Cyclone Yasi Spares Daydream Island Resort

Daydream Island Resort and Spa has been spared the worst from Cyclone Yasi, with only minor vegetation damage reported around the Whitsunday island.

Resort Manager Greg Betty said preliminary inspections show only a debris and vegetation clean up is needed.

“We have come through the strong winds very well and the cleanup has already begun,” Mr Betty said. “It is anticipated we will get operations back to normal within 24-48 hours and we are looking forward to our guests returning. We are extremely grateful that Daydream has been relatively unscathed by the storm and it’s good news for the Whitsundays ... Our thoughts though are with those communities such as Tully and Mission Beach which bore the brunt of the Category 5 cyclone.”

All guests were evacuated from Daydream on Tuesday morning as part of the island’s cyclone contingency plans. Around 20 staff remained on Daydream in a cyclone-proof facility.

All ferry services and flight connection services with Cruise Whitsundays are anticipated to be operating from Friday, 4 February and the Daydream reservations team are open to take bookings. They can be contacted on 1800 075 040.
