On site management
Run by people who are here, seven days a week
Pandanus Palms is managed from the resort itself, not by a remote agency or a call centre. Reception is in the grounds, so checking in, asking what is worth doing on the island, or getting something sorted means speaking to someone who is on the property.
Reception in the grounds
Open seven days. Monday to Friday 9.00am to 4.00pm, Saturday 9.00am to 12.00pm, and Sunday and public holidays 9.00am to 11.00am.

03 / The headland reserve
A thousand square metres of headland, kept for guests
An open headland reserve adjoins the resort, made available for the enjoyment of Pandanus Palms guests by the Quandamooka People. It sits on one of Point Lookout's most striking coastal vantage points, with uninterrupted views across the Coral Sea and the Pacific.
It is open to guests twenty-four hours a day, which makes it a quiet alternative to the public lookouts. A picnic blanket is supplied in every villa, so bring it along with a grazing platter made in your kitchen, a bottle of wine or a morning coffee.

06 / Getting here
Three legs from Brisbane to your balcony
Every ferry and water taxi runs from Toondah Harbour at Cleveland to Dunwich, on the island’s western side. What changes is how you cross, and how you cover the last twenty-two kilometres to Point Lookout. You can make the whole trip without a car.

Check in / out 2.00pm / 9.30am
Get to Toondah Harbour, Cleveland
About 30 km from the Brisbane CBD
Train, then the Flyer courtesy bus
Take the Cleveland line from Central to Cleveland station. The Stradbroke Flyer courtesy bus offers free transport from the station to the harbour, shortly before each water taxi departure.
Drive to the harbour
Old Cleveland Road runs most of the way from the city out to the harbour. The simplest option if you are taking the car across on the ferry.
Flying in
Brisbane Airport is about 40 minutes from the harbour by road on the M1 with tolls. Without a car, take the Airtrain into Central and change to the Cleveland line.
Cross to Dunwich
25 to 45 minutes on the water
Stradbroke Flyer water taxi
Passengers only, landing at One Mile Jetty. Buy a ticket at the Cleveland office or on board. This is the boat the island bus is timed to meet.
SeaLink vehicle ferry
Carries your car across to the Junner Street terminal, and takes walk-on passengers too. Worth booking ahead in school holidays and through whale season.
Your own boat
There are ramps at One Mile in Dunwich and at Amity Point. You still have the island road to cover from either one.
Cross the island to Point Lookout
22 km, about 20 minutes
The island bus
Translink route 880 meets the water taxis at Dunwich and runs on through Amity Point to Point Lookout, roughly hourly through the day.
Transfers and taxis
Stradeasy runs transfers from both terminals to the door, and the Stradbroke Cab Service covers the island. Book either before you travel.
Drive yourself
One sealed road runs east across the island. Every villa has its own free undercover parking at the other end.
That is the whole trip. Reception is at 21 Cumming Parade, Point Lookout.
Times are a guide. The operators set their own timetables and fares, and both change with the season.
