“Good beach, ideal base for Fraser Island tours”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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

“Great Location,great stay and friendly people”

We have recently stayed at Arlia Sands. Amenities were immaculate, the people at office were full of fantastic local knowledge and advice on tours and things to do. Very quiet location yet only small walk to awesome beach! Fantastic value for money and would highly recommend. Quite a refreshing change to be surprised rather than dissapointed.

“Very comfortable, beautifully presented, good value!”

This place was such a pleasant surprise- they earned every one of their 4 stars, and probably deserve a few more!

“Good value for money, bad bed.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

For the price of the two bed premium apartment this is great value. The apartments have been renovated nicely. We stayed only one night and the apartment had everything we needed. It was a good size too which is important when you have a family. Unfortunately the master bed let the apartment down. It was low to the ground and lumpy.

This was great for a stop over but the bed would have had me moving out if we were to stay any longer.

“Great Location and Value for Money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

Recently we were lucky enough to spend a few days relaxing at Hervey Bay. It had been years since our last visit and we were not disappointed on our return. Arlia Sands had everything a family could want. The premium self contained family 2 bedroom unit had everything that we needed. We especially liked the reverse cycle air conditioning and fans in the bedrooms. Not to mention the undercover parking, pool area and bbq facilities. Oops forgot to mention the abundant supply of hot water ! Even though Arlia Sands is located off the main esplanade we enjoyed the short walk to the beach and local shops. Thank you to the management staff for making our stay memorable.

Room Tip: The bath in the premium 2 bedroom unit is worth the extra money

Dear cnhart,

Thank you for your great review. We were very happy to have you stay with us again. The Premium apartments are definately good value as you said.

We love being just off the Esplanade as there is less traffic noise and still only a minute's walk to beautiful Shelly Beach.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Arlia Sands.
