Frommer's Review
A A$7-million (US$5.6-million/UK£2.8-million) upgrade in 2001 transformed this Long Island hideaway, giving its beachfront bures (a kind of hut common in Polynesia) a glamorous Balinese style, with new decks and furnishings. The dining and bar area overlooks the gorgeous pool area, which is surrounded by timber decking, and a day spa is one of the attractions. This is a private and romantic spot, with no phone, radio, television, or air-conditioning in the rooms, but each veranda has a hammock. A recent addition is Platinum House, a luxury two-bedroom house on the hill behind the bures. Each bedroom has its own private entry and bathroom, and features a separate lounge with large plasma TVs and stereo. A wide wraparound deck has views of the Whitsunday Passage. For those who want to be active, there are non-motorized watersports such as kayaks available.
