The Island

Lady Elliot Island is a Coral Cay of 42 Hectares (100 acres) in area with a low key 49 room resort. The island has its own airstrip which is located on the eastern side and serviced daily by Whitaker Air Charter. Lady Elliot Island (also known as 'The Lazy Lady' )is a true Coral Cay which has evolved over thousands of years and is an important sea-bird and turtle rookery site. Whales can also be seen passing by from June to October.

The Resort

A relaxing, laid-back atmosphere in tune with nature and the sea. The environmentally-oriented resort on Australia's Great Barrier Reef has no phones - no TV - no radio - no hassles. Guest numbers are limited on the island and this allows first hand experiences of nesting birds - some 50 species including the unique Red Tailed Tropic Birds.

Green and loggerhead turtles come ashore between November and March and lay their eggs and after the incubation period - normally eight weeks - gives you the unique opportunity to see the turtles hatchlings scurrying to the ocean.

Education Centre - a close up on nature.

Most facets of the Great Barrier Reef and its inhabitants can be found in the Education Centre. Displays, videos, slides and a small library plus guided walks and talks by our knowledgeable staff make your stay interesting and rewarding.

The Resort Souvenir Gift Shop has a limited range of pharmaceutical lines as well as a range of resort souvenir items, clothing, beach towels, magazines and newspapers. There is a Bistro and Pool Side Bar where lunch, cold drinks, tea/coffee and snacks can be purchased.
