Capable of housing up to 20 guests across a beautiful four-bedroom main house, three luxurious villas and a sumptuously self-contained Boat House, this 25 acre heart-shaped island features all the exclusivity one would expect from a Branson-backed island escape.
Adorned with unique antiques lovingly sourced from South East Asia, there’s more than a touch of Bali about this grand Golden Coast retreat. Boasting stunning open-plan entertainment areas, exquisite gardens and bathtubs made from carved volcanic boulders, Makepeace makes for an unforgettable Australian island escape.

Activities
The activities offered on the island are enough to keep even the most adventurous guest entertained with a full size tennis court, lagoon swimming pool, Hobie cats, kayaks, stand up paddle boards and equipment for wake-boarding, water skiing and river fishing. For a slightly slower pace guests can relax in the 15-person hot tub, enjoy a therapeutic or remedial massage, sip cocktails in the island bar or watch a DVD in the indoor theatre or outdoor moonlight cinema. Alternatively, why not take a stroll on our island walking track taking in the wildlife including our resident kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and kookaburras.
Travelling further afield, beachside picnics are another popular option, as well as trips to the Great Barrier Reef and the Golden Coast.
Best Time To Travel
Makepeace Island boasts a tropical climate with temperatures of around 27° C all year round. The “winter” months (June – September) are particularly popular, presenting guests with equally warm temperatures with less of the humidity.
How To Get There
Brisbane (Queensland’s Capital City) is a leisurely 1 hour 30 minute drive and flights to nearby Maroochydore Airport are available from all major Australian cities. From here, guests will be whisked to Noosa Harbour Marina, before taking a 10 minute river cruise to their final destination.
