Haggerstone
Island is only accessible
by air to a neighbouring island,
it is an incredibly remote and unspoilt
Robinson Crusoe retreat approximately
600 kilometres north from Cairns, and
a few miles from a wild stretch of the
northern Great Barrier Reef mainland
coast.
Haggerstone
is a truly unique and wonderful place
- a small complex of tropical timber
buildings, gardens, orchard and dams;
set amidst true wilderness country,
teeming with fish and bird life and
surrounded by some of the most magnificent
pristine coral gardens in the world.

Catering
for a small numbers of guests (6-8)
you will live well, eat well and as
one guest put it "survive in style",
Haggerstone provides a unique base from
which to ramble or explore, or... just
to be.
The
marine life on Haggerstone is simply
unbelievable.... shipwrecks, beach combing
for WW2 artifacts, snorkelling, and
the fishing... and complemented by a
superb yet simple mouth watering cuisine
featuring all fresh natural foods. The
incredible remoteness of Haggerstone
ensures an experience very rare on this
planet. If you value absolute simplicity
above all else - no maids, TV, mobile
phones, computers, mirrors or egos,
this is it.
Anna
and Roy Turner came to Haggerstone in
April 1985 with a 70 ton barge loaded
with poles, timber, fruit trees, chickens
and an old tractor. The island was jungle
covered, uninhabited and hundreds of
miles from what we know as civilisation.
They were not to know they were to spend
nearly six years alone on the island,
as they set out to create a Robinson
Crusoe style abode in the wild. Haggerstone
Island is their home and an Island Guesthouse,
and they welcome you to their home and
hope you enjoy your stay.
