Gorgeous peaceful island. Great snorkeling. Relaxed atmosphere. Very casual.

The only thing we didn't like was the amount of plastic litter lying around. It was very off putting.

Tranquility, serenity, peace. This is the real Bonnie Doon. 30 minute ride from airport, 15 minute boat ride to island, then peace. Dolphins, dugongs, turtles, fish and coral galore. Straight out from your Bure or within a short walk. No car noise, no street lights, only sounds is from other guests or the lapping ocean. Thick black nights = maximum star gazing. Take the time to get to Fred’s Beach. It is spec-tac-ular. Ask the kitchen for a picnic lunch as you’ll need to spend hours there. 75 minute hike, private beach, crystal clear water, deep coral, little cave to explore. You won't want to leave. The best part is the tour guide, Boots the dog. She will take you there, stay with you and guide you back (take some water for her as there’s no fresh water and she won't leave until you’re done.). There is nothing luxurious about the living quarters at this resort, it is very basic. Do not come here if you’re a sook. 4 hours of electricity, 1 wifi hot spot, dinner is placed in front of you and it’s that or nothing (which removes all the thinking about meals and you’ll be famished). Lots of walking and sightseeing or you can chill out in a hammock. Reef shoes and a torch are a must. One highlight is attending meals with the other guests and comparing what you’ve each discovered over the day. Some great connections made. Diving can be arranged twice a day, snorkelling and sunshine all day. The staff are gentle, kind, hardworking and will do whatever they can to make your stay better. Be kind to them, bring them gifts as they deserve all the love. The new manager, Evante, has some great ideas for small improvements – like the bonfire! A great evening for everyone. Hopefully she’ll be given some leash unlike other past managers who have burnt out inside 2 years. FYI – she loves talking about horror movies and we happened across a dolls head on one of our walks. We may or may not have scared the crap out of her by putting it on the well. Pure gold! Love you, Evante.

The major downside for us was seeing how the owner (Owen) and his best buddy (Stan) treated the local staff members. Rude, obnoxious, tight, unappreciative, belittling, penny-pinching, smug old dudes. Any suggestions or variations are denied just because they don’t like change. No repairs or upkeep has been done in years. The staff work 12+ hour days and some stay on the premises. No amenities allowed, half the roof blown off and they’re permitted to eat whatever the dogs don’t and some bread. I do not joke. Early one morning, Stan called out that a light had been left on at our Bure overnight and he was coming down to turn it off. I replied that we were still sleeping (1 woman, 2 children), he then ENTERED OUR ROOM to turn the light off. When confronted, both he and the owner justified his actions as being totally acceptable. Like, what now? Again, I do not joke or embellish. If this is how they’re treating paying guests, imagine how they’re treating staff! I can think of many 4 lettered words appropriate for these two Australian people.

Superb tasting meals were conjured in the jungle. The house reef was quite nice with moray eels, turtles, sea snakes, puffers and the usual reef fish. Healthy corals are always a joy.

Water for drinking did not really do the trick for pampered taste buds.

Totally relaxing with enough adventure when you wanted it. Our host were wonderful and the food was great everyone so lovely

Had a wonderful stay at tranquility for the weekend. Many hours spent snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking. Some beautiful reef and the water was loaded with turtles. The food was yummy and such a luxury to have breakfast lunch and dinner cooked for you. Maddie and Finn were very welcoming and friendly and gave us plenty of advice on what to do. Would highly recommend a visit.

So relaxing! snorkelling and kayaking was great. The local chef was skilful and creative. Eating area facilitated meeting other guests. Coffee was great.

Need to replace the mattresses on the bed, and new pillows. Larger mosquito net would make it easier to avoid contacting it and being bitten through the net. Fare 7 could do with cleaning up the access to beach in front of the cabin.

Location was lovely. If the accommodation had been clean and not so run down, we would have stayed the night

Hut was in bad repair, not safe from mosquitoes. Very unclean, ensuite was filthy dirty

Beautiful setting. Diving was good and felt in good hands with Maree and Finn as my dive guides.

Basic things were lacking eg had to ask for toilet roll and soap, no shower head, no hot water. No cushions on wooden sun loungers so limited options for relaxation. No fan in room - very hot at night. No secure lock on room. Expected more for $ paid.
