Experience one of Australia’s most spectacular and sought-after destinations with a stay at the self-contained Palm Bungalows on stunning Hamilton Island – the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. The idyllic, freestanding Palm Bungalows are dotted throughout landscaped gardens and perfect for couples or small families looking for a tropical home away from home. Best of all, kids stay and eat free.

Each breezy bungalow has modern interiors, a king bed, large ensuite bathroom and a private balcony where you can enjoy the warm ocean breeze. Better yet, the bungalows have a small kitchenette, allowing you to self-cater. Minutes from your doorstep, you can lounge on the shores of pristine beaches or take the short hike to the highest point on the island, Passage Peak, for breathtaking views.

Great service!

I have just returned from my first holiday where I was astounded by the value for money, so on my return I went straight back online to book my next break. Excellent service received from Joel S today when I needed to amend my second booking. Happy days!
