Hervey Bay Resort
While I found the room ok and the staff very helpful and friendly I had a problem with the shower over a plunge bath. I have osteo in one leg and was afraid of falling without a non slip mat or a railing to hold onto. Thank you

Beachside Motor Inn
Neat and tidy apartment for my family of 5 for a quick overnight stop. The apartment was modern and looked to have been recently upgraded. Would definitely stay here again.

We didn’t have enough forks for 3 people.. Bathmat wasn’t replaced after they took it.. Not a fan of washing our plates and things in the bathroom.. would have loved a sink in the kitchen…compared to other places around and what you get we think this was high priced… But the place was clean and tidy ...
