Cashless Payments and Debit and Credit Card Surcharge

Hamilton Island is a cashless environment, and we are unable to accept cash at any of our outlets. Cash deposits and withdrawals can be made using the Bank@Post service at the Australia Post office on Front Street, where cash can also be exchanged for pre-paid or top-up Mastercards. A 1.25% surcharge applies for all ‘credit’ and ‘tap and go’ transactions made on the island via credit or debit card. Payments can be made fee free via EFTPOS, using a cheque and/or savings account at the terminal.

The fee is applicable to all people on the island, including staff, that choose to use a credit or debit card with the exception of the following (the POS outlets will remain exempt):

  • Rainforest Bar
  • Rainforest Cafe
