Island vacation rentals in Australasia

This place is even more grand and beautiful when you arrive. It is much larger than the photographs show. And it is as dreamy and romantic as pictured and described. The staff was available at all times for anything we needed and the chef and food was amazing. They cook delicious local cuisine or anything you might desire. The home is overlooking the ocean with a great lull of the waves putting you to sleep at night. it's also located right above a surf school with local yoga studios, bars and a couple of restaurants, while also providing a sense of total isolation in nature. 5 stars!

Bedarra island is a stunning paradise, a 45 minute boat ride from Mission Beach. The host put us in touch with Mission Beach charters who were great and the experience was incredibly straightforward. The car hire company took us to the boat and the island caretakers met us and took our luggage (and food for 5 days) up to the house. The house is on the top of the island with stunning views over both sides of the island. Its a brisk walk up the hill which takes about 7 minutes. There are two beaches, with snorkelling and fishing opportunities. It is a truly stunning island.

Nous avons passé un séjour absolument merveilleux dans cette villa. Le personnel est tout simplement incroyable : d'une gentillesse, d'un sourire et d'un respect rares. Les échanges avec eux resteront parmi nos plus beaux souvenirs. Les petits déjeuners et les repas étaient délicieux – "Inak Sakali" comme on dit ici, c'était vraiment trop bon ! Les chambres sont très confortables, rien à redire, tout était parfait pour se reposer dans un cadre idyllique. Nous recommandons vivement cette villa à tous ceux qui cherchent une expérience authentique, chaleureuse et relaxante. Et que dire de notre escapade à Gili Meno… courte, certes, mais inoubliable. Un grand merci pour tout, on repart le cœur rempli. Terimaksi Tari and Ketut

Our place was absolutely beautiful! The pictures that were posted are exactly what you get! When we visit Hamilton Island again, we will definitely be booking this place, it was amazing and perfect for our family. The only thing we have to comment about is maybe update the couches in the living room. They are a bit worn down from all the wear and tear on them over the years by guests. But such a beautiful place and view.

Staying at the Lotus House was a complete indulgence. We loved it. Despite the rain we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves chilling out on the verandah and wandering down both to the pool and the ocean for a swim. It was an incredibly relaxing holiday. We definietly hope to stay again.

Beautiful island, very nice place and Aris is a great host, paying attention to all the request. We fell in love with Kepa and the bungalow, extending our staying for two more days. If you are looking for nature, underwater paradise and a quiet place, go to Marangki!

He had an awesome time staying at Reconnect with my wifey&kid. Friendly staff, amazing diving & snorkeling spots in the middle of nature was everything we needed. Highly recommended. We will surely return, thank you everything!

Spent 5 nights at this homestay and really enjoyed it. It’s in a beautiful location and every day Baby Black tip sharks swam past and under our hut. You can snorkel around the island and we saw unicorn fish and great barracuda, turtle and so much more. The family is really nice and helpful. The food is good and there is plenty of it. I would come back to this place.

I am giving Katembe 5 stars because I had a 5-star experience, but I will be including a lot of FYI's for people considering staying. I think it is just ultimately a better experience if you know what you're getting into. - 4 nights minimum stay -- the listing says you take a 9AM ferry with no further details and really should be more clear. You would leave the resort at 7:30AM to get to the ferry port of Waisai. From Waisai (if you leave on time) it takes another 2 hours to get to Sorong where the airport is. Plan accordingly because the staff did not flag this when I forwarded them my flight info and I did have to book another flight and night in Sorong. - be prepared for nothing ever drying. My katembe towel was never dry after my first time using it, and things get really stinky. Bed sheets are moist/wet/damp the entire time. - If you're ok with that, the island is amazing, the food is fantastic and the people were my absolute fav part of this trip. Amazing boat trips!!!

Great island, amazing views and a very welcoming Family Fakwader!

The two story bungalows in Beser Bay and the surrounding bungalows are all located in a stunning environment with very interesting mangroves and rock features. You will be surrounded by friendly local families who take very good care of their guests! Catch sunset at the end of the jetty, aka WiFi point. Schedule activities through what’s app or catch one of the guides the evening you arrive. Petrik and Rico took us all the way out to Pianemo to snorkel and hike and back to Waisai to catch the 9:00 ferry, it was an amazing stay overall!

Not. One. Fault. Flawless experience on every possible level. Cannot fault the complexity and depth of detail involved in every aspect of our stay, the staff, the building, decor and aesthetics. Super super epic tranquility and hospitality. A million stars. Sad to leave.

Beautiful view ～and very nice trip～I love pulau cinta

Quel paradis ! Entre le logement vu mer, la qualité et la gentillesse inégalée du service et le restaurant absolument incroyable…wow. Difficile de quitter ce lieu ! Merci pour tout, nous reviendrons sans hésitation.

Incroyable Le logement est excellent, la piscine est magnifique. Le personnel est vraiment à l’écoute et très gentil Je recommande vivement !!

We were very happy about our stay there. It is a beautiful house in a dream location. Very close to local authentic life and the kindness of balenese people. Sabine was great for the first steps and the. Wayan, Komang and Iluh took over and gave us a 5 stars service. Definitely recommend !!

Water-villa spacieuse avec une vue de rêve où nous avons été très bien accueillies. Le personnel a été très bienveillant pour trouver des solutions en lien avec nos contraintes. Le petit-déjeuner mériterait d’être amélioré.
