According to the group, the new accommodation is “thoughtfully designed with coastal elegance,” and aims to attract a new calibre of visitors to the region.Confirming discussions are underway with several global brands around strategic partnerships to strengthen the project’s international appeal, Director Rob Comiskey described the project as a “natural evolution” for the popular destination.“My family and I have owned the land since 2011, and from day one, we saw it as a truly special part of Moreton Bay — perfectly positioned opposite Bribie Island,” he said. “Over time, demand has only grown. To meet that and take the experience to the next level, we’re expanding and elevating our offering by delivering the first five-star accommodation in Moreton Bay.”
