Island life

What you need to know...

Kingfisher Bay Resort offers live-on accommodation options on the island – all looked after by a dedicated supervisor. Each room is sole-use and includes:

  • Single bed (Double beds are available upon request for couples) 
  • TV
  • Air-conditioning
  • Bar fridge
  • Linen supplied
  • Wi-Fi

Other facilities available:

  • Laundry
  • General Store

But, you don’t have to live on Fraser to work at the resort. A large number of our resort staff choose to commute from Hervey Bay on the mainland to and from work. Rostered shifts are aligned with ferry times that operate throughout the day. The first passenger ferry runs from 6.45am and the last leaves the island at 5:00pm – it’s a pleasant 50-minute journey across the calm waters of The Great Sandy Strait, and is free for all employees.

If you are wanting to live and work on Fraser Island, then you must be over the age of 18 years.

The resort operates on a 7-day week, whereby all staff members have 2 rostered days off per week.
