Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat

Great cabins and excellent facilities

A great place to rest and relax. Beautiful surroundings and very clean and quiet.

Many thanks to the owners putting ours fears, of our 1am arrival, to rest by sorting out a taxi and clear information how to get in. The location is wonderful especially if you like birdlife! A relaxing stop off to go to K’Gari and couldn’t have asked for more!

We loved our stay at Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat. The gorgeous little cabin is set in a peaceful lakeside setting surrounded by wildlife, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The cabin was spick and span and fully self-contained, with a lovely deck overlooking the lakes. There were plenty of blankets to keep us cosy on the cold winter nights, although the air conditioning kept the cabin perfectly comfortable. Tea and coffee were provided, along with complimentary milk, and the full-size fridge and microwave made it easy to bring our own meals for a longer stay. If I had just one suggestion for improvement, it would be the shower. The water was beautifully hot, but the shower rose seemed to have a split personality. One jet had enough pressure to cut steel, while the others felt like I'd turned up to the O.K. Corral armed with a water pistol! I kept trying to look up to see if the shower head needed turning to a different spray setting, but judging the angle while being pelted from all directions proved a challenge, so I eventually surrendered. The check-out process was a little tricky with no instructions on whether to leave the keys in the room or at reception (which was closed with no drop box). Eventually I texted for instructions and all was easily sorted! A wonderful place to stay, and we'd happily return.
