Play Pokies at Tangalooma Island Resort in Moreton Island

Tangalooma Island Resort is a great spot for a weekend getaway, especially if you're after a relaxed beach escape.

Just go in with the right expectations - this isn't a luxury resort. It's a beach-style stay, so you'll find a bit of sand here and there, and parts of the property are a bit worn and could do with an upgrade. But honestly, it still does the job.

The staff are lovely and welcoming, which really adds to the experience. The food is also a highlight - plenty of options, but make sure you book ahead as it can get busy.

There's a lot to do, with great facilities and activities. The dolphin feeding experience is a standout and something you won't forget.

Overall, it's a fun, easy getaway close to Brisbane. Not luxury - but definitely enjoyable if you're after something a bit different.

We totally love this area, my kids love it. We all enjoy our stay. Beautiful place, accomodating staff, lots of activities to do. Never a dull day. Love the sand, so fine and clean. Delicious food lots of resto. We love the vibe in Tangalooma. They do have a set of activities in a week that start at 8pm everyday. We love the trivia, I hope next time we could come for Karaoke. We are also glad that we saw Geed Up, so entertaining. Everything is so worth it! Bonus you dont need a plane just a ferry, hassle free. Totally 🩷 it!

We loved our 4 night stay at a deep blue apartment. The most amazing view! The kitchen was well equipped and we brought our own food for the stay, as previous reviews mention the food outlets aren't the best. We loved the sand tobogganing and my husband did the atv ride with our youngest son on the back (7 years old). The feeding of dolphins was very popular and over quite quickly, but if you don't expect too much you'll find it quite magical!

Booked the snorkeling day drip. The 30mins of snorkelling was amazing! Felt very rushed to keep up though whilst trying to admire the fish! So many beautiful fish! The 60+mins of getting signed in, getting gear, and getting to and from the wrecks with 71 other tourists was not fun! Not even enough seats on the boat and the wet suits were all full of holes and don't even ask about the smell!
The food at the resort was awful! And the resort itself so very outdated with very little to do and very little shade to relax under whilst waiting for the snorkelling tour! In hindsight it would be a lot better and cheaper to bring your own snorkel and fins and go out to the wrecks yourself. It was very close to the shore.

Better than expected going by the reviews. Beds were comfy, room was clean and fresh. Food was great, just make sure you give yourself plenty of time if you book tours to eat. Island is stunning of course. Staff were really easy to talk to, boat was easy to navigate over. We did the snorkeler tour which my 6 year old found easy to do. We went in peak season. Would be fabulous when not so busy however this didn\'t bother us as it was run well
