Detailed Reviews
We had wonderful stay in this cosy B&B. It's fitted out and furnished to a high standard with lovely furniture and our super comfortable bed was made up with premium linen. We booked the Hervey Studio room which gave us a little extra living space and an adjoining bathroom and toilet. We arrived during a torrential rain storm and Scott was there to meet us with an umbrella. The continental breakfast is wonderful with a fresh fruit platter, juice, a selection of cereals and jams, and home made bread. As a guest you have 24 access to shared kitchen facilities equipped with cutlery, crockery, glassware, an espresso machine and an assortment of premium teas. It's in a good location just a short walk to the Esplanade.

My husband and I stayed at Freshwater BnB for 3 nights. The host, Scott, goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and relaxed. We booked the Queen Suite, which had a very comfortable bed, it's own bathroom (including bath) and toilet and 2 electric recliner chairs, large TV, bar fridge and air conditioning. There is a communal dining room and small, well equipped kitchen.
Everything has been thought of...from a huge array of teas, a coffee machine, a variety of milks, microwave and small oven and cooktop (with pots and pans), to umbrellas, and a variety of equipment (bikes, fishing rods, etc) that you can borrow.
Breakfast is set up from 6.30am to 11am and you help yourself to a variety of cereals, fresh fruit platter, home made bread, huge variety of spreads and cans of spaghetti or baked beans.
The house is tastefully decorated and spotless. It combines an atmosphere of class while feeling welcoming and relaxed.
It is a 2 minute walk to the beach and there are a variety of restaurants within an easy walk(the Pizza place round the corner has amazing pizzas!).
I would highly recommend a stay if you are in Hervey Bay.

I have just enjoyed a relaxing 4-night stay at the charming Freshwater BnB in Hervey Bay. The host, Scott, was on the footpath to welcome me on arrival and from then on nothing was too much trouble. He is an excellent host in a quietly unobtrusive and helpful way. This BnB exudes a warmth and friendliness as soon as you walk through the gate and it is beautifully and tastefully furnished with every convenience. My de luxe room with adjoining bathroom and toilet was extremely spacious and comfortable, the dining room most attractive with the table set with pretty blue and white china and the kitchen, to which guests have access at any time, is very well appointed and fitted with every appliance imaginable. The home-made fresh bread made daily by Scott's delightful mother, Coral, for breakfast is a highlight and the generous supply of assorted teas, coffees, fresh fruit, butter and milk as well as numerous other items is always available and much appreciated. There is so much attention to detail, even down to the provision of sunscreen and umbrellas if needed and I can recommend the Freshwater BnB unreservedly.

We stayed in the Hervey Room which is the largest of the 3 with a separate sitting area where you could watch the large flat screen TV, or you could swivel it round to watch it in bed. The bed was so comfortable, we had 3 perfect night sleeps. Breakfast was all laid out ready to help yourself any time between 6.30am and 11am, a lovely selection of fresh homemade bread and different spreads, cereals with choices of milk, fruit platter, fresh Orange juice and a coffee machine to make your own barista coffee plus a huge selection of Twinnings Tea Bags. Everywhere spotlessly clean, and lots of things to borrow to make your stay more enjoyable like books, games, umbrella and much more. Good choice of restaurants and take out all within walking distance and only a few minutes walk to the beach. We were leaving on Easter Sunday and found a little bag of Easter Eggs and other goodies for our drive home outside our door in the morning, plus mini Easter Eggs scattered over the breakfast table- a lovely touch! I would definitely recommend staying here if visiting the area, you won't be disappointed!

The location one block back from the Esplanade at Scarness is convenient to the beach, and the wonderful Enzo's restaurant literally on the sand. There are other restaurants a mere stone's throw away. The room was very stylish and comfortable, with plenty of towels and a small fridge. The breakfast provided was beautiful - freshly baked bread, eggs, fruit juice and cereal with all food preferences catered for.

The BnB is extremely clean and tidy. The owner, Scott, was extremely helpful and wonderfully nice. The location is perfect, just 1 street back from the beach and all the great eateries. We had room two which is probably the biggest of the three rooms. It was fantastic with a bed that is so comfortable it is hard to convince yourself to get up in the morning, as well as a little sitting area and a big screen tv that can be watched from the lounge chairs or the bed. If you do manage to drag yourself out of bed in the morning you will find fresh home made organic bread, fruit platters and all manner of cereals. The bread is delicious, as was all the fruit. And on leaving Scott gave us a care package of snacks for the trip home. We can definitely recommend this lovely accommodation.

This is our absolute favourite Hervey Bay spot for a get away and our third stay. I can't imagine the amount of behind the scenes work that must go into making this BnB run like clockwork. We never see anyone doing the cleaning, buffet set up, setting up rooms etc but it is always spotless and prepared - I think the owner must have a magic wand! It is a joy to be hosted by someone who so genuinely loves hospitality and excellence. We can't wait to come back Scott thank-you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Freshwater BNB. Scott was an exceptional host and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and an enjoyable experience. He has truly thought of everything. The location is ideal to allow access to all that the Hervey Bay esplanade had to offer. We felt relaxed and refreshed after our weekend and would definitely come back!
