We stayed at Ramada Hervey Bay as we wanted to be close to the Marina for a whale watch trip. The location was excellent with less than five minutes walk to the Marina. Front desk staff offered assistance in selecting a whale watch trip. Our suite was generous in size with a most comfortable bed. After a brief hiccup, free wifi was available in our room. We were impressed with the breakfast selections and enjoyed the happy hour refreshments in the bar. It was most pleasing on our second day to have a staff member recall a previous conversation. Obviously a genuine interest was taken. Little things that make a difference. Well done staff at Ramada Hervey Bay

Oceans offered some very nice touches. There the rooms were big and the outlook was stunning (we were on the 4th floor with a view over the pier to Fraser Island). There was a pod coffee machine and really nice toiletries. The Japanese style sliding doors to the master bedroom were nice. However there were a number of downsides. The rooms and resort feel dated (this is been addressed through a repaint and refit). The room design feels a lot more cramped than the footprint should allow. This was exacerbated by a long-dark corridor from the front door to the living area. The second bedroom was near the front door, had very limited natural light and was isolated from the rest of the unit. It would not be suitable for young children. The room was sparse, lacking the little touches that such a resort should have. The coffee pod machine was only stocked with 4 pods for four guests for three days (and the room was not serviced). As a result, a 'feature' became a frustration. The room and service were nice, but they were not exceptional. The price was on the high side for what was offered and not competitive with other regions in Southern Qld or Northern NSW. Oceans could be an exceptional resort... But they have some work to do to improve their offering or adjust their price. Hervey Bay remains the best place to see whales and is a great place to escape. Don't be put off, but shop around for your accommodation.

*After a mix up with being given the wrong room the staff were very quick to arrange for us to be transferred to the correct room. *Room was well appointed but starting to show wear and tear. *Bed quite hard but we didn’t mind that. *Bathroom around the shower needed a good scrub with quite a bit of mould stain around the door frame. *Staff were very friendly and accommodating. *Excellent location opposite the beach and with great cafes around.

This was my first time in Hervey Bay, I was there for a funeral and knowing this, Michelle who served me was an Angel. She took initiative to know what would make things as easy as possible for me without me even asking. Went out of her way to ensure I was taken care of. I was overwhelmed with Gratitude. From the beginning right to printing my boarding pass at the end, this was a magic experience. The Motel was right across the road from the beach, so I enjoyed the sounds of the waves and a safe night walk. I had the best sleep in the loveliest room with everything in it that one needs to have on holidays. Thank you Coconut Palms...

We noted mixed reviews for Shelly Bay Resort across different booking sites, so we were unsure what to expect. What a wonderful stay! Shelly Bay Resort thoroughly exceeded our expectations- notably, Andrew (Manager) phoning ahead and offering us an early check-in, warmly welcoming us on arrival, and offering a late check-out at no additional cost. Even though we had been to Hervey Bay before, Andrew made a point of making sure we knew where to go for local eats and treats. Santini pizzas and gelato are wonderful- a must for any visitor to Hervey Bay. The room was exceptionally clean and spacious. Every need met. Excellent value for money. Great location. The Resort was full due to a triathalon event however it was lovely and quiet. Loved the balcony and sunset/sunrise views. We wished we could have stayed for a week and will certainly visit again. Highly recommend Shelly Bay Resort. Well done to the Management team.

This was our second stay at the Beach Motel in Hervey Bay. We were warmly welcomed back by very professional and courteous staff. Both check-in and check-out were smooth and very fast. We were able to stay in the same room we had been in last year. The room was just as lovely, the aircon nice and cold, and although we only stayed one night, my son had a relaxing early-morning swim before we checked out. The location is excellent, with loads of facilities, shops, attractions, (beach, parks, etc.) and places to eat nearby. When we return to Hervey Bay for another overnight stay, we wouldn't hesitate to book with The Beach Motel again. Thank you!

