran runs from 6.45am and the last leaves the island at 11.30pm – it’s a pleasant 45 minute journey across the calm waters of The Great Sandy Strait.
