Perfectly positioned, Sailfish apartments’ northerly aspect provides you with beautiful cooling ocean breezes on hot summer nights. You will wake to the musical sounds of Fraser Island’s 260 species of birdlife and views extending from surrounding island vegetation through to white sandy beaches, white capped waves and sparkling blue ocean.
And for those times you really want to relax and stay out of the kitchen, you can take advantage of the nearby bar, bistro and shopping facilities, just a short stroll from your apartment.
Your holiday can be as busy or relaxed as you like with nearby bushwalking, ocean fishing and swimming, or while away the hours in the privacy of the sparkling swimming pool, jet spa and beautifully maintained gardens. Centrally located, Sailfish on Fraser is the perfect base from which to discover the major attractions on World Heritage Listed Fraser Island.
There are 72 different coloured sands on Fraser Island. Just a short drive north of Sailfish apartments, you can view the best coloured sands on the island and marvel at the spectacular sculptured sand cliffs, appropriately named “The Pinnacles” and “The Cathedrals”.
Eli Creek, just 15 minutes from your apartment, provides excellent swimming in the largest of the pristine freshwater streams which flow into the ocean. And just 5 minutes further, your thoughts will go back in time as you examine the rusting hull of the Maheno shipwreck, washed ashore in 1935.
A short 45 minute drive north and you can experience the natural beauties of Indian Head, an excellent rocky headland lookout onto the beaches and dunes. While you are there cool off in Middle Rocks’ deep natural rock pools, known as champagne pools. Or take a short drive south to enjoy swimming in the deep midnight blue waters of Lake McKenzie.
With the abundance of native wildlife, including dingoes, echidnas and wallabies, and the beautiful lush rainforests and scenic wonders, there’s plenty to see and do when you step out of the luxury of Sailfish on Fraser.
