“Eli” is a budget accommodation unit and has the ability to sleep either large groups or 1, 2 or 3 families making this unit very economical for a group of up to 12 people. The Eli unit is designed to be the next best thing to camping on the beach with toilets, hot showers, running water and a 48v solar power system (with back-up generator). No more dragging all the gear up the beach and losing hours of lost time setting up and pulling down your camp!

The Eli Unit is one of 2 units to share this facility. Eli has 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (hot shower, toilet and vanity).

The Unit can sleep up to 12 people:

Bedroom 1: 1 x Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: 1 x Queen Bed
Bedroom 3: 1 x Double Bed
Bedroom 4: 2 x Single Bunk Beds
Bedroom 5: 1 x Single Bunk Bed + 1 x Single Bed
Bedroom 6: 1 x Single Bunk Bed + 1 x Single Bed

The Eli Unit has been freshly painted internally and the total complex is powered by a 48v solar power system (with back-up generator). It is comfortable during the warmer months with fly-screens on all doors/windows and wall-mounted fans in all rooms.

There is an outdoor communal camp kitchen (shared by the 2 units) with large stainless steel bbq, kitchen sink, servery, complete with numerous huge 8-10 seater timber tables - perfect for alfresco dining. The Camp Kitchen also has 2 upright fridge/freezers (one for each unit). All pots/pans/plates/cutlery is supplied.

ADDED EXTRAS:
• All beds have mattress protectors and a pillow (you will need to bring your own bedsheets, blankets and towels)
• 24-hour power (48v solar power system with back-up generator)

Make your next stay at K'Gari (Fraser Island) hassle-free with all the basics already in place for you and the family. Eli is a cheap alternative to camping for your next stay on the Island).

THE LOCATION:
Centrally located (approximately half-way up the eastern coast of the Island), Happy Valley is the perfect base to head north and explore the likes of Eli Creek, Maheno Shipwreck, Indian Head and Champagne Pools. Heading south will take you to Lake Wabby, Eurong and across the Island to Central Station and Lake McKenzie. Explore beaches, lakes, creeks, rainforests, 4x4 tracks, sand-blows and endless scenery. A short 150m walk along the elevated boardwalk provides direct access to the beach.

PLEASE NOTE: we do have on-site Property Caretakers who reside in the adjacent unit at this complex. This is NOT a party Unit and all guests are asked to be respectful of both our caretakers and your neighbours and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm.

The entire community of Happy Valley is fully enclosed by a dingo fence to secure the safety of families. The Fraser Island Retreat is only a 50m walk and provides a restaurant, bar, fuel and general store. Happy Valley has access to full Telstra coverage.

    The family and i had a great stay at Creature comforts Eli unit. Comfy beds, hot showers and a good outdoor cooking area. It was so good the 12 of us in the same area while cooking and eating on the big deck. Heaps of room.Perfect cental area on the island to do some exploring in the 4wd and only a short walk to the beach to catch the sunrise and wet a line.Family ranged from 7-60 all had a fantastic stay.Highly recommend.

    Was great location to everything in happy valley. We loved the convenience of being able to walk to the shop/pub and the beach. Also the fact that our friends were in walking distance from us. The care takers Jacquie & Russell were more than accommodating they were friendly and had a wealth of information on the island. A few suggestions on the accommodation we had 12 people staying in our unit there was not enough towel racks or hooks to hang your bath towels,There was 1 fridge per unit was not enough for 12 people for 7 nights. We loved the open kitchen outside it brought all the group together at meal times and became our communal hang out space. Over all we were really happy with the accommodation and would recommend it.

    Our stay was great with the added bonus of the pub just up the road with balcony that faces towards the property enabling us to sneak some much needed cocktails in before dinner each night. The accomodation suited our group of two family’s very well. We enjoyed our stay and the caretakers were great and more than accommodating. We left a ball and some games/ activities for future guests to enjoy would highly recommend this place to other family’s and groups. Thank-you for having us and hopefully we will be back in no time.

    This place was perfecty designed for our two families. We loved the outdoor kitchen/entertaining area, enjoying what Kgari has to offer. Nice and close to the shop and walking distance to beach. The property manager was super friendly and helpful. Beds were all comfy with plenty of options. We will definitely be back!

    We had a group of 9 adults and this property was great for us. Outdoor kitchen worked well with lots of storage and was well equipped. The only negative would be that the fridge isn’t large, so would have been difficult to store enough food and drinks without having our own fridges with us. Good location at Happy Valley. Would recommend to others.
