The island is a dream. The hotel leaves in some areas very to desire. The room, in other words the cleanliness, have bothered me the most. Because of the shower in the bed -one had black Feet! In the shower and on the toilet we found considerable Leftovers from our previous. The food in the restaurant is super, also the wine list. The a beer is expensive, you know in Australia. Unless one is the first day in the country. Clear, there is a diving and snorkel Paradise. … read more

A very nice, small island. There is a small supermarket, in which you can get drinks and articles for daily necessities to cover up can. Since the island was a bird nest and brutgebiet is, there are very, very many birds produce a immense sound setting. So rather less suitable for people who do not like birds. I wasn't't extremely high level of disturbed (six dollars for a beer and $for a glass of wine). For divers, it is noted here: you can rent on the island of everything, but I personally prefer a diver with private equipment. It means … read more

The service at the hotel is absolutely in good order. Valuables can be left at the reception, because the doors in the resort that wouldn't be secured. your bags are brought to our room and checked in directly from the ferry is already on land, before the ferry. Large good restaurant. The seafood buffet is but with EUR 75.00 per person without drinks in our opinion too expensive. Otherwise there was pork and beef, for guests who don't like to seafood". Besides that, there was a large salad buffet and dessert with coffee or cappucino. Great large room with … read more

We stayed during our Australia-trips two nights on Heron Island and absolutely loved it. Pure nature! The birds and their noise did us in our reef unit didn't really bother. Snorkeling directly from the beach, Eyeball to Eyeball with small sharks. The only thing we had to complain about, would be the day a snack to buy them anywhere. You have to cover so from breakfast to dinner, there is one egg for breakfast in the morning, a picnic snack. So spontaneously in the afternoon food, is not. However, we spent on request in the restaurant then two sandwiches. The … read more

Important note introdution: Heron Island is as the name suggests (heron island) a birdisland. Here again thousands of sea birds. If you with Vogellärm (even at night) and the smell of bird droppings products so strong that one almost felt sick had a problem, was wrong here! If the but that didn't bother us, the expected a wonderful, small paradise island with Gramvousa bay and turquoise water to the horizon. Small reef sharks, rays swimming directly on the beach. Great snorkeling you 5 minutes by waterbus from the harbor. We recommend (on-site), the complete "meal package" (food pack) to book. … read more
