The Beach Motel Hervey Bay
Staff were so kind and accommodating. Upon seeing our group make up, they recommended a bigger room so that we’d be more comfortable. This is directly across from the beach. There was laundry on site, which was very helpful during our overnight and we were able to walk to go eat.
