The Eli unit is designed to be the next best thing to camping on the beach with toilets, hot showers, running water and a 48v solar power system (with back-up generator). No more dragging all the gear up the beach and losing hours of lost time setting up and pulling down your camp!

THE LOCATION:
Centrally located (approximately half-way up the eastern coast of the Island), Happy Valley is the perfect base to head north and explore the likes of Eli Creek, Maheno Shipwreck, Indian Head and Champagne Pools. Heading south will take you to Lake Wabby, Eurong and across the Island to Central Station and Lake McKenzie. Explore beaches, lakes, creeks, rainforests, 4x4 tracks, sand-blows and endless scenery. A short 150m walk along the elevated boardwalk provides direct access to the beach.

PLEASE NOTE: we do have on-site Property Caretakers who reside in the adjacent unit at this complex. This is NOT a party Unit and all guests are asked to be respectful of both our caretakers and your neighbours and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm.

If you’re looking for a great place to stay on a budget this is the place for you and your closest friends. Friendly greeting on arrival with clean presentation of all rooms and the outside meals area. Just what the doctor ordered after a day out on the sand.
