Problem is, we do not know where you are from, so, how else can we know where is closer to your home?
Nevertheless, there is one at Bintan. It is an adventure camp which has stilted houses on water. It's called the Loola adventure camp. Pretty cheap to stay.
There is one on one of the Malaysian island as well. But I kept the brochure in the office. Think it's called something redang? Hope someone else can help.
Have fun!

A lot of destinations have the villas in the water now.
All over the pacific islands - tahiti, bora bora, fiji,moorea, cook islands...
This is a nice website for some ideas:

i'm not sure though that it is so much cheaper, although they sometimes have "honeymoon deals" to tahiti with flights from new york or l.a.
edit: never mind - from Sydney you're so close to Fiji and other islands!!!
you should definitely find something nice! Good luck!

But the Maldives are soooo beautiful, too!

you may go to Vanuatu which is closer to Australia or to Mauritious! they too have beautiful water bunglows and ceychelles in the south indian ocean also an another option! however if you wish to go in the caribbean.. Bermuda, Bahamas,Turks and caicos Cayman Islands are prime locations for your choice!

we have that here in the philippines, particularly in palawan. you check this site www.palawan.com. i would recommend resorts in el nido and busuanga palawan because they have cottages in the water. amanpulo is very nice but it is very expensive. good luck!
