Housekeeping
Sailfish on Fraser is an eco-friendly ten unit resort suited to the self-catering holiday maker. So pack those food and play items to make your stay and day trips enjoyable.
When travelling on K’gari it is always good to be prepared. Remember to take sun safe precautions; slip, slop, slap, slide and seek. Take with you a supply of water, food and dry clothing. Make sure you pack to allow your day trips to be comfortable.
Sailfish runs its own effluent system which is maintained and tested under strict environmental guidelines. Some chemicals, particularly bleaching and phosphate agents destroy the balance in this system. Sailfish provides all necessary detergents for your stay to ensure we meet the Department standard. Personal products selected for use on your holiday should also take this into consideration. We greatly appreciate your compliance to this.
Sailfish provides 24 hour power through solar system with back up gas generator. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate additional appliances such as: plug in esky, hair dryers, portable air conditioners, heaters and the like. Our kitchens are fully equipped and all apartments have ceiling fans throughout with full screens on all doors and windows. Adequate blankets are supplied.
