Bookings are now open for K’gari Backpackers, located at K’gari Beach Resort on the island’s eastern coast, with stays from just $50.

K’gari Backpackers offers affordable accommodation for solo travellers, groups and couples looking to explore World Heritage-listed K’gari (formerly Fraser Island).

Rates start from $50 per person, per night for shared accommodation, and $140 per room, per night for couples’ rooms – giving travellers an affordable new way to stay and explore the world’s largest sand island.

Accommodation includes six-share mixed dormitories, a dedicated female-only dormitory and couples-only rooms, providing a social base from which to explore the island.

K’gari is home to a natural environment found nowhere else on Earth, with towering rainforests growing from ancient sand dunes, crystal-clear freshwater lakes nestled among the dunes, and more than 120 kilometres of beaches stretching along the Queensland coast.

The UNESCO World Heritage-listed island is home to half of the world’s perched freshwater dune lakes and is the only place in the world where tall rainforests grow on sand dunes at elevations above 200 metres.

Guests staying at K’gari Backpackers can bring their own 4WD to explore the island at their own pace, taking in attractions including:

• Lake McKenzie (Boorangoora) – known for its white silica sands and clear blue waters
• Eli Creek – where millions of litres of fresh water flow to the ocean every hour
• 75 Mile Beach – K’gari’s eastern beach and one of the island’s 4WD experiences
• Central Station – where rainforest, giant trees and fern-lined boardwalks reveal the environment growing from the sand

4WD and K’gari stay

Travellers without their own 4WD can combine their stay with a two-day K’gari Explorer Tour to experience the island’s beaches, lakes, rainforests and other highlights.

Located within K’gari Beach Resort, K’gari Backpackers combines the affordability and social atmosphere of backpacker accommodation with access to resort facilities and a location on the island’s eastern side.

Conor Ross, general manager K’gari Beach Resort, said K’gari Backpackers would give adventure seekers a new way to stay on the island.

“K’gari is unlike anywhere else in the world. You can drive along seemingly endless beaches, swim in incredibly clear freshwater lakes and then find yourself walking beneath towering rainforest growing straight out of the sand,” Ross said.

“K’gari Backpackers gives travellers an affordable base right here on the island, so they can spend their days exploring and their evenings sharing those experiences with other travellers.

“Whether you’re arriving with your own 4WD, travelling with friends, exploring solo or joining one of our K’gari Explorer Tours, it’s all about giving people more ways to get out and experience this incredible World Heritage-listed destination.”
