“This beachfront location is a real draw, putting you directly opposite the sand and within a stroll of Hervey Bay's cafes. I think families will find the focus on leisure, from the outdoor pool to the Fraser Island tour desk, particularly convenient. The smart TVs with streaming in every room are a nice modern touch, especially after a day of exploring.”
