Castaways Moreton Island

A good alternative to camping. Just imagine camping but you don't have to pitch the tent and you have a great bed and en suite. Bring all the other things that you would if you're going camping.There is no WiFi and phone reception is patchy.There is a communal kitchen with BBQ facilities, fridge and kettle.The new owners are great and keen to help and recommend places to visit.Only one issue with our tent, it had mould in the tent. Hopefully this will be addressed soon.

The new management of castaways glamping is fantastic and the staff are the kindest people on the planet looking after myself and my wife while we stayed. The camp kitchen was the cleanest camp kitchen I have ever seen and has 3 fridges to store your food . 2 person tent had plenty of room for us, i am a large man . And the king size bed was comfortable. We stayed for 9 nights and we will be back.

Its a nice place, close to the beach, camping, room accommodation, glamping, no too expensive considering the island, nice staff and atmosphere very useful because of the store and restaurant service. The only complaint is the kitchen close by 3 pm and the store by 4:30, so you need to program your day and get everything you need early. The best is 24 hours dispenser, by 8 dollars a bag of ice or 15 litres of fresh and clean water

We've been going to Castaways for years, and its hands down our favourite places to stay on the island. We love that it is not a huge resort, the location, amenities and staff.It's not the closest to the barge landing but that means it's further from the crowds and noise. It’s location also provides easy access to the northern parts of the island and the eastern beaches. The amenities here are always well maintained and clean, plus the kitchen has everything you need.The beach is only a stone’s throw away from the actual accommodation/glamping and having the store/takeaway right there on the property is incredibly convenient, especially on longer stays. The amazing coffee and hot food they serve up is only second to freshly shucked oysters from Moreton Island Rock Oysters.Every time we stay at Castaways, we enjoy it more than the last. The staff are some of the happiest, friendliest, most welcoming and helpful people you'll meet. Every time we stay at Castaways, we find something new to appreciate and we can’t wait to get back. We can't thank the staff/owner enough for making each stay better than the last. Keep up the great work!Would highly recommend for those who don’t want to pack the whole kitchen sink when they camp but still want to feel like they have been camping.

My partner and I loved coming to Castaways. The gentleman wearing a cap was excellent at helping us find out about Gluten Free options. He also helped me when I accidentally spilled my dipping sauce in the middle of the store. The chef was very nice to my partner when he asked more questions about gluten free options. It is great to come to a place where the workers are friendly and understanding about food intolerances. Thanks guy!!

Thank goodness Micat no longer own it! And good riddance to their sour attitude.Now we were greeted with a warm welcome from Belinda and her staff all of which were very welcoming. The new owners ( Belinda and Craig) are already hard at work making improvements and presenting a beautiful place to stay and relax.We are camping this trip and had a bit of an emergency where Castaways went above and beyond to help us out which was much appreciated.We frequented the premises often over a week utilising the shop and cafe and the reception was always the same happy, cheerful, and very professional. We had a chance to have a peek at the clamping tents and at the units with a view to book in the future. We can say first hand that all were immaculately clean, with great amenities to match. We look forward to booking the clamping having witnessed them.Congratulations to the new owners who are really making a difference, keep up the good work its certainly shining through.

Love the new management. So friendly and kind. Great food! Dont waste your time at the resort. Do yourself a favour and drop in!

After a week of rough weather camping on the other side of the island, my wife and I needed an easy night before catching the early Micat home the next day. We drove to Bulwer and asked if there was any accommodation available for one night. The new owners were extremely friendly and although there is usually a 2 night minimum stay, this was waivered for a small extra cost. We were shown through two glamping tents" which are actually more like bungalows with a canvas roof. Very clean with a queen bed and an open air type shower

I was pretty disappointed with my experience here today, I went to get some chips and I ordered a medium, when I went to get my order it was in a small container, I let them know I had ordered a medium, so the worker literally turned around to the kitchen window in front of me and told the kitchen that I had ordered a medium. The workers in the back started laughing and I heard them say “it’s just an illusion” and poured the chips from the small container into the medium and immediately gave them back and proceeded to laugh amongst themselves. It was very unprofessional and really awkward.
