Beautiful one day, home the next
The holidays need never end with this incredible opportunity to buy a premier island property
2 min
Heading back to the office after a sunny summer vacay is enough to bring on those post holiday blues. For those with the funds though, access to sun, sand and sea need never end with the opportunity to buy this island home and business on one of Australia’s best-known holiday destinations.
Located on the Pacific Ocean side of K’gari Fraser Island off the Queensland coast, Lots 1-5 Yidney Drive offers five three-bedroom holiday units, including manager’s unit, on 806sqm of land just 25m from the sand.
The local shop, bar and bistro are 1km down the road at Happy Valley Township.
Agent Todd McKee from McGrath Real Estate Mooloolaba reports that turnover is slow on the island and the units have a 75 percent occupancy rate with bookings two years in advance. The property last traded 14 years ago.
“This is a trophy buy,” he says. “It is the best spot on K’gari Fraser Island. A major attraction for buyers is that it’s freehold title rather than leasehold. That makes it a more secure proposition.
“We’ve had a lot of inquiry already and we’ve only just started advertising. We’re seeing interest from corporate clients looking to buy to use for client entertainment and staff incentives and rewards. Other buyers just want a slice of the island to call their own.”
K’gari, meaning paradise, is on Butchulla country and is the world’s largest sand island and was listed as a World Heritage Area in 1992. It is known for its natural beauty, drawing visitors each year to its unique landscapes including rainforest, dune, lake and soil systems.
Address: Lots 1-5 Yidney Drive, K’gari Fraser Island
Price guide: $5.9m

Citizen Kanebridge expands into Sydney’s fast-growing Norwest corridor, bringing the club back to the region where the Kanebridge story was shaped more than two decades ago.

Citizen Kanebridge, one of Australia’s premier private members’ clubs, will open a new chapter in Sydney’s fast-growing Norwest corridor, expanding its physical footprint to meet its property, finance and investment membership base where they live and work.
The club’s primary premises remains the Royal Automobile Club of Australia on Macquarie Street in the Sydney CBD — one of Australia’s most distinguished institutions — where Citizen Kanebridge members continue to enjoy full access to its storied facilities at the heart of the city.
The new Norwest chapter, to be known as Citizen Kanebridge Norwest, will be developed in partnership with Momento Hospitality, with the venue’s top floor facility serving as the primary location for key events.
Norwest has emerged as one of Sydney’s fastest-growing commercial and residential corridors, increasingly home to the developers, financiers and investors at the heart of the Citizen Kanebridge community. The move places the club at the centre of the growth story many of its members are most engaged in.
“Norwest is where the city is moving,” said Ruba Jaajaa, COO of Kanebridge Media. “For a club built around property, finance and investment conversations, it’s simply the right place to be.”
For Jaajaa, the expansion carries a personal resonance as much as a strategic one.
“There is also a wonderful sense of coming full circle in bringing Citizen Kanebridge to Norwest,” she said. “More than 20 years ago, this is where the foundations of the Kanebridge Group were first developed. Returning to the area is a warm opportunity to reconnect with the enduring relationships, trusted conversations and community that have been part of the Kanebridge story since 1999.”
Membership will be offered as a dedicated tier, the Citizen Kanebridge Norwest Individual Membership, including monthly dining credits at Momento Hospitality venues and access to the Sonato global reciprocal club network, spanning more than 250 private clubs worldwide. Members will also receive digital subscriptions to Kanebridge Quarterly, Robb Report Australia & New Zealand, and The Wall Street Journal.
Further details on the launch event calendar, membership applications and transition arrangements will be announced soon.
