Products / Accommodation / Australia / Lizard Island

Indulge in luxury at the Barrier Reefs' most famous resort

Although the bustle of civilization is left far behind on Lizard, there is still a most pleasing element of sophistication, an ample supply of rare delights.

Could it be the tantalizing array of island activities, or the comfort and appointments of the island's accommodations? Perhaps... but almost certainly, the fine food and excellent hospitality play a major role in the overwhelming contentment you will enjoy.

Dive Sites

The famous dive site Cod Hole is just a one hour boat ride away from Lizard Island Resort. Also the Ribbon Reefs are quickly and easily accessible from the resort. There is fantastic snorkelling in Watson's Bay.

Property Features

The romantically inclined might chose the outdoor ambience of dining on the beach. As for the tempting menu, the Lodge is rightly renowned for the superb fare which is fully included in your cost.

The theme is "Cuisine Moderne" and the accent is on fresh local seafood, garden produce, tropical fruits and the most succulent tender meats, all of which are prepared with more than a dash of innovation. The natural attributes, the service, the standards...all second to none, are truly the secret to Lizard Island's unique and unforgettable holiday experience.

Swimming pool, tennis court, (equipment supplied) a relaxing Health Spa - It's not exactly Robinson Crusoes island. The central Lodge features a relaxing lounge area, Osprey's restaurant and bar with a menu boasting international cuisine, a boutique and a reception area for arranging activities.

Lizard Island is a National Park covering over 1000 hectares, with 24 sandy beaches and the famous Blue Lagoon, - home to giant clams and coral gardens. The highest peak is Cooks Look at 359 meters. Children under 10 are not allowed at Lizard Island Resort.

Accommodation

The exclusiveness of the resort is indicated by the low number of guests. Lizard Island Lodge has 40 private rooms, all with private balcony, king or twin beds, air conditioning, ceiling fans, private bathroom with twin vanity basins and shower, IDD/STD telephone, fridge, mini bar and iron/ironing board, hairdryer and bathrobes.

Dive Services

It is not possible to pre-book diving. Diving at the outer reef is offered only every second day. One of those 2 dives is always at the Cod Hole. 2 dives on a full day trip cost AUD$310 with tanks & weights. On the other days, reefs closer to the island are visited at a cost of AUD$200 with tanks & weights.

Introductory dive courses available to people in good health. Persons over 45 years are recommended to obtain a dive medical certificate prior arrival. Also on offer PADI referral courses for students who have completed all theory and confirmed water components.

Other Activities

Lizard Island rates are virtually all inclusive, covering accommodation, all meals, and most activities including tennis, windsurfing, water-skiing, catamaran sailing, glass bottom boat trips, paddle skis, outboard dinghies, basic fishing gear, snorkelling gear, bushwalking, hiking and picnics.

Lizard is every fisherman's dream, where the fishing remains fast and furious all year round. Barracuda, Spangled Emperor, Yellowfin, Dogtooth Tuna, Sailfish, Spanish Mackerel and Giant Trevally - these are just some of the excellent sports fishing to be had when you fish the rich tropical waters off Lizard Island. *Pre-booking is highly recommended.

For the serious fisherman, Lizard offers the thrill of Big Game fishing between September and November. The world famous annual Black Marlin Classic staged in October every year has resulted in the Lizard Island Game Fishing Club becoming home to a remarkable 7 World records and 2 Australian records.
