Beachside Motor Inn Hervey Bay
Shelly Bay Resort
Thai restaurant on the premises.
Playa Concha Motor Inn
Spanish restaurant on the premises.
The resort tag on the end of the names of hotels and motels in Hervey Bay can be misleading. It seems a small backyard swimming pool is all that is required for a fairly standard motor inn to call itself a resort. Check the facilities carefully, so you know what you are in for.
Top end
Mantra Harvey Bay
One of the Pepper's chain of resorts is on the Esplanade. Fancy! Has three bedroom apartments consisting of a hotel room + 2 bedroom adjoining.
Breakfree Apartments
1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments
There are many apartments for rent along the esplanada. The esplanade is a road that runs along the waterfront, but there are no buildings on the ocean side of the road. All the apartments, motels, etc look over the road, and then a park, and then the water. You have to cross the road to the beach.
