The price we had to pay suits the room. It is a bit run down, to be honest. But it is clean.

The weather was poor, so we did not see any whales.

The Boat Harbour Resort is great vaue for money, it has a swimming pool, good accomodation, prompt service and perfect location, as it is not too close to the centre and hence quiet and peaceful, on the other hand close to supermarket and ammenities.
Hervey Bay itself is not too exciting, it is a bit tacky and does not have a huge array of shops/restaurants. It could have a much better infrastructure, considering the amount of tourist who go to Fraser Island. The beach is however great, as it is sheltered and perfect for kids.

On arrival, they had no record of our booking (not a good start). To top that off, we arrived at about 2:30pm (even though check in was from 12:30pm) only to be told that the previous people had only left 1/2 hour earlier than our arrival and the room still needed to be cleaned. We were asked to come back an hour later to enable them time to clean. This did not go down too well as we have 2 young children who needed a sleep. After the 1 hour was up, we returned and the cleaning had not yet been finished and the floors were still wet which meant we had to wait even longer to gain access to the unit.
However, once we were finally allowed into the room and get settled, it didn't take long to unpack, sit down and enjoy the water views (even if blocked a bit by the cafe in front of the complex.
Hervey Bay was a great place to stay with young children as there was no ocean beaches to worry about. The water on the bay was calm and great for them to play in.
The bike/walking track around the bay is fantastic with plenty of picnic tables, chairs to sit on and appreciate the view and toilet blocks along the way.
Plenty of good places to eat along the Esplanade.

This was exceptional value for money and Rob was wonderful - nothing was too much trouble and he never looked tired of all the questions. Without his guidance we probably wouldn't have got the most of the 2 nights we had in Hervey Bay. The facilities were immaculate. If we came back through Hervey Bay we wouldn't stay anywhere else. Thoroughly recommend.
Great breakfast cafe on the water side of The Esplanade (only one of that side I think). Had a lovely dinner at the Black Dog cafe but not such a good one at the Aegean waterfront French restaurant. Would recommend bike hire for getting around. Unfortunately the seafood restaurant at Point Vernon was booked out for a wedding but it looked wonderful and so did the menu! We will catch this one next time.
