Firstly, Moreton Island is the epitome of untouched paradise. We swam with dolphins, snorkelled, fished and climbed the dunes, the weather was perfect the sky was blue and the ocean was some of the most amazing colours I've ever seen. The staff at the Bulwer General Store (where the Eco Resort is located are brilliant, helpful, friendly and full of... More

OUR EXPERIENCE: UNIT 3 - outdated decor but very large, absolutely clean, flat screen tv - very unexpected, generator power necessary unless you wish to sit in the dark, have no refrigeration, fans or TV, of course to boil water you used either the microwave or the gas cooktop. The store was very modern and appeared recently updated as was... More

Thank you for your honest feedback. We have made huge changes to the Eco Lodge since your visit. Every room has had a fresh coat of paint, all floors have been replaced from carpet to timber/vinyl and the bathrooms in every unit are being upgraded as we speak. It is always difficult to maintain a unit on an Island where... More

My family takes an annual holiday to beautiful Moreton Island and for the past 6-7 years we have been staying at these units at Bulwer which have recently been renamed 'Eco Lodge'. After this years 5 night stay, we will not return to this accommodation until a serious upgrade has occurred. We have only ever expected budget accommodation as was... More

Nice quiet place for couples especially if you like fishing and your own company - make sure you stock up on essentials as transport around the island is limited and services. More

This is not a reflection on the staff, but the accommodation. All communication with staff was very helpful and friendly. The facility was definitely not what we expected. We purchased the Cudo deal for $299 and figured if it was't up to scratch then at least the deal covered our 4wd and passenger fare on the Micat and we would... More

We recently stayed 2 nights at the Morten Island Eco Village. We had purchased a deal from Cudo, so was really good value. The units were not what I was expecting. I was picturing little two bedroom units all the same, like what you get in caravan parks. Well they were all different. Different sizes, different bathrooms and kitchens and... More

Basic does not begin to describe this place. The accommodation was substandard to say the least. I was unable to use either the gas stove top or the gas oven as there was a serious leak that filled the entire unit with the smell of gas when switched on. All cooking, including boiling water for drinking was done in the... More
