Reviews
Whale Watchers was excellent. We had a garden view 3 bedroom apartment that was more than big enough for 6 adults. The new managers were very helpful and accommodating. They also have some cabanas and beach gear for rent if needed. A great family holiday. We will be back!

Our stay at Whale Watch Resort on Stradbroke Island was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles from the friendly staff who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The location is unbeatable – perched perfectly to offer breathtaking ocean views, especially during whale season. We spent hours on the balcony, mesmerized by whales breaching just offshore. It’s a front-row seat to nature’s magic. The heated pools were a luxurious treat, perfect for both relaxing swims in the early morning and winding down after a day of exploring. They’re beautifully maintained and ideal for all ages. Nature lovers will be in their element here. The abundance of wildlife – from kangaroos hopping nearby to colorful birds and, of course, the whales – made every day feel like a nature documentary. The resort’s location also makes it incredibly convenient. You’re just a short walk from stunning beaches, local cafes, and scenic walking trails, yet the peaceful atmosphere makes it feel like a secluded retreat. If you’re looking for a tranquil escape surrounded by natural beauty, with modern comforts and genuinely kind hospitality, Whale Watch Resort is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

We are staying in one of the ocean view 3 bed apartments and it is amazing. So spacious and well laid out, clean and it has stunning views! We were able to check in early, they suggested lots of great places to eat and fun activities for the kids without me asking and the service has been incredible. Highly recommend!!
