Just want to say that my daughter and me had a fantastic stay at The Shelly Bay Resort! Great big appartement, and incredibly helpful managers! They really went out of their way to make our stay a success, and organized trips to Fraser Island, the reef, etc.

Shelly Bay resort is our getaway home when we are in Hervey Bay. The rooms are adequate and clean and are value for money. The location of the resort is close for where we wish to go and within walking distance. The staff are more than helpful on any queries you might request

Room tip: The top floor is the best

This is our third visit to Shelly Bay Resort and each time has been fantastic. This time we stayed in room 23 on the top floor. Every room in the resort looks directly onto the beach. There are trees, but you can see the water between them. Our one bedroom apartment had a good sized bathroom and full sized kitchen with adequate cooking equipment. The lounge and bedroom were comfortable and nicely directed with modern decor. There is a tennis court and pool plus you can hire bikes, kayaks and paddle boards. WiFi is free but has a daily limit after which you have to pay. Parking is plentiful. The position is great, right next door to some really good restaurants plus the beach across the road is one of the better ones for swimming. The management were very friendly and chose a top floor room with a view for us without me having to ask. I would highly recommend this resort, it is much cheaper than the big name resort next door but with all the space and amenities of an apartment.

Room tip: Second and third floor rooms have the best views. See my photo for the third floor view.

Hi Jools315, it is always a pleasure to welcome you back. We love our location too, beautiful nature strip and bikepath - perfect for a morning walk or jog; the best swimming beach in the Bay - easy kayaking onto the calm waters; and to keep the energy up delicious treats at the nearby cafes and restaurants. Thanks again for taking the time to post a review.

Located right on the bay in a very quiet area. Very good value for money. Staff very friendly, knowledgable and nothing was too much trouble. May need a little bit of modernising but that's just nit picking.

We stayed here for one night whilst visiting family and would definitely come stay here again for a longer break.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was beautifully appointed - large kitchen, full size fridge, fully equipped with crockery and cooking utensils. A lounge area has 2 sofas and TV. The balcony overlooks the pool and has a view of the sea through the trees (you can hear the waves!). The bathroom has a shower (no bath) and a full laundry as well. The bedroom has a good size comfortable bed with plenty of storage if you were staying a bit longer. There is free WiFi with a daily limit (use internet explorer to activate/enter the password).

The owners were lovely and as we were running late (due to traffic on the highway), they text instructions on where to pick keys up after hours. There appears to be a restaurant within the ground floor however this was closed the Sunday morning.

There are a few cafes nearby for coffee and plenty of places to eat along the Esplanade. Hervey Bay is a reasonable sized city so there are supermarkets to stock up on groceries if your stay is longer.

Our only reservation would be the noise. It was very quiet when we checked in/out but it was a weekend and off season. How much noise would transfer between rooms in a busy period I don't know. The bedroom is at the back and the window opens to the walkway through the building.
