The apartment we had at the Akama resort was very bright and spacious and the kitchen well equipped. We had distant water views across the treetops to Frazer Island from our bedroom, sitting room and balcony. Breakfast on the balcony is a great way to start the day. It is a short walk to the marina and restaurants. My bed... More

What a way to wake up with views of Fraser Island. Great spot to sit back and relax with the great view. The kitchen and apartment is well equipped. The pool even had some kids toys for them to play and it was heated which was great as being the only place we stayed that we could have a good... More

Our first impressions of Akama resort are very similar to that expressed by Margie K in her review. Ease of checking in (we had pre booked) and the beautiful open space feeling of the unit particularly with the folding doors to the balcony being wide open. The unit and its contents were scrupulously clean, the one thing we check at... More

Our recent long weekend at Akama was a delight. We were warmly welcomed by Regina at Reception who gave us a local map and great suggestions about places to experience in the area.

We stayed in an apartment in whale watching season in 2012. From the moment we opened the door we felt comfortable and rested. Very clean, fresh, stylish room. Apartments are really close to the departure point for the whale watching boats. Quite a long walk into the town/shops but we had two small children so probably longer because of them.... More

It was our first trip to Hervey Bay, after much research on hotels we chose the Akama. I am glad to say we made the right choice, the rooms are massive and plenty of room for entertaining, the large balconies were great. Location is good, a short drive to the esplanade and a even shorter walk to the boat club.... More
