My three friends and I booked a 2-bedroom apartment for the weekend, and it totally exceeded our expectations. We were amazed by how spacious it was. The apartment was so nice and clean. The resort also had a great pool, jacuzzi and bbq-area downstairs. Regina in the reception was really helpful with both booking the apartment and the tours for...

My wife, two kids and I visited Akama Resort for two nights in 2011. We were blown away with the size of the apartment. Each apartment is like a penthouse. It was perfect base for our family. I would highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a modern, large apartment in a great location for a single night...

Hi NathanJSpicer,
Thank you for your review.
One of the biggest surprises guests seem to get when they open the door is the size of our apartments, gone are the days of staying in a small cramped unit. For a little extra $$$ you get a whole lot more.
Hope to see you and the family again one day.
Kind...

My partner & I wanted somewhere to relax and enjoy a quiet Xmas & New year whilst visiting my immediate family who all live in Hervey Bay. We stayed in a 2brm ocean view apartment on the 4th floor from Xmas eve 2011 until 2nd Jan 2012 ... we didn't want to leave!
We loved the layout of the apartment...

Hi Trish J,
Thank you very much for your kind words. We remember when you and your mum came in and had a nice chat. We think most guests are surprised by the size and cleanliness of our apartments and this is what keeps them coming back. We like to class ourselves as a small Boutique resort and even when...

We had six adults plus a baby in one of the 3 bedroom apartments for a week including Christmas. We had a fantastic week. The apartments are well equipped, very large and very clean. The balconies are huge and have a bbq. The coffee machine was great for everyone except the 2 of us who needed decaf pods. Owners pls...

My family 4 adults and 2 grand children spent 5 days here and were very happy, clean rooms,
with the rooms being nice and quiet.
Well stocked kitchen and our babies loved being so close to the pool we had no problems with privacy.

Hi Pamela j,Thank you for your review. Cleanliness and customer service is at the top of our list and it’s really appreciated when lovely guests like you take note. We like people to feel like Akama is their home away from home and a well stocked kitchen for those budding Masterchefs for some is a priority. Thanks for coming to...

My family stayed there in January 2012 as well as my sister and her husband and we all thought Akama Resort was fantastic. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartments. The apartments were not only huge with a large balcony to sit outside and eat, but were absolutely spotless. The pool was great, there was a secure undercover parking and...

Hi Amanda.s,
You were the most wonderful people and it was a complete pleasure to have you stay with us. We just love seeing the resort filled with holiday makers enjoying family time. You sure got to see the very best of Hervey Bay and all its natural attractions, the only thing missing was the whales. Hope the remainder of...

It's pretty good. However, to even think that there are 25 good hotels in Australia is absurd. Australia is lacking in service. Compare any of the chain hotels (Shangri La, for example) in Sydney to its equivalent in any souetheast Asian country and it becomes obvious why Australian hotels are always going to be 2d rate. The "casual" service is...

We stayed for 4 nights in a poolside apartment that featured a large balcony and direct access to the pool. I believe these are sought after rooms, but I felt I didn't have much privacy. Upon seeing the apartment we immediately asked if we could switch to one with a bit more privacy but were told no, which was a...

Hi Ally 1066,
Thanks for your review it’s much appreciated. You chose to book a 1 bedroom apartment through a third party at a reduced rate, but being Christmas and having one available we gave you a free upgrade to a poolside apartment ,which as you mentioned are very sought after as it has direct access to the pool area...

Hi Travellinck,
Thank you for the lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure having you stay with us. Your obvious enjoyment while you were with us made our job even more of a pleasure. Yes, it is a good idea to stock up and prepare your own meals if you want as the kitchens are very well appointed with all...
