I had never heard of East Bedarra Island until I discovered the retreat online. It’s a perfect place to unwind. No screaming children or noisy resort guests because you have the whole place to yourself. You can hear the water at night (because it’s lapping just metres away) and it’s always warm enough to sit outside for dinner and wile... More

We were the first to stay after the rebuild from Cyclone Yasi and it was superb! While the island vegetation is still regenerating our position perched on the edge of the island looking out was just perfect. The sound of the water lapping against the rocks was very relaxing. The accommodation is beautiful and everything has been thought of. More

We spent 1 week at East Bedarra during November 2009. This was the most relax place we´ve been in Australia and one of the most beautiful. This is a real place to a romantic vacation as well as a place to definitely rest. Private beach, stuning scenario, a very good ocean water pool, and all the quietness you may want.... More

I've never been one to believe in signs, but it seems that an impromptu getaway to East Bedarra Island Retreat was always meant to happen..... It started off with a trip to the dentist (unlikely introduction I know) impatiently flicking through some of the magazines whilst awaiting my fate, my eye paused on a page that enticed me with turqoise...

My husband and I have had the ultimate pleasure of holidaying at East Badara Island Retreat, it exceeded our highest expectations . We were totally blown away by the beauty and reality of this location especially that wonderful freedom to wake up at anytime day or night. We would have a champagne breakfast, then we would have a refreshing swim,... More

On our 5th anniversary we decided to try something different, after always holidaying at Monkey Mia & came across Bedarra Island. We like outdoor, natural settings & hate to be in a hotel surrounded by other people & "staged" environments. We found the island to be magical & were delighted that at high tide we were able to sit on... More

My partner and I have travelled the world including The Maldives, Seychelles and Santorini and I would rate East Bedarra among the best we have stayed in and I would even go as far as to compare it very much to Bora Bora where we stayed right on the lagoon. When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely couple... More

We have recently been to East Bedarra for our honeymoon and were so pleased we chose the Retreat. We had a mixed bag of weather, but rain or shine East Bedarra is the perfect place to get away and be together, especially after such a busy time leading up to our wedding. We chose East Bedarra Retreat so that we... More

Located right on the water, this place has a mesmerising view - but for $900 per night this doesn't live up to it's promises and is poor value. The website promises isolation & privacy - as there are other holiday rentals nearby, there's no guarantee for privacy. Cleaning and presentation standard needs to be lifted e.g. on our arrival an...
