We stayed 2 nights at Tangalooma but could just get towels for one day. New once for the second day would have cost extra ☹️ Would be nice to get clean once for the nights depending on the days you stay.

Tangalooma is a beautiful resort on Moreton Island, which unfortunately does not come with any inclusions. Everything is an additional charge. Want to play volleyball? A charge to hire. Want some shade on the beach? $30 to hire a cabana. The beach is beautiful and the resort is really well maintained, clean and relaxed. The food options are lacking, and the only restaurant style option is SO expensive. We probably wont be coming back.

Chips and more chips
Staff are enormously friendly but the menu choices are limited and often run out. I think only one or two dishes come without chips. Could use a couple more options. Outlook is beautiful beach is clean and accessible to most.

Commercial resort popular with families and school parties Our K block room was smart and recently renovated with great views out to see. Food was very cafeteria like. Fried and little healthy options. Oriental restaurant was better. The activities and excursions are its positives. Enjoyed sunset trip to the wreck. The snorkelling along the reef was exciting, if challenging, given the strong current and hidden sunken wrecks, just below the surface. Dolphin feeding has become too busy. There must have been nearly 100 people queueing up on the beach for two seconds, feeding a fish to this enormous wild animal. It’s still a surreal experience however. Sadly the trips to view the rest of the island and it scenery were not available, which was very disappointing. Would have booked a different time and worth planning them ahead and it was a key element we wished to do.

The food was the biggest let down unfortunately. It was a full week of takeaway food. You need to be able to hire a villa that has a kitchen and bring your own food. So many WH&S hazards around the island, ie low hanging cords (at head height), boxes covering dangerous tripping hazards, other hazards not roped off ie large drains
