Wilson Island

Enjoying the secluded beaches with turtles coming up to lay their eggs is so special.

It didn’t bother me but my partner found it hard to sleep with the birds chirping all night and the humidity they you couldn’t really escape.

Wilson Island is magical. It is simple luxury. Remote, untouched, but with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Nothing to do except swim, snorkel, read, enjoy the marine life and stare at the glorious views. I'll be back a third time.

The isolation was fabulous. Lack of phone service etc fabulous. Food service fabulous. Staff fabulous. Environment fabulous.

Maybe a little better fan for the heat?

Food was other level 😋 absolutely delicious. Staff super friendly. And the spot itself is exactly as you see on photos, paradise.

I liked everything!

Stunning view, high quality, clean, comfortable

The experience on Wilson was second to none. This is truely a private, personable and intimate experience. We were there with only 6 other guest one night and two other guests the other night. There were three people to look after us and the island. The French chef (Alex) took care of all the meals, which were high-end restaurant material. He made special Vegan meals for my wife and I, that were absolutely delicious. Open bar with a great wine selection, and a bottle of Champagne (yes the French and only version) for anniversary and birthday. The glamping tent was located in a beautiful spot. There were kayaks/SUPs to use. The bathrooms were clean and convenient (they are not attached to the tents, and shared if the island is full, we had a private one as there were not many people and could use a spare one too). The corals around the island are in great shape, which makes snorkelling a delight. We did not see too many large fish/rays/sharks, but plenty of reef fish and turtles. The price? High, but I would say worth it.

Wilson Island is paradise. Seriously. It is a 5 star eco-sanctuary. It's a bit of a trek from Sydney but the 2 boat rides to get there from Gladstone are pert of the trip. We saw whales as we arrived at Herron Island. On Wilson we swam with 1 m turtles, reef sharks, and gazillions of fish varieties. The fish aren't afraid of people as there are no more than 18 people at a time on Wilson. There were 4 of us. The coral and sand is pristine. Azure ocean. The hosts, Sheree and Alex are a perfect balance of friendly and relaxed, and 5 star service. Incredibly thoughtful and interesting people. Our chef, Prune, worked in a 2 Michelin Star restaurant in France for 7 years. The food was exquisite! We slept comfortably. The view from the tent was beautiful. Couldn't be better. We'll be back again soon.

Amazing 🏝️
