Whalewatch Ocean Beach Resort

Stayed with family for a winter break from Melbourne and we had a terrific time. Resort is well situated with a beautiful nature walk down to the beach that takes around 5 mins. We had a lovely meal at the surf club with best patio view in the world! Whales and dolphins easily visible from our table. So many kangaroos on the island and so close to us all the time - the kids loved it. A car is a must for the island and allowed us easy access to home and cylinders beach as well as day trips to brown lake and amity. We loved it and have booked again for next year

We had an unforgettable experience at Whale Watch Resort Stradbroke! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome — friendly, helpful, and full of great local tips. Their warmth really added a personal touch to our stay. The highlight for us was the incredible wildlife right at our doorstep. We spotted whales from the balcony, saw kangaroos nearby, and enjoyed birdsong every morning. It felt like being immersed in nature while still having all the comforts of a cozy, well-kept resort. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and be looked after by genuinely lovely people. Can’t wait to return!

The 3 bedroom premium ground floor ocean view apartment was very comfortable, spacious & well equipped (except no cutting board). We enjoyed lovely ocean views & could spot the whales using our binoculars. It was great to be able to walk onto the grass from our apartment. The kangaroos on the lawn were a great addition. Easy 5 minute walk to the local cafes & Gorge walk (best viewing of whales).
