About this house rental

Hakuna Matata means " No worries mate" and it is a magnificently fully serviced house situated at Orchid Beach on Fraser Island, which is family friendly that is open plan living area and features 4 bedrooms, 2 toilets.

We have four bedrooms at Hakuna Matata, 2 have queen beds, and the other 2 have three single beds in each, a total of 8 beds.

The house has two toilets, the kitchen, dinning and lounge room is one large room (open plan) as not to exclude guests while other are cooking delicious food in the fully functioning kitchen.

Outside there is a huge insulated undercover BBQ area with a table that will easily seat 12 -14 guests ( custom made by me) and a 6 burner BBQ for the budding chefs in all of us.

Did i mention there is a fire ring outside for those cooler nights or just for the romantic evenings sitting around a fire watching the flames dance.

As you can tell I am very passionate about this wonderful place as i have built it with my own two hands for my family and friends to enjoy and to us people we have not yet met or stayed with us are friends we just have not yet met.

You will feel right at home from the first time you step though the door. You, your family and friends will fondly remember the wonderful experience Fraser Island has given you with the assistance of Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata is well positioned and easily accessible. All the amenities required for the perfect family holiday on Fraser Island. Large kitchen and dining area to accommodate the whole family, large outdoor area to enjoy an afternoon drink and watch the kids as they play on the large grassed area in the safe fenced area of Orchid Beach. Short drive to Waddy Point to watch the perfect sunrises and sunsets. We will definitely be back!

Two families shared this property of which we fit well. Plenty of table seating inside and outside to cater 11 people. Kitchen is well appointed. This is a basic property but future guests should be prepared if staying in summer the shed home is unbearably hot so please take battery fans as sleep is impossible. Communication with owner was good. 3 lights were not working. Light bulbs were delivered for one outside light which we would have had to pull apart to replace but not the lights we needed more.. Maintenance required which would have helped our stay included - mown lawns, grass was overgrown attracting mosquitos, -fire pit was overflowing with tree branches to the point we didn’t realise it was a fire pit - undercover clothes line would have been very helpful in rain -the lounges are old and have had broken bases so are replaced with uncomfortable wooden boards to sit on - not sufficient washing detergent or toilet paper supplied for the week - no towel rails in the bathroom Overall a basic comfortable property for say a men’s fishing trip . It’s not suited to a hot summer stay without taking battery fans etc but was clean inside.

This was in a great location. House was big enough for our 3 families. Owner was great when we had to call him as we ran out of gas and had it sorted quickly. The house is basic, bathrooms are old and tired. Shower head needs replacing as it’s rusty. Shower curtains needs replacing as there were mould spots The beds were comfortable. Kitchen was functional and had everything we needed ( except for a sharp knife ) We loved the big indoor dining table and outdoor table as all of us could eat together Large fish cleaning station was great and big BBQ so we could cook all the meat at once All in all was a nice holiday

Very reasonable accommodation, clean and tidy. Requires you to be concious around water and power usage due to having tank water and solar power only. It didn't really effect us but be sure to take a battery fan during warm weather. Location made it a little difficult to travel around the island but that was more to do with tides. We had 7 people in our crew and found it comfortable and value for money, we would probably stay a little further south next time or plan to move around the island to assist with seeing all the sites. But if you are looking to just relax and spend sometime in the one place, it would be perfect. The host Christopher replied to all our emails prior to arrival and was accommodating to our change or plans during the time leading up to the stay. Thank you Christopher, we all had a great time

The house was clean and had most things that we needed, my only complaint is there is no ceiling fans or anywhere we can plug in anything, it was very hot at night sleeping without any ceiling fans in summer. But house was very tidy and functioned well

Shed house suited for fisherman

Shed house suited for fisherman

Orchid beach is very special and as part of the remoteness the costs are high in all areas, including accomodation. This is understandable. However a few conditions didn’t meet our expectations for a holiday accomodation. Taking this into account there was still some factors that were challenging and not up to the standard of holiday accomodation (unless I suppose advertised as ‘2-3 stars’.) We would like to note- In summer, recommend bringing high powered fans (such as markita). Our $20 USB chargeable fans weren’t sufficient as inside was so much hotter than outside. The hose can’t reach the car and other houses do have access to a hose that can clean their car. Couldn’t work out how to use the washing machine- seemed locked, no instructions. Cleanliness is average. Got use to the mould in the shower. Oven- one gas burner only works Neighbours- on our last night a group of guys arrived and were shooting some sort of gun when we were outside. This place is remote from the rest of orchid, so a bit intimidating for our teenage girls. I can see this would be perfect for a group of guys fishing.

Lots of other places in orchid beach that are way better!

Lots of other places in orchid beach that are way better!

We arrived at the house late arvo and first thing to do was cook for the kids,but the 2 gas lighters provided to light the stove had no gas,the washing machine has been left out the back in the rain and does not work,the grass was overgrown and not maintained, there was a quarter of a used toilet roll with no spares in sight and we were advised on arrival the t.v did not work, although chris tried to solve these problems it was not good enough as we clearly had paid alot of money to be there and he is not maintaining his property. i could understand if it was only one issue but this was just a joke. I have now asked for a discount of one night and he has just made alot of excuses about how its remote and no one can fix the problems although every other holiday goer we spoke to had no problems with any of their houses......very dissapointing.

Out stay at Hakuna Mata was easy with no problems. It was just my wife, 2 kids and myself staying so plenty of room although house is setup well for larger groups. Open plan kitchen and living area was our favourite part of house with plenty of bench space and kitchen equipment to use. We will be back again for sure

Great little setup. It has everything you need for Fraser. Why carry all of your camp gear to Fraser when you can stay at hakuna matata. It was like a home away from home. Perfect for 2 families or 4 blokes on a fishing trip. I’ll be recommending this to anyone thinking of going to Fraser.
