An Extended Family Holiday on Your Own Private Island

Exclusive whole-house stays for up to 9 on Bedarra Island in the Great Barrier Reef, with separate pavilions so every generation has its own space.

Space for everyone

Together, With Room to Breathe

This is the multigenerational family holiday Queensland families dream about. The Pavilions of Bedarra is one of the few properties on Bedarra Island that welcomes children, and it’s big enough for extended family holidays. Book the Master Suite & Eagles Nest, add the Owner’s Pavilion, and up to 9 guests have the whole property to themselves.

Master Suite & Eagles Nest

Sleeps up to 5. A king (or split king) master bedroom with the Eagles Nest above: two king singles and a trundle, linked by an internal spiral staircase so parents stay close to the kids.

Owner’s Pavilion

Sleeps up to 4. A king bed plus two king singles, its own indoor bathroom, a kitchenette and a panoramic ocean-view balcony. Ideal for grandparents or a second family.

Living Pavilion

The heart of the house: a full chef’s kitchen, lounge, laundry and an outdoor dining deck with BBQ where everyone comes together.

Sleeps up to 9 guests

Minimum 3-night stay. See nightly rates.

Milestones & reunions

Made for Big Birthdays and Family Reunions

Celebrate a milestone birthday or anniversary, or simply get the cousins together. With exclusive use of the property there are no other guests to worry about, so kids can play, grandparents can relax and everyone can gather for long dinners on the deck.
