Kingfisher Bay Resort fully reflects the nature of the Australian architecture style. The building is up to two floors high to ensure that it does not exceed the height of the surrounding trees and uses a grass-green corrugated iron roof that cleverly blends with the surrounding natural forests. The roof of the main building is modelled on the undulating sand dune arc design, and the use of local log materials, full of fashion, but also closely echoes the theme of sand island; Lobby staircase design, adding a sense of spacious space, but also to ensure the natural circulation of air without the need to use air conditioning; The resort rooms built on sand, in order to avoid blocking the flow of sand, have adopted the most Queensland style of tall-footed house design, not only to enhance the natural light of the room, but also to add the natural landscape of the room. Each room has a different view of the sea, lake and rainforest. The hotel area is connected by a long plank trestle so that you can walk to the rain forest and lake at any time without harming the surrounding plants.
Excellent design, Australian style, Queensland characteristics, Fraser Island personality blend interpretation, in Kingfisher Bay Resort play incisively and vividly.
Kingfisher Bay Resort landscape plants, all from the sand island plants. During the construction of the hotel, the original one hundred and fifty thousand plants were temporarily transferred to the plantation. After the hotel was completed, it moved back here. In this way, the survival rate of plants can be guaranteed and the species of plants on sand island will not be destroyed. Through planting, grafting or transplanting, the resort plants have reached 160 different varieties.
All of Kingfisher Bay Resort's outdoor lighting systems are energy efficient and electronically sensitive, while in-room lighting is controlled by keycard switches, saving eight hundred and fifty thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. Windows and bathrooms without curtains are an elaborate masterpiece of energy conservation and enjoyment. In a safe environment that uses natural light and is not disturbed, the plants and birds outside the window are clearly visible, making you feel as if you were bathing with them in the rainforest. This unique experience, I believe only here in the resort will have the chance to get.
