A modern apartment in a 2-storey motel style building. Well appointed, close to excellent beach (no stingers, no sharks, no big waves, and no need for life guards), good reception staff, but if you have no car it is about 20 minutes to walk to food shops. Lots of tours to Fraser Island available: choose a small group in a 4WD.
Room Tip: Rooms on the north side seem to be better than south side, having large private baclconies.

Thank you for your comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay in Hervey Bay. We do have great beaches and it is good that we don’t have to worry about stingers in this area of Queensland. We do have a corner shop which is less than 5 mins walk from Arlia Sands which does stock all the basic necessities. We also have 4 restaurants within a 3 - 5 min walk which serve spectacular meals. The longer 10 – 15 min walk takes you into the Torquay business district where there are numerous shops, cafes, restaurants etc as well. The bus service along the Esplanade is also handy to make your way around during the day and it operates 6 ½ days per week. We hope to see you in Hervey Bay again.
Regards Tony & Cheryl
