Salty Towers
Official PartnerWake to rolling surf and ocean horizons from Happy Valley's peaceful Second Valley on K'gari (formerly Fraser Island). **An elevated beach house with sweeping ocean views, generous decks and space for up to 10, Salty Towers is a calm, central base to explore K'gari's eastern side—just a short walk to the beachfront.** Set high above the foreshore, Salty Towers pairs relaxed coastal living with easy island access. From the living room, bedrooms and expansive decks, you can gaze over the nearshore and beyond, wander to the beach in minutes, and return to a home designed with high vaulted ceilings, exposed timber and a loft bedroom that brings the outdoors in. Its central position on the eastern seaboard makes day trips simple, while Happy Valley's township services keep things effortless and low-key. Where is Salty Towers and what makes the location special? Salty Towers sits in Second Valley at Happy Valley on K'gari's east coast, elevated for big ocean views and coastal breezes. It's a short walk to the beachfront and dune systems, offering easy access for beach strolls, fishing or quiet contemplation right from the property. How many guests can stay and what's the house like? The house accommodates up to 10 people. Architectural touches—pole construction, soaring ceilings, exposed timber and a loft overlooking the living area—create a warm, open feel. Large decks extend the living space outdoors, ideal for sunrise coffees, stargazing and watching for passing whales in season. Which K'gari highlights are easy to reach from here? Happy Valley's central position on K'gari's east coast puts a remarkable spread of island icons within day-trip range. Highlights along the eastern beach corridor include Eli Creek, the Maheno Wreck, Lake Wabby, The Pinnacles, Indian Head and Champagne Pools to the north, and the freshwater jewel of Lake McKenzie and the ancient rainforest at Central Station further inland. Beyond the well-trodden stops, quieter corners of the island reward those who wander a little further. What can you do without getting in the 4WD? Stay in and soak up the views, stroll to the beach for a fish or a wander along the dunes, watch birdlife and native fauna, or settle in on the deck for star-filled nights. In the right season, keep an eye out for whales cruising offshore from the comfort of the house. What amenities are nearby in Happy Valley? Happy Valley offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere than some of the island's larger nodes, with everyday essentials close at hand. The township sits within a fenced boundary with controlled entry points that help protect visitors and wildlife alike—including K'gari's famous dingoes. Fraser Island Retreat is a short distance away and provides a useful base of support for island visitors, including access to emergency medical resources and help with transport options. How do you get here and get around? K'gari is accessed by island barge and ferry services, with on-island taxi transfers and scenic flight options available.
