Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many people can stay in the house?

Q: Are there any shops?

Q: Can we go fishing?
A: Yes, you can fish off the rocks on the island and there are charter boats available to take you to the outer barrier reef.
Q: Can we use our hairdryer?

A: The house has its own water supply, and as water is a very precious commodity for us all, we ask that you conserve water wherever possible.
Q: Can I take my pet?
A: You can't take your pet onto the island as we want to preserve the natural wildlife.
Q: What birds have you seen?
A: Birdlife on the island depends on the season. We have a few permanent residents such as the Noisy Pitta, orange footed scrub fowl, yellow bellied sunbird, oyster catchers, white throated night jar and the beautiful family of white bellied sea eagles that fly by every day.
Q: Are there other houses on the island?
A: Yes, we have a caretaker’s residence and there are six other houses. We all enjoy the privacy of the island so ask that you do not enter the other properties unless invited.
Q: What is the weather like on Bedarra Island?
A: As it is located in Tropical North Queensland the climate is tropical. This means temperatures range from a pleasant 18–35ºC degrees over the wet season (November - March) with less humidity and rain in the warm winters, known as the dry season (April - November). Any time on Bedarra Island is a beautiful time to enjoy secluded paradise. The winter months are a special time of the year with the opportunity to sight migrating whales.
We hope to welcome you, and share in the natural beauty of one of far North Queensland’s best kept secrets.
