Welcome to your dream escape.
Tucked away along the northern stretch of 75 Mile Beach, Champagne Pools is one of K'gari's (Fraser Island's) most iconic natural wonders—and it's easy to see why. Just a short journey north from The Haven, these natural rock pools are more than just a photo opportunity. They are a feast for the senses, a place where the wild meets the tranquil in perfect harmony.
The pools are formed by volcanic rock that shelters crystal-clear basins from the powerful surf of the Coral Sea. As waves crash over the rock barrier, they fizz and bubble into the pools below—hence the name "Champagne Pools." It’s nature’s very own spa bath, minus the jets and chlorine, and with a whole lot more charm.
Unlike the open ocean, the pools are safe for swimming, making them a rare opportunity to soak in saltwater on this rugged side of the island. Here, you can float effortlessly as the sea swirls in, lie back on the rocks, or simply sit in the shallows and let the bubbles tickle your skin.
We always say: let the island show you how to slow down. At Champagne Pools, time seems to stop. All that matters is the gentle rush of the sea, the warm sun on your face, and the joy of being truly present.
Champagne Pools is about a 90-minute beach drive north of The Haven. As always on K'gari, travel is part of the magic—keep an eye out for wild dingoes, soaring sea eagles, and other native wildlife on the way. The journey takes you past the Maheno Shipwreck and Indian Head, offering stunning views at every turn.
Once you arrive, a boardwalk leads you to the pools with panoramic coastal views. It’s a short walk, but give yourself time to take it all in. This is a place to linger.
Whether you’re travelling solo, with a partner, or alongside friends, Champagne Pools offers something extraordinary. There’s a deep, healing stillness here—one that contrasts beautifully with the roar of the ocean just beyond the rocks.
You might read a book on a sun-warmed boulder, journal beside the tide, or simply let the sea breeze clear your mind. And if you're staying at The Haven, the comfort of your cozy beach house will be waiting for you after the day’s adventures.
The Haven on K’gari is the ideal base for visiting Champagne Pools. Our one- and two-bedroom beach houses offer quiet simplicity and stunning ocean views, where the only schedule is sunrise and sunset. We invite you to live on island time—set your watch aside and let nature lead the way.
Whether you’re planning a 3-day weekend or a longer escape, a visit to Champagne Pools is a must-do experience during your time on K’gari.
