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.
Urangan is such a quiet, interesting spot with the long pier offering endless opportunities for walks and photography. Santalina is just on the edge of the small shops (excellent bakery, fish and chip shop etc) and a much cheaper option than the big Oakes hotel. Attentive reception who arranged a Fraser Island tour (long day though). Can't wait to return

Room Tip:I stayed in a non-ocean view room and it was fine, not second class

Just a few short days at Santalina .... too short. Beautiful decor with large, roomy and light-filled spaces. Pristine cleanliness. Filled with thoughtful character not seen too much these days. The generous balcony always seemed to carry the perfect breeze or shade and overlooked the water and the famous pier. In-ground pool perfect with lots of lazing-around comfortable seating. And such lovely and sincerely friendly staff. Particularly our hostess and Manager, Ari. She will go more than the extra mile to ensure your stay is perfect. It was a special occasion and we had looked forward to a particular tour for a long time (which she had organised at our request) but when cancelled due to weather, she spent so much time trying to accommodate us in the limited time we were there. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel particularly and personally welcomed and special without any intrusion on our privacy and holiday. Like I said, a true gem! I would never hesitate to recommend this accommodation.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Extremely nice, spacious, fully equipped apartment with an amazing view over the ocean from the balcony. Also, a big shout out to Ari at front desk who helped us arrange some wonderful excursions during our visit (K'gari and whale watching); her understanding of our needs was second to none; It was a joy to stay here. Only downside is the incredibly small car park. I would suggest trying to find parking elsewhere

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with this accommodation service. Despite having paid in full for my reservation (2x two bedroom sea view units), upon arrival, I was informed that they had double-booked and, as a result, my accommodation was canceled without any prior communication. Then stated that I must have cancelled the booking on the same day that I paid in full and received confirmation of payment. Very odd!
This lack of transparency and disregard for customer convenience left 2 families travelling together stranded without any alternative arrangements. The complete absence of communication and the subsequent inconvenience were not only frustrating but also reflect poorly on the reliability of this service. They claimed I had cancelled, yet kept the full cost of moneys paid until we arrived on the day and then said they would sort out a refund! I did not receive a cancelled email or any communication stating they had cancelled my fully paid for accommodation.
I urge potential customers to exercise caution when considering this accommodation provider, as my experience was far from satisfactory.

Run down dirty apartment, photos speak for itself, you showered and had to wipe the floor upon getting out as the ridiculous screen there was doing nothing. Shower needs some sort of safety rail to assist in getting in and out.
Mould on the ceilings and clearly care factor zero the pegs wow they couldn’t even spare to replace them. Such a dirty overpriced apartment.
Would not say that Ari was pleasant upon arrival. Owners of the complex/ apartment need to find new management and also spend some money to fix the place.
Overpriced for a very run down apartment, should you book avoid room 4.
The grounds outside were not even clean.
Would not stay at SANTALINA again or would recommend to anyone.

Stayed here 26-27 December 2021 and loved it. Our one bedroom apartment was spotless, ultra modern and exquisitely decorated. The inground pool area is gorgeous and beautifully landscaped. A bonus was an extensive suite of Foxtel satellite TV channels and a large modern panel television. Parking is free of charge and management super friendly. A modern hotel/pub is nearby with extensive menu choices. Would not hesitate to recommend the Santalina Holiday Apartments to friends or family. We will definitely return.

Very clean, comfortable, great views and location. Just next door to beachfront restaurant, 3 minutes walk to iconic Urangan Pier and just across the road from esplanade. Inner buildings apartments are very quite and from the balcony you can see swimming pool and garden and a bit of the ocean. Very pleasant and restful place to stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will be back and highly recommend to everyone.

The apartments are the the quiet part of Hervey Bay, close to the pier and looking out over the ocean.
We stayed in apartment number 5, very clean & tidy, a comfortable place to come back to relax in. Has great views out onto the ocean and pier, handy restaurants nearby. Others in our family stayed in number 4, which has been recently renovated.
Staff are very friendly and helpful, which make the stay much more pleasant- thank you 🙏
This is our second time here and would recommend this place to anyone, though be aware as stated in other reviews that you get plenty of exercise with the stairs, so travel light 😆

I don't like big resorts and this is exactly what I love. It's a small older block, not run down and dingy though, week maintained, but the position..., the view, service, are brilliant. Not many places to get a vote like this due the price. I've stayed at the Oaks next door, but now I stay here. The sea view rooms have the best water and Fraser Island views in town. Salt cafe next town is amazing, there's a pub on your doorstep to watch sport or just laze away an arvo with ya better half, I've cream so for the kids, bakery, honestly, urangan is the best part of hervey bay. Full facilities of a home, but cheaper than some motels not even near the water. This is my third stay, and now I have a booking twice a year, every year.

Our family of 4 have just returned from a 2 night stay in HB. These apartments are huge and spotlessly clean and very reasonably priced. We had a beautiful view of the bay and the pier from our balcony. We didn’t encounter any noise from the street or the pub next door. The lady at reception was super friendly and helpful and we were able to charge our EV in the basement car park. There’s a fantastic Asian restaurant next door (Two Ducks Cafe) and plenty of other eating options within walking distance away. We will definitely look at staying here again when next in Hervey Bay.
