Spotlessly clean and well equipped in a great location.
Great position and extremely clean accommodation. Host was very friendly, hospitable and was available if we ever needed anything - we didn’t because it was already so well equipped. A very enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in the self-contained cottage and were thoroughly impressed. It's not often you get accommodation that is not only comfortable but has everything you could possibly need. Great location and perfect for us whilst travelling for work. Would definitely stay again whether for work or pleasure :)

Everything you need
We stayed 3 nights as a mini getaway from our busy work and to celebrate our son’s 1st Bday. The cottage was absolutely what we needed. Sarah was so friendly and got back to us so promptly. Owners put some extra cute things (bday message on the fridge door, Sand toy for Baby and the chocolates). So thoughtful! It was very quite and tranquil. Loved how there was everything in the cottage (repellent, sunscreen, Clothes detergent, toys for kids and games for adults, etc.) We would stay here next time we visit Hervey Bay :)

Relaxing place to stay
Beautiful area, right across the beach. Nice calm water, peaceful surroundings. Close to grocery stores, eateries, botanic garden, pier and markets on Wednesday & Saturday. The cottage had everything that we needed & was very clean, comfortable and tidy. Sarah is very friendly and helpful. We would love to come here again!

Outstanding cottage
We absolutely loved the cottage! It exceeded our expectation. It was all the extras that made it that bit more special- chocolate/ water on arrival, kids toys, children's books (which our son loved), cereal, biscuits and olive oil/salt/pepper etc. Our host was amazing too - welcoming, helpful and she'd thought of everything! Such a great, quiet location! Many thanks for a comfy and cosy home away from home.

Heaven is this cottage, it was just amazing. Everything was just perfect. Sarah should be very proud of her self, her attention to detail made our stay a wonderful one. The added little things Sarah did to make sure our holiday was one we will never forget. Thank you very much Sarah, Kathy and Ann.

Nice place, wonderful owners
The cottages are lovely and directly across from the beach, though there is no view of the ocean. Not sure about the places in the central building which didn’t seem as nice as the cottages. The owners were very helpful and quite gracious.

Stayed for 10 nights, great service and very clean unit. Kitchen and bathroom are very well stocked. Units are recommended for a long stay. No clothes drier and outdoor line gets wet so planning is required if you need to wash.
