Not quite true, the land was first; my wife and I bought the land after deciding to move to Hervey Bay from Canberra where we have lived for more than half a century. Not that we don't love Canberra but the long cold winters don't agree with old bones - in fact Canberra is a greatly underrated TREASURE to live... More

We stayed one night on our way out to the reef and thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful lakeside retreat. As others have said, Sharon was friendly, flexible and accommodating. We decided to stay in and order takeaway from a local restaurant - very easy thanks to the detailed information provided. We also thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast overlooking the lake.

Sharon was in attendance when we arrived and treated us to tea and cake. She explained that we would be unattended overnight (albeit with ample contact information) and that we should help ourselves to toast and the pre prepared breakfast items in the fridge. Loads of it. free chocolate too. We stayed one night, went overnight to Fraser Island and... More

A real treat to stay here, only a short walk down to the beach, friendly owner, lovely breakfast food and cakes, great fun to feed the turtles at lakeside. Limited items for self-catering - dont expect many guests do cook in, but one night we wanted to.

Lakeside was a delightful place to stay. Clean, comfortable and well maintained and for the first night I was the only person there,before my friends arrived so very peaceful. It was lovely to get up in the morning and see the turtles and a beautiful breakfas was provided which I had outside, overlooking the lake. There was ample information provided... More

We booked this B & B for 4 days as part of our trip to the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Fraser Coast. We loved the Lakeview suite with beautiful views on the lake. Having a luxurious breakfast and enjoying at the same time the swans, turtles and ducks was really wonderful. Sharon is a great host and the suite... More

The moment you walk into this lovely place you feel like you've been invited to a lovely friend's house. We stayed two nights in one of the upstairs rooms (sunrise suite) and absolutely loved everything about it. The tranquility, cleanliness and hospitality of the host was one of a kind. We did a one day tour to Fraser island with... More

Booked this b&b because of reviews on trip advisor. Okay is the best description, It was very clean,well equipped but did not feel welcome. Host likes laminated signs telling what to do (take your shoes off, don't get make up or was it tan on towels) to mention 2 that come to mind. I do realise that this is to... More

This place is absolutely amazing. We stayed in the Lakeview Suite, it was just stunning and definitively the best price/quality we encountered during our one month trip in Australia. We had all the facilities we needed and everything was in perfect shape. Breakfast is correct, nothing fancy, just good. We did not meet the host as she was away, so... More
