Heron Island |
|

Known as a nature
lover’s retreat, Heron is a coral cay located right on the Great
Barrier Reef.
Here you can swim
straight off the beach to a garden of coral where the waters are
teeming with beautifully colored fish and marine life. You won’t see
buildings above the tree line, and you won't bump into day-trippers
either.
There are a variety
of accommodation choices, all of which blend seamlessly with the
surrounding environment. Turtle Rooms are set in lush gardens and
feature a large deck and outdoor area exuding a relaxed casual
style. Positioned closer to the beach, Reef Suites offer filtered
reef and water views with living areas extending outdoors to a
balcony or garden setting.
For absolute beach
frontage, choose a Heron Beachside Suite. Generously sized, these
suites boast spacious rooms, separate living area and large
balconies. For maximum privacy, a Wistari Suite is the perfect
alternative. Situated in garden surrounds with views of the ocean,
each suite is air conditioned and has a private outdoor terrace
complete with a two person hammock; perfect for enjoying the
complimentary fruit basket and sunset canapés each evening. Point
Suites boast premium beach front. Granting breathtaking reef views
and magical sunsets, these spacious rooms are air conditioned and
include a deluxe fruit basket on arrival and a plate of sunset
canapés delivered each afternoon.
Set within a grove
of trees with a private boardwalk providing beach access, The Beach
House is Heron Island’s most upscale accommodation. A separate
bedroom with spacious en suite, expansive living area, and fully
stocked mini bar all set the scene for a relaxing visit. The perfect
finishing touches include the fruit basket on arrival, afternoon
sunset canapés each day and, of course, a private outdoor shower.
The restaurant, bar
and lounge provide panoramic reef views, with a cocktail bar,
entertainment lounge, dance floor and library area. Explore and
discover the natural attractions on offer, from diving and

trips to the reef because you're already there. Choose from over
twenty different dive sites, more than half of which are just
fifteen minutes from the beach.
