Really well equipped apartment. We looked at hostels and came across this places, as the hostels aren’t great in Hervey Bay. This place was a hidden gem, got a nice balcony, could catch up on washing and was a nice treat to watch some Netflix in bed. They also allowed storage for our bags when we went to K’gari island for two days. Highly recommend this place.

What a gorgeous, comfortable room I stayed in! The bed was so comfortable, you could smell the clean sheets the moment I walked in the room. The armchairs were the most comfortable recliners and the TV was huge!!! The stovetop and full kitchen facilities were perfect. Will definitely stay here again. Thank you! The water view was a nice bonus.

We liked that the property was ground level, it was dog friendly, which we were looking for. close to the walking path and view of the water. It had a private & quite feel. It suited our needs, which is what I look for when booking. The only thing missing was a Tea towel.

General condition of site was good, and the theme fitted well with the environment. The only disappointing things were one lady that didn't shut up talking outside half the night and young people at the bottom of the stairs smoking their hoochiewanna.

Comfortable bed. Old complex that they have endeavoured to present reasonably well but dirty door mats inside and out and unswept outside deck and nails banged into the kitchen cupboard door to hang tea towels when a nice white hook would look better, chipped crockery, let it down. Couldn’t leave any food on the kitchen bench as ants found it straight away. Good location.

There is no available wifi and you have to go onto your balcony to get any decent reception on your own device. I'm sure it's fine for a holiday but if you're travelling for business, steer clear
