What people say
It was the most romantic experience of my life, we sat on that gorgeous island, with the water lapping at our feet as we sipped wine and he proposed. The ibis in the tree above us, , the shopping trolley lodged in the mud nearby… the rats scurrying by on the other side of the river…. And the sound of traffic and car horns omg😍Truly amazing. Fatima island is highly recommended definitely will be back
I actually saw Ima last time I stayed in an AirBnB here. Yes she's left herself go but she's still great company.
Excellent views of the cooks river and princes highway, perfect for a weekend gateway with bae

Lots to do on this island, but my favourite activity was the snorkelling! Only downside is that my doctor told me I now have 6 months to live
