The long, uninterrupted stretch of sand, brilliant waters, majestic flora and fauna, and exciting adrenaline-fuelled activities \u2013 you want to make sure you experience all of these when visiting Fraser Island. That\u2019s why it\u2019s essential to select the right accommodation. However, with the many Fraser Island resorts, luxury lodges, and campgrounds in the area, it could be overwhelming for one to pick the best one for you.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there are some ways to make the selection process easier. To help you, we\u2019ve put together some of the things you need to look out for to find the perfect Fraser island accommodation for your trip:<\/p>\n<h3>Affordibility<\/h3>\n<p>For many, rates and prices are the top consideration when booking an accommodation. It\u2019s important to establish a budget for how much you would like to spend on your accommodation, including extra costs such as laundry services and meal options, so that it\u2019d be easier to filter through your choices. You can compare rates and prices using booking engines, like Expedia, Travelocity or Orbitz. Or you can also check out Kayak.com to find cheaper deals.<\/p>\n<p>A great tip from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independenttraveler.com\/travel-tips\/hotel-and-b-and-b\/choosing-a-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IndependentTraveler.com<\/a> can come in handy for your next booking, \u201cUse the booking engines to see what\u2019s available and test rates at the properties you\u2019re interested in, and then go straight to the hotel\u2019s Web site to book directly \u2014 most hotels guarantee you the lowest rate when you book on their site, and will match a lower price you find elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Accessibility<\/h3>\n<p>According to Queensland\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nprsr.qld.gov.au\/parks\/fraser\/about.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing<\/a>, \u201cFraser Island is about 300km north of Brisbane and 15km off the coast of Hervey Bay and Maryborough.\u201d Most travellers who want to have easier access to the island\u2019s stunning vistas and unspoilt beaches often choose to stay in Hervey Bay as it is considered the gateway to Fraser Island, providing the main access to the island. However, there are also plenty of accommodation choices in nearby towns such as Maryborough, Noosa, and Rainbow Beach.<\/p>\n<h3>Amenities<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to an accommodation\u2019s amenities, the choices of every traveller would vary depending on their needs. Some would prefer to stay in an upscale place, complete with luxurious facilities and services; while others would settle for convenience and comfort and free Wi-Fi. Whatever your preferences are, make sure you do your research carefully on Fraser Island hotels to help you experience the best vacation possible.<\/p>\n<p>OpenTravelInfo.com also has something to advise if you have travel companions, \u201cIf you are travelling with your kids or perhaps your parents who may be elderly, check out hotels that offer something for them. A playground for kids is a great way to keep them entertained during your trip and for the elders, amenities that can help them relax and enjoy the trip are great.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Customer Reviews<\/h3>\n<p>Reading what previous customers or travellers have to say about a particular hostel, lodge or resort is a good idea to gain insight on the establishment\u2019s quality of services. TripAdvisor is typically the first place tourists and travellers visit to find out reviews and feedback from previous customers. However, exploring travel forums, review sites, and asking friends and connections through social media could also be helpful. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpages.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YellowPages.com.au<\/a> says, \u201cKeep in mind when reading reviews that what may be a negative for one traveller, for example, the noise of children playing in a pool, may actually be a positive for someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let a poor choice in accommodation ruin your Fraser Island experience. Pick the right one by following these tips. Here at Dropbear Adventures, we\u2019ve partnered with Flashpackers Noosa and Flashpackers Hervey Bay, as well as Noosa Backpackers and YHA Halse Lodge to help travellers enjoy the best before their Fraser Island camping safari.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the right accommodation when travelling is always a daunting task, but even more so if it\u2019s Fraser Island you\u2019re about to set foot on!