we were so unlucky that we went there when the big flood hit the whole qld. we end up staying for two more nights because the road is all flooded. john, the manager of best western plus is such a gentlemen. i really thank his kindess,help and support. if i am coming back to hevery bay for holiday, i know i don't have to do my research anymore. this is the one if anyone having holiday at hervey bay!!!

we flew all the way to Hervey Bay with a bub for 7 nights but were put on ground floor with no views. We would have been happy if we could at least have had a room with some views for a couple of days given bub sleeps 4 hours during the day and over 12 hours overnight, and we were apartment bound for 16 hours a day! The layout of the room is good. Location is good, its adjacent to Coast, one of the best restaurants in Hervey Bay. Kitchen was also equipped with the essentials. But the carpet was dirty. I got some flea bites on my legs. There is an outdoor area (with walls high up so you can't see anything from outside at all) but it was full of dried leaves, tree branches, etc. It would have been appreciated if we were told that for the price we paid, we were not going to get a room with view at time of booking.

When I ask for sea views I always ask more questions as I dont call a glimpse of the sea "sea views". Given the room rate was very cheap compared to others we have stayed at we were expecting a pretty average room. We were absolutely blown away with the quality and size of the apartment and have no hesitation in reccomending this complex to others who want a ten star room at a very affordable price. The complex is across the road from the famous pier that extends 1km out into the sea. It was a great and relaxing stroll.

while this would be an excellent location for an overnight stay, you would be cheating yourself out of the best experience you will remember if you like peace and quiet from humans. feeding the birds and turtles from your front verandah, or just sitting looking at the lake and only hearing the occasional aircraft pass overhead, really does take some beating. we had booked for 5 days but stayed an extra day and this was the most relaxing holiday we had ever experienced.

Very clean, people are nice , breakfast is vary... I never saw such a good backpacker hotel like that! The manager Peter is a funny guy, haha... They have different activities everyday. The date I was join is Tuesday, so it’s “Cheese and Wine” day. However I can’t drink wine, Peter was very considerate and provide me some apple juice instead. Thank you guys, I really enjoy my stay here. Don’t miss this wonderful hotel in Hervey Bay!

Although it's a little off the beaten path, the Emeraldene Inn & Eco-Lodge, true to its name, is a jewel of a property. Enveloped in lush tropical foliage -- home to a number of exotic birds including chatty parrots -- the motel is an oasis in the midst of a major business district. Given the peaceful surroundings, you would not know that a major highway and hospital run alongside its perimeter. The rooms are clean and quiet, night or day, and comfortable without being fussy. We appreciated the complimentary coffee, tea and milk, as well as having access to a microwave and mini-fridge. Although the lodge is not within walking distance of *downtown* Hervey Bay, it has made arrangements with a number of local businesses to offer free transportation to its guests. This is a savings of some $30 per one-way trip. We chose the Emeraldene as a stopping point before a week-long excursion to Lady Elliot Island Eco-Resort and it's a great option for those making that same journey. In defense of its location, Hervey Bay doesn't have a central shopping or recreational district. It is actually six small cities strung out along a 12-mile bay front. The best meal we had was at the Hervey Bay Beach House with its water view and scrumptious seafood. It is one of several restaurants that offers a free ride to and from the Emeraldene. But what makes the motor inn truly special is its hospitality, courtesy of Lina Kasjan, who goes above and beyond to make her local and foreign visitors feel at home. As for the rooms themselves, in addition to clean, crisp sheets and the aforementioned amenities, they are decorated with some of the outstanding Great Barrier Reef photos taken by the lodge's owner, Rob Lennon. His masterful images got us psyched up for our own reef experience on Lady Elliot.

These people could not do enough for you. Loved all the special little touches in and outside the rooms. Surroundings are spectacular. Rooms clean and comfortable. Staff amazing and so very helpful. Would definitely stay again. Have already recommended to friends. Our favourite place in Hervey Bay. Thank you everyone for an outstanding stay at your village. Make sure you have a pizza while there. Yummy.
