Description:
Australia’s only championship island golf course is just five minutes away on Dent Island, Hamilton Island’s neighbour in the Whitsunday Islands. Guarding the waters off central Queensland, Dent Island’s lighthouse has been a beacon for sailors since the 1870s. For many years Dent Island was visited only by grazing cattle and fishermen. Nowadays the island is not only a magnet for golfers, it’s ideally located for Dent Island day trips from Hamilton Island. Paddle a kayak over Dent Island’s coral reefs, snorkel with schools of tropical fish or hire a dingy and while away the day on a fishing expedition. The Island is home to hundreds of palm trees; good sunsets & sun rises; southern beach. Two existing buildings on the Island appear to be an incomplete resort facility, that may work well as sets or unit. There is a well (spring water). Western Beach - big level area of and for a build, very well protected from winds. An asset for the Island is that it is a stone’s throw away from the luxury resort and village island, Hamilton. In close proximity to Hamilton Island Airport. Access via ferry from Hamilton Island. Located 1190km (740 miles / 13hrs 50mins) from Village Roadshow Studios. The nearest airport is Hamilton Island Airport (HTI). Flights take approximately one hour and forty-five minutes from Brisbane Airport (BNE). The closest POH, Brisbane City, is 1127km (700 miles / 13hrs 20min) away.
