Our Story
From the humble beggining.
K'gari Stay
K’gari Stay is more than a business for us—it’s a dream that grew into a way of life.
We’re Adam Bush and Sharyn O’Keeffe, and our story began years ago working in hotels. That’s where we first met, and where we discovered not only a love for hospitality, but also for each other. We shared the same spark—wanting to create something special for people, where every stay feels like more than just a holiday.
Over time, that spark grew into a dream: one day, we’d have our own properties on Fraser Island, as it was known at the time, the island we both fell in love with. We imagined spaces where families could laugh together, couples could unwind, and adventurers could return to comfort after a big day exploring.
Starting with one property, we rolled up our sleeves, poured our hearts into renovations, and learned as we went. We found that we loved the process—transforming houses into welcoming holiday homes and watching guests light up when they walked in the door.
Today, that dream has become five beautiful properties across K’gari. Each one has its own story, but they all carry the same heart: thoughtful details, warm touches, and a focus on making sure every guest feels at home. For us, nothing is more rewarding than seeing people make memories in the spaces we’ve created.
This is still just the beginning of our journey, and we’re so excited to keep growing, renovating, and welcoming more guests to the island that stole our hearts.
Our Mission
Our mission at K’gari Stay is to create holiday homes that feel warm, welcoming, and full of heart.
We want every guest to experience not only the beauty of K’gari, but also the care and thought we put into every detail of their stay.
For us, it’s about more than providing a place to sleep—it’s about crafting spaces where families connect, friends celebrate, and couples make memories that last long after they’ve left the island.
With each renovation, each property, and each guest, our passion is to go beyond expectations and share the magic of K’gari in a way that feels personal, genuine, and unforgettable.
Local Passion, Personal Touch
K’gari Stay isn’t run by a corporation — it’s built from our personal dream and passion for hospitality.
Every property reflects the care, warmth, and attention to detail we would want for our own holiday.
Guests aren’t just booking a stay; they’re experiencing a little piece of what we love most about K’gari.
Unique, Comfortable Homes
We take pride in thoughtfully renovating each of our five properties to combine island charm with modern comfort.
Whether it’s a family escape, a romantic retreat, or an adventure with friends, our homes are designed to make every stay easy, comfortable, and memorable.
Exceeding Expectations, Every Time
For us, hospitality is about going beyond the basics. From the smallest details in your accommodation to the tips we share about exploring the island, our goal is always to exceed expectations and help create unforgettable experiences on K’gari.
