We spent a few days here after Christmas and had a "whale" of a time (Hervey Bay is best known for its whale watching and access to beautiful Fraser Island).

The motel is an older style unit, which was very comfortable, semi selfcontained (everything but a cooktop!), full size fridge, elec frypan, crockery etc as well as use of a great barbeque, guest laundry and sporting/fishing gear, books, games etc while resident.

Owners are just great - two sisters, who make your stay very relaxing. No pool, but no need as the beautiful Shelly Beach is directly across the road... clean sand, crystal clear water and not much surf - so a boon for those of us not into surfing!

Shelly Beach is the quieter end of Hervey Bay - and it has some great fish and chip shops nearby as well as a Boat Club for club dining etc.

Highly recommended - and a snip at $86 Aus a night during peak holiday periods - well recommended. more
