Wow from the moment we arrive at the marina we were welcome and looked after. This is the perfect escape. We stayed in the Oyster Box and only had 28 steps to the beach each morning. The kids enjoyed there time playing and exploring. Although they had a full house this was only 15 people in total so we were... More

31 friends and family hired Pumpkin for New Years Eve 2012. It could not have been a better way to bring in the new year. Peace and quiet if you wanted it, chatting with friends, swimming, kayaking, reading, sleeping, exploring.....the list goes on. All the cabins were beautifully presented and you felt like you were in your own piece of... More

Like nesting turtles our family excitedly found our way back to Pumpkin for another unforgettable stay. We four, my wife and I and our teenage sons travelled with two other families this time. Each family had their well-equipped, quaint cottage complete with great deck seemingly on top of the beach and water to totally immerse you in Island life. Great... More

Visited Pumpkin with my wife and 18 month old son and had the time of our lives. I travel around the world selling wine for a living and have stayed in more than one or two hotels in my time. Pumpkin Island is such a refreshing change I can't wait to go back. It is not 5 star resort style... More

We were absolutely blown away by how special this little place is! We had a fantastic weekend made absolutely perfect by wonderful hosts & staff. We were lucky enough to see a sting ray, turtle, osprey & giant clam while kayaking only meters from the island. Coral Cove was a perfect hideaway and we felt so relaxed and at home.... More
