Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Easy living is the best way to describe our stay at the Shelley Beach Motel. We booked multiple rooms over two weeks with extended family members staying over that time. It was perfect in every respect. Very comfortable beds and clean rooms, with all the essentials in the kitchenette, and a barbeque area designed for relaxed entertaining. The grassy lawn at the front was perfect for hosting kids, adults and pets for nibbles and drinks every afternoon. One of the best swimming beaches in Hervey Bay is across the road and the added bonus of the motel being pet-friendly, were two big ticks for us. Last, but definitely not least, our hosts, Rebecca and Robert were the perfect degree of friendly and attentive. We had the best beach holiday in years and will definitely be back. Our only dilemma...do we keep this perfect holiday destination a secret or tell all our friends?

Room Tip: Rooms on the ground floor, with access to the fenced front lawn, are better for children and pets .

Travelling with my husband we were surprised at the cleanliness position and size of the room, positioned on the esplanade 10 mins slow stroll to the pub and pier along the bay. The owners very helpful and nice bespoke touches in keeping with the 70s style motel rooms . Even a view of the water from the balcony of the upstairs rooms.

Way better than a standard hotel room. Full size fridge, large bench suitable for use as a desk, or dining, full kitchenette with crockery, cutlery, frypan, microwave etc. 2 lounge chairs with coffee table.
Located right across the road from the beach and beautiful parkland walk along the esplanade. Hosts were wonderful and very friendly. Good undercover parking, BBQ area. Very impressed and would happily stay here again.

We stayed here for one night before heading to Fraser Island. Room 14 was large and easily accommodated the five of us. A full size fridge/freezer was really handy, as was the kitchenette which had plenty of cutlery and crockery. The bathroom was new and clean. The resident cat was lovely, as were the staff. There was a nice BBQ area and plenty of garden spaces and parking. Perfect.

This was a great motel - really happy we stumbled across it.

Literally 30 seconds across the road from the beach, lovely balcony, loads of space for parking, a garden area, friendly reception and a guest laundry to use on a pay per wash basis.

Room itself was spacious and clean, with the best provisioned kitchenette of our enture time along the coast, separate sitting area and tv. Good shower too.

We liked it so much we extended...and would have extended even further if they'd not been full!

Lovely pet friendly motel rooms very clean, management always helpful and friendly. Ground floor unit which opened to an enclosed area where I could sit and watch my three dogs explore. Situated across the road from a beautiful beach. I would definitely visit again with or without the dogs

We needed accommodation in Hervey Bay prior to travelling to Fraser Island. The Shelly Beach Motel was ideal. The managers were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable - and very affordable. Thank you for a great stay.

Bec, Rob and their kids are a lovely, hard working young family. The place is spotless, right across the beach and super dog friendly. Lots of food places nearby. Air con was super quiet. Lovely fenced off grass area in the front garden with ocean views. Highly recommended.
