PONTOON ACCOMMODATION, GREAT BARRIER REEF
Lady Musgrave HQ, Queensland’s newest pontoon accommodation, is located in the protected waters of Lady Musgrave Island Lagoon in the Capricorn Bunker Islands. It is a perfect base for exploring the Great Barrier Reef and a must-do when visiting Bundaberg with friends or family.
Luxury pontoon accommodation provides guests with a new way to experience the Great Barrier Reef and Lady Musgrave Island.
The 35-meter-long, 12-meter-wide boat provides independent snorkel and dive platforms, as well as seamless access to high-speed dive boats for the ultimate scuba diving experience. The glass bottom boat allows you to stay dry while seeing the local tropical fish and marine life. And the luxury catamaran Reef Empress takes you far into the Great Barrier Reef for amazing views of the area’s natural beauty.
The pontoon accommodation underwater observatory is a popular attraction for day guests and overnight visitors alike. By day you can view the spectacular marine life and stunning corals, and by night enjoy live a board-style bunk accommodation for up to 20 guests while viewing abundant marine life.
This overnight option is the perfect choice for dive groups or school groups who are looking for a unique way to experience the Great Barrier Reef.
For a truly adventurous glamping experience, you can sleep both above and below the surface in a Lower Deck Double Glamping Bed, topped by an Upper Deck Island View Queen Glamping Bed.
Overnight stays on our pontoon accommodation include, meals and snorkelling equipment hire departing from the Bundaberg Port Marina.
Our unique accommodation can accommodate two people, with shared amenities, private hot shower cubicles and locker storage.
Enjoy three meals a day prepared by our onboard chef using fresh local produce, with unbeatable reef views on the pontoon deck or indulge in a picnic hamper on Lady Musgrave Island with your own private beach.
The pontoon is the most sustainable, eco-friendly boat ever built. Above the waterline, solar panels and wind turbines provide power; below the waves, coral cultivation and Citizen Science programs give back to our planet’s greatest natural treasure.
