Castaways Moreton Island

Our Castaways Glamping experience this Australia Day weekend, far exceeded our expectations. A beautiful location, set in lovely gardens and no crowds, just 100m walk from the beach. The camp kitchen was well maintained with everthing you need, amd if you don't feel like cooking, theres a great reasonably priced cafe and store on site, with great food and coffee. Our room was just lovely, and impressed with the standard of cleanliness. The owners and staff were lovely too, and really set the tone..happy and relaxed. Only one small point, rooms could do with fans, although no real issue for us, it was an extra warm weekend, but told planning already underway to be installed in the future. Highly recommend for a nice relaxing getaway.

We stopped here twice on our island adventures. The food and coffee were solid as a rock. We needed a 20L jerry of unleaded for the patrol, costing $70.lovely staff and some play things for the little kids.

Tip: watch out for the chip stealing kookaburra 😉

Just got back from an amazing stay Castaways.
It's under new ownership, and they're working hard to make it even better.
Very friendly staff, awesome service.
The shop and cafe have everything you need at reasonable prices. Food is great.
They do have limited power, so we didn't have a toaster or microwave, but we had a big TV and fridge!
Grand plans in the pipeline apparently for more facilities? Regardless, will definitely be going back and maybe take my fishing club as they cater for large groups too. Highly recommend 😊👍.

Hats off to the new owners Belinda and Craig for all their efforts at Castaways. The improvements are certainly noticed and appreciated.
The glamping rooms are perfectly comfortable and well maintained. The grounds and gardens are absolutely delightful, again a measure of all the efforts from new ownership.
The staff were so friendly and helpful always happy to stop for a chat and get to know you making you feel very welcome.
The shop , again a huge improvement to previous visits, well stocked with the basics plus delicious food.
Highly recommend this establishment, a hidden gem .

Castaways Café has truly stepped up since new managers came on board! The food, especially the eggs Benedict for breakfast, is fantastic. The café’s new decor is refreshing, and the singing ice machine adds a fun twist. Plus, the staff is always welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!

Loving atmosphere, kind staff, amazing food , accomodation is better then ever since new owners took it over. Castaways is like a home away from home!! Thank You all so much for making our stay so beautifully amazing .

The shop is now stocked up with more then just the bare essentials.
Can’t wait to come back x

They were amazing people
Cant thank them enough for the Help with with my partner getting hurt
they treated us like family will definitely be going back to have another church season 💗

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.

This place is a great place to stop in to while you are on the island, if you need to top up supplies or if you forgot something 😆

Also great takeaway food burgers and loaded fries 👌

Absolute the best burgers on the Island. Best service as well.
Thank you for the kind service and good food. We Will be back.

Great place to stay, and it is so convenient to all the good spots on the island. The shop is awesome with good food and a range of convenient groceries. Oh, and alcohol 😁 just needed a ceiling fan, but hey, you're on an island. Who cares 😁 we had to leave a couple of days early due to sickness, and the staff came out genuinely worried, but we still enjoyed our time.

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!!

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

Amazing two nights at Castaways! Lovely location just by the beach, friendly staff and a fully stocked shop.

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, which is novel. We jumped at the opportunity to have an easy last night and made the booking. After a nice coffee from the shop we drove back over to eastern beach and packed up our camp-site. On our return we grabbed a burger from the shop and settled into the bungalow. There is a large well equipped communal kitchen area available near the bungalows and although we didn't use it, families were in there cooking and eating. We drove down onto the beach and familiarised ourselves with the track to get to the barge the following day before returning to the bungalow for a hot shower and a good nights sleep. Next morning we had a lovely breakfast at shop. Very reasonably priced meals. The big breakfast was indeed big with two eggs, two hashbrowns,bacon, tomato, and sour dough toast all for 19 bucks! Bought some souvenirs for the family from the well stocked shop and then checked out and headed off. The management and staff are so so friendly, and although they were very busy, took the time to make us feel welcome during our short stay. They are doing the place up as they go and the improvements can be seen as you walk around the complex. Great to see such good operators. Thanks again Castaways and good luck. Cheers!

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.

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

Fantastic 4 days spent at castaways with nothing but top tier hospitality showed by the team. Massive shoutout to our tour guide and host Shrek, who constantly went out of his way to show all 27 of us the best possible time
Your a bloody legend mate and I know where I’ll be staying next time I’m on the island.

Stopped in at the Cafe - amazing service & coffee, thanku for doing my small double shot oat coffee - We did have a great chat 🙂

Cannot compliment this place enough. We arrived with like two minutes to spare after finding out we couldn't eat at Tangalooma and they kept the kitchen open for us.

We were all starving and dehydrated by the time we arrived and the food, atmosphere and staff were the lovliest! Stuff Tangalooma, eat here!!
