Accommodation
Forget fidgety nights with tents and sleeping bags... our comfy Wilderness Lodges promise a good night's rest on Fraser! The modern timber lodges are surrounded by gum trees, bush plants and native birds, so you'll still get your nature fix!
Each lodge has twin, double and quad-share bedrooms, all fully screened. Bedrooms have ceiling fans to keep you cool during summer and heating for those chilly winter nights. Linen, blankets and bath towels are provided and there's separate male and female bathrooms, each with two showers. Lodges have an open lounge area and kitchenette with tea & coffee making facilities. Ironing facilities are also available, and there's a coin-laundry nearby.
The Wilderness Lodges are located on the hill north-east of Kingfisher Bay Resort's main complex (and just across from the Dingo Bar... very handy!!) There's a regular shuttle service between the lodges and resort - check transfer times with your guide.
Meals
You won't go hungry on a Cool Dingo Tour with great buffets served on the Dingo Bar deck and hearty picnic lunches to enjoy on tour. No tinned camping fare, powdered milk or warm drinks, and the best thing... no cooking or washing up!
Breakfast - kick-start for the day's action with a full cooked and continental buffet at the Dingo Bar. Includes bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, baked beans, toast & spreads, cereals, fruit, tea/coffee and juice.
Lunch - On Day 1 we conjure up an 'al fresco' buffet with fresh bread rolls, chicken, cold meats and a variety of salads. Day 2 - tuck in to a lunch pack of roast chicken, salad and mini baguette. Picnic lunches also include muffins, cookies and cold drinks. On Day 3 we head to Eurong Beach Resort for a relaxed BBQ lunch by the Beach Bar including steak, sausages, fish, veggie patties, bread rolls and a variety of salads with tea, coffee and juice.
Dinner - buffet dinners at the Dingo Bar alternate between Pizza/Pasta and Mexican themes, both with vegetarian options and salad bar - plenty to eat after a big day! After dinner, party on at the bar and nightclub with great music, games and drink specials.
Dietary requirements? Our kitchen can cater for vegetarians and other special dietary needs (gluten free etc) as long as we're given sufficient notice... please advise when booking.
