The only downside of this place is its distance from the shops/beach. The managers are lovely, the rooms are all new and have everything you need. The pool is great, and BBQs make a cheap alternative to eating out. More

Thanks very much "2bundles" for your comments and we appreciate your "value for money" rating. Yes, we are a little further from the shops and restaurants than some other resorts in Bargara, however we are in reality the closest resort to a patrolled surf beach area - just a 400m stroll to Nielson Park beach, the home of Bundaberg Surf...

We stayed at the Bargara Dream Townhouse (next door to the resort apartments) and were very happy with our stay. Allan & Chris were very friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. We had Townhouse no. 1 at the front, which had 2 courtyards and plenty of room for visitors, cars and beach... More

Thank you Tracy, Tim & Nate for your favourable comments about the BARGARA DREAM TOWNHOUSE. We think the Townhouses are exceptionally good value, but it's the guests opinions that count and we are pleased that you found that to be the case. As you say, plenty of space and cooling flow-through sea breezes. We could see that Nate really enjoyed... More

This place exceeded expectations. Thought we we getting somewhere to sleep but it was a place to relax as well. Every thing works and if there is a question it will be answered easily.

Thank you Don for your positive feedback. We enjoyed our daily chat as you and your daughter passed through the foyer on the way to the beach. As you found, Nielson Park beach is only a 3 minute walk and is a lovely area - surrounded by parklands, sheltered and usually not crowded. A great family beach. So glad you... More

These apartments are clean and very well maintained. While not on the beachfront they are only a stones throw from it and only about 10 minutes from Bundaberg. I spent xmas 2011 here and had a really lovely time. Everything is within walking/biking distance. The staff are lovely and couldn't be more helpful. All units have 2 bedrooms are self... More

The Bargara Dream Townhouses that we manage, next door, provide us with a more spacious 3 bedroom/2 bathroom option for larger groups/families such as yours and it is good to hear that the Townhouse "ticked all your boxes".

Stayed here for 2 nights on a family trip, and was very pleased with the experience. The management/owners were very nice. The apartment was spotlessly clean; the rooms, bathroom and kitchen well furnished and comfortable and in good repair. The pool was also well kept, and also the beach is not even 5 minutes walk. The apartment was air-conditioned and... More
