Hervey Bay Hotel & Resort is a decent budget option.

The whole place looks a bit dated, especially the rooms. Our room was big and clean, but the carpet was pretty much worn out and the room looked tired.

Our room had a fridge, tea & coffee making facilities, iron, TV, airconditioning and a ceiling fan. It also had a balcony with a nice view over the ocean (although upon arriving we were charged extra for the balcony even though we had booked it). There is also a pool.

There is a busy road right in front of the resort, which can be noisy both during the day and in the early evening. Also, although the place has a pub attached (with a restaurant) you really need to drive to the other local restaurants, unless you enjoy long walks.

There's a caravan park accross the road from the hotel, so don't expect uninterrupted views of the ocean. However if you're on the first floor, you'll get a pretty good view of the sea.

All up, Hervey... more
