"The best down to earth luxury"

9.0

It’s just the most stunning location you can imagine. We were there at the beginning of the breading seasons for turtles and different birds which was brilliant. You do have to have strong ears at night to accommodate their cacophonies. Liam, our cook, outdid himself with every meal, really impressive making the experience top notch. And the tents are very comfortable.

The Heron Island organization seems biting itself in the tale every once in a while. The restrictive boat schedule and excessive cost of alternative transportation counter the idea of accommodating luxury travelers. Heron Island staff if doing their best however to patch up these managerial problems.

"Paradise Found."

10.0

The fantastic staff, Nick, Beth and Ben, really looked after everybody, and no request was too big or too small. The location and the seclusion were super relaxing. The snorkelling was unbelievable!

Personally, I loved everything about the property. It might not be for everyone, as you do have communal showers and toilets due to their commitment to preserving the environment. The benefit of which is seeing the abundance of wildlife on the island.

"An espresso for your soul! Returned home absolutely rejuvenated."

10.0

Wilson island is not for those who want pure pampered luxury. No on-suites, no pool, no massage or spa. BUT…if you are a lover of nature and ecology, birds, turtles and coral reefs it IS the place for you. Here the luxury is uninterrupted nature. The only interruptions, if it can be called as that, are the delicious meals prepared by the wonderful chef ( we had Nick), and the incredible helpful interactions with staff (Elisha and Tom). These three people had everything working like clockwork and kept everything clean and tidy. It was our second visit and we are planning to be back again! For us, absolute perfection!

Water clarity for snorkeling could have been better, but that’s nature for you. We still loved it and so did our fellow visitors to Wilson
