There are two houses for management and staff as well as cabins and hire boats for visitors, two airstrips and a hanger. It has a bar, an open dining area, and miles of beaches to relax on. Temperature also rarely drops below 24C, even in the winter and can get as high as 35C in December. The island however is completely off-grid and runs on solar and gas-powered services. Trash facilities are taken care of by a barge that visits regularly and also provides the island with goods from the mainland. Estate agent Richard Vanhoff from Private Island Online said the best thing about the island was the size of the fish out in the reef. He said: "They've got some of the biggest coral trout in Australia, which I think is the trophy fish for most fisherman - the ones they are catching up there are just huge." However, there is a warning to new owners as sharks have been spotted in the waters around the island and even a crocodile. But the sharks are thought to be well fed by the abundance of fish near the remote spot. The 30-hectare has been for sale since May last year and has now been reduced in price after owners Tex and Lyn Battle decided to sell up. The property works well as a business for five months of the year - bringing in enough revenue to make up for the quieter winter months. The owners of the resort wi){kind=link}
